North west regional discussion

Light snow blowing about now.

[Day 10]

Why can't this storm do a 1987 an shift track NE through the night.

[Geordiesnow]

Light flurries for most of the day in what is just a horrible day really, cloudy skies bare ground, awful bone chilling wind and quite frankly I much rather a mild SW'LY over this.

All that said, saw a little bit of snow but sums it all up when the snow actually evaporates from the ground instead of melting it's that dry sort of air. 

The cold snap/spell has been fantastic for the UK on the whole though and shows a true beast from the east can happen and that winter is never over until it actually is. Some of the photos and videos I seen online have been breathtaking, something I very much ever doubt see here.

[Thunder Snow]

Despite light anow flurries and feeling cold. There seems to be a slight thaw 

[Backtrack]

Precip still in place across much of the UK, what’s the chances the energy from this storm will beef up the small band sat over us?

It might not be a thaw, it might be evaporation taking place because of the dry air and low dewpoints, seen it here and it's not something I seen before, shame it's not a positive though.

That's right, I also saw this happen in 2013. The wind is not helping things.

A few bits blowing around since this morning. Have now given up.

 Mr pedantic alert:  it’s sublimation. 

[Backtrack]

I genuinely think that’s it now for the winter. Can’t see us getting anything from this low and all shower activity is dead. Winter is over.

Getting darker so hopefully this is the start of the 3pm SE band from the midlands

Very technical but either way, it's not a good thing! 

Do think those in Merseyside got a chance of some persistent snow tomorrow, maybe more sticky snow also so no real drifting around either, we sgall see.

Snow beginning to fall here again after a 2hr lull 

[Guest Delete Me]

Snow in Stoke again

Some big blobs on the radar heading into the south now,  lets hope they don't make a left turn too early

Well i’m not giving up until the wind goes on-shore again and the 850s go positive. The rest of you can do what you want.

How the hell can it be thawing ??????

[toggerob]

I was on that part of the A6 past Dove Holes yesterday and when they mention 'whiteout conditions' on the news and alerts it's exactly how it sounds, I've only ever experienced something similar to it once before getting caught out by a brief (but sharp) snowstorm on the hills. 

[Iceaxecrampon]

Just how far is Emma going to progress N before wheeling away W?

Looks huge and growing all the time as it feeds of the English Channel.

[Rossyvalley]

Slightly confused to how a ‘thaw’ is underway!!!
