Seems there ia a  touch more Northerly in the winds at present   showers should be incoming around the Stafford  Penkrige area maybe.

Problem is, look at how the Peak District is killing the showers between Chesterfield and Stafford. A more northerly element would get them more on course for the Stafford/Penkridge...possibly even Wolverhampton areas, but it would also give them an even longer track right over the peaks. And the wind just isn't strong enough for them to survive.

When the wind is strong, we can get anything from anywhere, otherwise we're depending on a direct track from the Dee Estuary, the Wash or very rarely, the Severn Estuary (that last one is a good thunderstorm producer in the summer though!)

Sorry to sound pessimistic, but that's how I see it right now. 

I would be grateful if someone could now provide an example where what I've just said could be proved wrong!

Be happy with that. Think they might just scrape past me at my work in Stoke but my home in Longton might get it full on, and it usually settles a bit more easily there (Less built up and slightly higher elevation).

I get what your saying, but those winters from 2014 to 2017 were really hard work to get through.

Windstorms can bring their own headlines, but one after the other after the other after the other with hardly even any frost was a bit too much for me!

The beautiful few crisp hours that was early Thursday morning trumped all 4 of those winters in one go for me.

No i agree  Easterly from the wash is perfect for here  all low lying land   as you say the Peaks are very similar to the welsh mountains from the west   just gobbles up all the showers.

That big blob of snow over the Cotswolds across to Bristol is incredible, just keeps on re-energising itself and has barely moved for hours, must have dumped incredible amounts over that area by now.

A more nne drift in the winter will and due to the extended land mass and hills then showers just will not survive, in summer yes, then storms have been produced by that scenario. If the wind was a ene direction then the flow would be from the wash area. An example of this happened last March 1st, 2nd last year, not ideal i know, but it produced a severe fall of snow.

I’ll spare you the photos of my family playing in the snow in London. Makes me laugh how they suddenly get so much snow now I’ve moved away. After all those years of frustratingly watching the rest of the country get snow while London missed out. My snow shield is immense
