North West Regional Discussion 3 June 2020 onwards

[Thunder Snow]

Still rain showers here

FGS, if the BBC graphics are close to being true we’re entering drought conditions IMBY

after tonight’s slightest of potential, it’s dry dry dry until new year.

One crumb of comfort though is that today I was forecast snow throughout and it’s been mainly dry so the BBC’s information isn’t something you’d put your last fiver on.

Might be some surprises this week(not necessary this region) but it's very hit and miss. 

Anyways we may not get much if any PPN tonight as the models seem to be reverting most of it heading down the Irish Sea and looking at the radar, that does look a possibility. Very messy and complex set up to get the details exactly right but I was a little more encouraged last night but not now, hope that will change though. 

That said, good too see some snow reports coming in, mostly higher ground but the snow level has seemed to dropped a bit now. 

[Chris.R]

Only 3.2°C now  so another degree or so and we can start to get interested below 200 m. Only problem is there is no precip  here yet.

[Day 10]

Cracking news in the tweet thread too now regarding major SSW! Are we on the verge of an historic Winter, it certainly has all the ingredients! It has to happen again sometime. 

[Spah1]

raining

[SP1986]

Looking forward some  more interesting weather in the next week or so. Chance of snow down to low levels where showers hit where they are heavy.

Pretty chilly currently at 2.9C and a dewpoint of 1.6C in Wirral .. even now that's conducive to sleet

I mean, there's reasons to be optimistic but how many times have we been here before? Thinking were on the verge only to get nothing.

No we are not due a particularly cold winter with any significant major snowfalls. The ramping and hyping this winter had been obscene. Don’t fall for it.

I personally don't think we are heading into a historic winter... The cold upper air is nowhere to be seen.

However it does look like it'll be the coldest  period of weather since 2013

Ps it's raining

just a shame we can't even it if its a stonking event coming up, if like me, the nearest place to get snow is 30 miles away.....and we can't bloody travel anywhere during lockdown.  Just bloody typical.

Not saying anything will happen, but we are definitely due one given the krap we have had to endure the last 7 years except for 5 days at the end of February 2018. I thought the early 00s were bad, the 2013-2020 run surely had to be up there as one of the worst winter cluster since the last interglacial over 100,000 years ago.

We've reliably had a few snow events each winter here since I moved a few years ago. That's all you need.

Anyone in Burnley, Blackburn?

The average is 8 days of lying snow for most inland parts of the country. I make it about 5-10/56 for most low lying places, if they're lucky, in the last 7 years. 

[The Northern Ramper]

If what the 12z’s are showing came true we wouldn’t need to worry.

The Winter in general, not the next few days. 

The way the NH is at present & the forecasted SSW in the first part of Jan has the best ingredients in a long time to deliver a real Winter, a Winter of note.

In Blackburn. Yes covering of what could actually be termed snow now. Was a bit graupelly/slush to start but sorted itself it out. Impressive given how wet it was.
