North West Regional thread 01/09/18 Onwards......

[joggs]

Precip is racing through.

Wales is just rain atm.

[iand61]

The radar shows the band of activity out in the Irish Sea to be on a SW NE track and missing most of the region.

hopefully this will veer more westerly but it’s currently looking good for Cumbria, providing of course it falling as snow.

Sorry mate

Re above, it was always forecast to start as rain until cold air undercuts in the evening. 

 

We start the day at 1.6C

Man I miss you being in this thread...used to be in all the time back in the day

This front is earlier than expected, could bode well for more showers later?.

[Spah1]

can’t wait

[Had Worse]

Some will be waking up this morning to a snow deal exit.

Yeah rain for us too, so even if snow does appear later tonight it won't have much effect on sticking. It rained last night too. I always go by the language used the second anyone says marginal then in reality it means rain unless you live on a hill or mountain. That logic is yet to be wrong.

See above! 

[Iceaxecrampon]

Well. I’m off to Balderstone. 

Enjoy your sleet folks! 

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Heavy rain now

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Turning sleety

[gearbox100]

It's an ice ring outside at the moment. I just went skating to bus stop.

Morning all

00z EURO4 - if you look carefully there is a very unfortunate little slice in the Manchester area. 

NWS’s favourite word - altitude! Still looking good for a streamer though 

[northwestsnow]

Why is the precip moving North west??

 

[Had Worse]

Snow from last night is still on the roads and roofs. Must be cold.

[Spah1]

We should pray Thursday’s band moves north. 

That is 10cm 15cm event. Day off work. Sledging with the kids. Building snowmen the full works. 

I genuinely don’t think I can watch a 4th time where it just work across the midlands. 

 

[northwestsnow]

EC is a little further north than UKMO  for thur and brings some snow into the region..

As for today, im less confident i think,far too marginal for my liking.

[Joe Bloggs]

GFS para - again, tomorrow morning one to watch. Everything crossed they have the convective zone spot on..

If you mean north east that's because we have a complicated dual signature due to the low deepening. That line from Scotland through Ireland essentially merges with the stuff in front and pushes it all south east.

Keep your temperature and precipitation reports coming.

0c covering of snow from overnight showers still...icy patches out...cloudy...
