Surprise fall overnight, a shower which lasted albeit 30 mins has given a 2cm covering. Although its far from anything significant it is a pleasant surprise nevertheless.

Looks like I got this one wrong, but I am fairly certain that this will be all we will see in this location in terms of snowfall for the rest of the winter, with themps set to gradually rise and a return to westerly zonality heading into February.

Yes GFS looking horrible last few runs overall but metO still hinting at something cold albeit dry for us

Yes mate, and in fairness GFS has been pretty much spot on recently.

Which models do you use to come to that forecast?

GFS mostly and past experiences in addition to weather trends and patterns.

Why?

Haha the reason I'm optimistic is because of the GFS's horrible performance regarding Thursdays snowfall

Superb mate! Parts in around Manchester seem to have done really well for once.

Enjoy it - much deserved!

Because it seems at odds with what I am seeing

Thursdays snowfall is a non event for the majority in the region, the midlands/south will get an absolute pummelling.

Will be avoiding the news that day that's for sure!

Yes for once, really happy with it, you'll get your chance soon

For my sanity Thursdays low is a no-goer BUT weirder things have happened and there has been a slight shift north on the 6z...who knows?

[Alister]

Anyone in the Chorley area getting snow from this next incoming shower?

Got a surprise couple of cm's overnight which was a bonus for me in all honesty as it certainly was not forecasted or expected.

Those are the ones you cherish the most.

Yes still heavy snow here.

[Summerstorm]

Output doesn't look too bad to me 6z suggesting an easterly. 

[captaincroc]

This mornings snow was a lovely surprise. Driving to work in sub zero temps with heavy fluffy flakes beats wet slushy snow any day.

20% chance of getting into the very south of the region (Cheshire).

10% chance of getting into the centre of region (Lancashire, Gtr Man).

1% chance of getting into the north of the region (Cumbria and above). And if it did it would fizzle out as light snow.

Can never really get excited about an easterly. Generally useless for our region unless they are extremely potent.

I would sadly agree, SO much potential was there too. Who knows?

[Frost HoIIow]

A decent covering here but not as much as the beast. Thought there was going to be nowt when I woke up. Looks like I was just about south enough to get into the showers.

[Day 10]

Met Office update for coastal regions:

6pm to 10am - Ice

Within the text it says a further 1-2cms possible. 

[More Runs Needed]

Shower seems to be breaking up but will hopefully reach us

[Geordiesnow]

Got the lightest most patchiest of dustings here, i keep looking at the radar and its de ja vu it seems with that line of showers just skirting to the south of me, nevermind thats just how the weather goes. 

At least Barmada is happy though - thank goodness. 

[Blowingsand]

Latest from the coast just North of Blackpool,Cleveleys, Bispham area.

 Snow Shower stopped ten minutes ago.But another shower lurking just off the coast about to move in.

With some nice colours showing intensity.

Showers in the Irish Sea all the way to the North East of the Isle Of Man .Pot luck i suppose if you are in the target area

Sure to make their way inland.

Sky darkening now,taking shelter,a enjoyable morning so far.

Over and out.
