Very, very interesting this.
What seems most encouraging is the surface parameters. North of the low, temperatures and dewpoints seem consistently to be modelled at or below freezing. That is relatively rare for events like this when upper air temps are forecast to be so modest, i.e. just below freezing.
Across and around the M62 corridor seems to be the sweet spot at the moment, But this could change.
Any models that don’t show lying snow for the Manchester area or North Cheshire are probably accounting for the easterly wind foehn effect / rain-shadow which is incredibly difficult to predict. Looking at the vector and the potency of the front, I’m hoping it be won’t be a huge issue this time - , We won’t know until the front starts rolling in.
