Met Office explains reason Liverpool gets less snow than other areas (Liverpool Echo)

In previous years, even when it's been sub-zero temperatures, Liverpool and Merseyside have remained relatively snow-free, particularly in comparison to Greater ...

"When you get a north-westerly air coming down the Irish Sea across the Isle of Man and straight into Liverpool, that is a weather pattern that will bring potentially more snow to Liverpool. He said: "The fact that Liverpool is both low-lying and close to the Irish Sea means that temperatures are likely to be warmer than average. Similarly, Liverpool's low-lying ground close to the coast means that temperatures are warmer, as the higher you go uphill the colder it generally becomes. "However we do get changes to that over winter. You've got a colder air mass coming in from a northwesterly direction that has quite a long sea track so it picks up more moisture and would be a more moisture-laden air and that's when you can expect Liverpool to be more on the frontline of snowfall." Madge said this weather pattern isn't always the case.
