Moderate snow here, let up for a couple of hours around midday but started up again at 3, mini 4 inch drifts and a more general couple of inches at our altitude (some melting in mid afternoon lull). Lovely stuff. Absolutely hammering it down on the top of the hill (290m asl) and must be a good 5-6 inches up there by now. Bodes well for those in the North Midlands and North Wales.

Wild enough wind picking up here in Galway as the sky lowers  Remains to be seen if that approaching front brings any snow or just loads of rain.

Several hours of steady light to moderate snow has now replaced the snow cover that melted during the sleety spells earlier.

Just for interest down here in the far SW the temperature didn’t drop below 7.5c last night and today maxed out at 12.6c. Three hundred miles north is was around 1c and snowing…. I think that’s amazing.

Don't get too despondent. I think Manchester will get more than Liverpool. And, as the ppn is more frontal, I wouldn't worry that much about direction. Can't see it being a memorable event in either city, though. I reckon 1-3cm Liverpool; 2-5cm Manchester. 

Different story for Leeds and, especially, Sheffield though. And indeed for places like Oldham, Bolton, Huddersfield, Halifax, etc. 

Altitude a huge factor. The curse of our climate (oh, how we were spoilt in that 09-13 period, where the air aloft always seemed cold enough 😥)

Sadly the very fact the precipitation is frontal is part of the issue. I learned in 2013 (with some coaching from @TomC ) , that the southeasterly wind dries out precipitation in a very specific area including Greater Manchester and North Cheshire.

Don’t be surprised to see snow tomorrow in west Cheshire and Merseyside, a dry slot around Manchester, with it peeping up again east of the city and towards the hills. Happened frequently in 2013. 

Still, uncertainly remains, so we shall see. Looks quite marginal at points, regardless! 

Good luck.

Fingers crossed. We have the elevation here in Queensbury. The highest village in England I believe. So far this winter we've had no more than a cm or two. This could be the last hurrah and the models are indicating close to a full day of snow and I'm WFH tomorrow and Friday.

It's now snowing here in Edinburgh although that hasn't come to anything just yet although there is the odd very bright echo on the precipitation radar map just to my NE and so, this could be that North Sea streamer which Jerry was mentioning on another thread a few days ago.

The snow has now got much heavier here in Edinburgh and is now settling quite nicely on the ground with the temperature already down to around -1°C as at 9pm GMT (21:00 UTC) this evening.

So far the Forth Streamer has been catching the north of Edinburgh as it moves in from the NE giving snow cover there.
There's been another streamer to my south giving snow to the Lammermuirs and Pentlands. Apart from the odd flake, nothing here.....there's something lurking offshore with my name on it though 😁
