Looking good on the radar with showers just to the north of Sheffield moving through/developing. Its those which are tending to hit Manchester head on. O
Yes despite the pessimism in here I think the NW radar looks good.. quite a few green/yellow echoes surviving.
Also most high-res output suggests the southern part of the region getting more organised snow by lunchtime.
There’s a lot upstream but generally light as they move over the tops.
Most model output has heavy showers pushing over us around lunchtime and mid afternoon.
Morning everyone. Despite a dry start snow is expected to push through the Manchester area towards lunchtime and mid afternoon.
This is also supported by the MetO app.

Fair enough!
Another shower about to hit I think (which has intensified over the Pennines). You can see it expand clearly between the 2145 and 2200 radar frames.
Edit - it’s suddenly died to very light over Tameside. Bugger
