North West Regional Discussion 30 Jan 2019 onwards

[Miamay]

Seems unlikely !! 

[toggerob]

I thought Buxton would be doing well snow-wise from this trough, here in Whaley it's wet snow but not settling just yet.

[The Northern Ramper]

I dont see it getting here, not much of a northerly extent to its track.

[Had Worse]

Close but no cigar for me it seems

[Spah1]

Look at the shower north of Dublin now. 

Should make it here about 3pm

Snow or rain?

Dry here but cold

[itsnowjoke]

Temp 5c feels colder in the wind

[Chris.R]

Temp 7.2°C, DP 1°C. Dry all day. 

[Backtrack]

Weird updated warning that from the Met Office? Band has already flew East and they’ve backed the warning west?

Hopefully showers pack in later and produce. 

[Had Worse]

The proper snow is / was around 16 miles south of me. Never mind.

[Andypvfc]

Had a couple of Hours worth on the Staffs / Cheshire Border. Sun is back out now.

[frosty ground]

Irish sea looks dead.

Got caught in it just north of Crewe about 1pm. Really big flakes for about half an hour. Finally I've seen some snow this winter.

[itsnowjoke]

Got some snow and hail falling

[itsnowjoke]

Stopped now

[Snowmusic]

Nothing all day here bar a few hailstones around the school run time this morning. We seem to have fallen just between he two bands of showers . Maybe we’ll snatch a few flakes off the incoming band in an hour or two

Poor METO office text forecast if you are after snow (especially low ground)

Rain showers perhaps merging into longer spells of rain.

Tomorrow more showers perhaps wintry

Wednesday Frequent snow Showers Which is strange as the forecast at lunchtime was a ridge to build in and showers to be less frequent.

Because of the shorter sea track, Irish sea convection tends to be alot more limited, disorganised and at times quite unflattering than what the Atlantic and North Sea can produce. Its just pot luck how much shower activity you can get really. 

Sometimes it does ramp up but unlike the Atlantic and the North Sea these tend to be in isolated spells rather than anything prolonged.
