I think the key is how long the precipitation sticks around once conditions become favourable.

I'd expect due points to go below 1c from about 11-12pm tonight, initially in west and south yorkshire, then to most parts later.

Thank you. Im just at a lost with the situation. Not been too focused on tonights feature as didn't expect it to amount to much. Not seen any real mention on significant snow at all on here as thought it was looking too marginal. But after reading the North West thread just now and talks in there of 'witnessing something historic' its making me wonder if this snow event has been heavily under estimated? Just look how heavy thay precipitation is for a start.

Let’s hope we get a full surprise

I think the guy suggesting it could be a historical event, was just probably a little over excited as I saw on the radar he got caught under that torrential blob just as the rain/sleet transitioned to snow .. Yeah some places getting heavy snow now in north west england might get a nice covering. And for a few lucky places in our region, will be likewise. Just depends on who gets the heavy/long lasting echoes when all conditions are favourable. The window for this is probably between 11pm-4am, not a big window but if you land jackpot with some torrential bursts in that time accumulations could rapidly grow. Guess that's where the interest really comes from tonight.

Problem is, temps not due to drop much below 2c tonight so as soon as it's stopped it'll all be gone by morning!

Not seeing many showers over the weekend and next week. Disappointing really, was hoping for more from this next cold blast, but nothing shown currently

A couple of screen grabs from M56 Runcorn and Manchester Airport.  Looks to me like Highways Agency have been badly caught out here.  Maybe should be getting advice from Kasim who has been pretty much spot on with this on his new forum.
