Oh trying to find weather forecast for Thur 23 and Fri 24, looked at several sites all are different.

The BBC and Met sites have similar forecasts while Metcheck and UK Weather both tell me it is going to be a lot colder and snow on days the Mt and BBc think it is not

Weather Underground are somewhere between the BBC/Met and UK Weather/Metcheck

So which to believe

The BBC get their data from the Met Office, they just don't update it as frequently.

the reason the forecasts are so different is because the forecast is so very very uncertain this week. At the moment it is difficult to forecast even tomorrows weather.

In general I would go with the met office - their only real fault is not conveying the uncertianty of their forecasts soometimes. (oh and their ridiculous seasonal forecasts)

Thanks everyone

I need to get into Manchester on the 23rd as I have been summoned by my boss. I have a sister who lives in Manchester, was going to stay over and then we could go bak to mine for Christmas together the following day

Also thinking of booking a last minute ski trip for boxing day or going to Scotland

Live in North Wales not so effected by the snow
