Starting to snow in Knowsley village now too

 Radar precip type calculations are all automated guesswork.

Getting heavier.

[Astral Goat Juice]

Turning increasingly to snow in Cheshire, and its very light, so that's a good sign. 

[cheshire snow]

Looks like lots of snow showers for liverpool chsshire and NW Midlands overnight according to the lunch time forcast looks like a classic cheshire Gap set up.

Hey bud.

 

In work so no access to telly etc. Looking at the charts it looked more like north Cheshire and MCR that were going to be hit. Is Crewe etc in the firing line? Only asking as it doesn't look like it on the raw charts.

sleeting / bits of snow in Kirkham

[Nailed-on Nigel]

Showers in Ellesmere Port turning increasingly wintry, from what I can make out through the toxic chemical smog.

Most data shows a large Cheshire Streamer incorporating Manchester too.

Looks like it has finally turned to 'proper' snow in Crewe from my windows, before it was just big flakes mixed in, now the smaller flakes are visible instead of rain. Still really wet snow but a start! haha

Cheers buddy.  I hope that is the case. The charts I have seen look more WNW which would miss Crewe etc as not NW enough.

I fear that after the will it wont it snow of today those of us further north in the region may also miss out on the fun overnight as well.  Those ppn charts and the latest met office forecast do not bode well for those further north.

 Getting lighter, all rain and temp rising again. Think this is the end of the front now.

Same here, definitely lighter snowflakes instead of large snowflakes and light rain.

Hello mate.. I'd suggest this is the best guess at the moment:-

Note the GFS op has (rather than the para) has consistently had the risk further SW.

Could all end up being wrong with just a few fleeting showers near the Wirral! 

Does look promising for now.
