Going back to Anglesey (and being boring no doubt), i reckon you can trace that back to the "boomerang" that was mentioned yesterday afternoon/evening. It had grown in size by the time it hit here but passed through fairly quickly.

 Come to Ramsbottom with me on Sunday then and at least it will be cold and white there.

Well I think its time to call it a day, its been a decent winter here in the east of the region with quite a few separate snow falls & the best till last. But as others have said a real severe winter is possible soon with the solar minimum. Doesn't guarantee it but just makes it more likely so most of us should get a proper snowfall then.

Some scenes from parts of Cumbria... exceptional... no words ??

[Acupuncturist]

Just been outside and......its raining 

[SnowThunder]

Need the North Sea to get really active via Hull to have any hope of anything decent coming our way otherwise the only decent clump of snow we have on offer is the one currently south of Bradford but no doubt the hills will destroy it

[Summerstorm]

Anyone got any idea why the shower band over me and Chester/Mold way has completely died out within 10-15 minutes? Been going steadily for the last five hours as well  I'm guessing it's to do with the front weakening as it is travelling further north.

[Acupuncturist]

I saw nothing from down this way. Meteor maybe?

[Acupuncturist]

Chris R did you read my mind or something? You seem to have quoted something I hadnt said...but then went on to say...lol.

Maybe its cos we are both from Crosby 

[PsychedelicTony]

Is the wind SE/ESE?

Had 24hrs of snizzle from that once in Chorlton. Fine ice pellets leading to zero accumulation.

[carl1980]

That wind has picked up again

Midlands getting battered AGAIN

Painful is not the word

C.S 

If anyone outside this Region Whinges about snow next winter they will get a reminder about what we did not get

I know your pain well - growing up in Sandbach, South Cheshire so very much C.S and Crewe Cold territory I've never known a more frustrating place for snow than low lying North West England including Liverpool and the Wirral - to get snow depths deeper than 5cm is a task in itself because as tonight and this week have demonstrated we are often too far north, south or east to get the 'big' snow events as low lying Cheshire, Merseyside and South Manchester is sheltered to the west by the welsh hills, to the south by the Shropshire hills and  Staffordshire Moorlands and east to the Peak District so it really takes a potent polar low, NNW or right side of marginal battleground scenario like those seen in Winter 2009/10 and the big freeze of Dec 2010 to deliver. The biggest snow events I saw in the Cheshire plain were the Irish Sea streamer 5th Jan 2010 event (12cm) and the 17th Dec 2010 event (16cm) whereas here in the suburbs of North London I've seen two 10cm falls this Winter. Hold tight though guys your time will come - who knows there may well be a great North West Blizzard of Winter 2018/19 just around the corner!
