Looking at forcast  on tv it shows Emma shifting towards Ireland before it gets near us

A couple of trees down in Bacup now, this wind really is nasty and warrants a warning in its own right.

I can confirm, I'm just over the hill in Todmorden, it is blowing a game, any other time there would be a warning for just the wind.

The 18z Hi Res models will be very interesting... as whether it's hopecasting or not, what is on the radar is not what was forecast from any model.  This is an exciting evening for sure.

Would you care to expand a bit please

Can anybody tell me if the bypass to Haslingdon is open as I was told it was closed earlier and I have to travel on it Tommorow

Chris Fawkes (and other experts) are saying that none of the models have got Emma correct and that it is indeed more east than first progged (Met O have just updated warnings moving them more east too), all I am saying is that the 18z runs will have the latest data so hopefully might show a shift in the precipitation forecast.

Thanks for that mate

Got my snow shovel ready

BBC still showing it moving out over Ireland, ITV were using the updated data before 7pm showing Emma further East.

That's far too big.

[Miamay]

Wind has really got up now. Can hear the howling and gusts

[Thunder Snow]

wind is really strong here

[Darren Bown]

That wind must be gusting at least 60mph at times. Worst it’s been today.

[Winter Hill]

Are the winds SE now ???

[Darren Bown]

Is the strengthening wind because the centre of emma is further NE, squeezing the air over the top of it?

[SnowThunder]

Wind here is gusty, not as strong it's been in past months but can really start to feel the cold now. Still no snow though

[loubie_4]

Really wish it’d snow here.??

Highway in the Sky section was closed for much of the day as was the M66 down Rammy and the roads from Burnley to Rawtenstall and Bacup we’re both blocked by snow so let’s see if tomorrow brings an improvement.

[Gary R Betreen]

I guess that is it for Greater Manchester as far as any snow fest this winter.  We came close I guess.

Good. Because we're as  dry as a bone on thre Fylde  and  all it is it's blowing a fkg Hollie  otherwise.

According to the radar it is snowing in Liverpool.

[SP1986]

Ive just been in Liverpool to be honest there is virtually nothing falling 

[northwestsnow]

Looking at some of the pics on twitter of saddleworth it really is something to behold..

Literally incredible scenes.

[Darren Bown]

I think it’s all anoprop.

[gearbox100]

Nothing falling here, it is funny that the South gets snow and we have television shows about it.
