You couldn't make this up. It's as though we're on this little island here in Dale. If the wind has yet to activate the full snow shield then god help us later on

….until it evaporates on approaching Manchester as the rain shadow impacts kick in
Yep, not difficult to spot beginnings of 'the hole' on the latest radar. Moisture not struggling to get to Lancaster/Harrogate. Hoping this day isn't going to be as frustrating as its starting to look

Difficult to see what's going to happen in 24 hrs at the moment so time to focus on what is going on now. On the current radar over the Humber estuary is a blob that is shown on the met office precipitation maps. The met show it making its way here early afternoon. Might be one to watch.

From 30 miles to the north east there's some fascinating tops to those showers passing to the west of Knutsford right now.

Fantastic walk to school and back this morning. Beautiful views across the village to Knowl Hill and Rooley Moor. Equally as good as the walk at 20c on a clear July morning.

Managed to get around 3cm here. Mustn't grumble at that. Will look stunning once the sun comes up. Reading through the comments it again gives a clear indication of the variance of snow depth/favourable shower locations across the region.

Wasn’t meant to get going properly for a little while.
You could be right but let’s judge later
Spot on. Just having a whinge as I feel we've been here numerous times before. Radar suggests showers further inland already.

I've got a feeling it's going to another one of those days with regards to snow. Showers from the NW are struggling to get past the M6 at Morecambe/Lancaster let alone travel another 30 miles inland and drop any snow. Unless there's a marked uptick in energy or instability this could turn out to be another dud from the NW in a long line of duds. Something that seems to have happened a fair bit in recent years. If it was rain you can guarantee it'd be pouring down outside.

Nearly midday and it's still -3c here. Enveloped in fog all morning so no sun to help out. Bitterly cold and completely calm. Fingers crossed a few showers make it this far inland.

Wow those dps have dropped from earlier. Now 8c down at -7.6c. Air temp exactly 0c. Stunning blue skies.

Heavy snow here in a very blustery wind. Temp dropped to 0.3c now and snow sticking to many surfaces apart from those still really wet.

A few flakes falling from this band coming from the north. Very marginal though as dew point still just above freezing and air temp is 2c. Hopefully will begin to drop through the day.

Doesn't get much more grim than a wet and dark January day like today. Nearly 30mm of rain here which takes the total this month to over 100mm. Considering that's not far off an average total for the whole month, it's been a very wet start. A little surprised there's not been more issues with flooding.

Looking like a grim day is on the cards today. Can't help but think that if it had been 5 or 6c colder this band wouldn't stand a chance of getting here. There's snow way it would have got to our region, it'd die on is way through the Midlands and the infamous rain shadow would suck the life from what was left

Good old cold wet rain here. Thankfully none of that freezing stuff in the warning for this altitude.

Still just about clinging on to snow up here. On the turn when it gets lighter. Heavy stuff still all snow for now.

Just the few miles of Rooley Moor between us and drier than a camels backside here, such is the frustrating nature of showers.
For the moment at least, it’s turning into a repeat of last Saturday here with the shower streams running to my north and south and bone dry across the middle bit and the radar is currently showing little change in that.
We were lucky here. Caught the northern edge as it passed. There does seem to be a dry gap Southport to Blackburn. Think things will change as the morning progresses

Moderate to heavy snow at times for the last hour. Good covering of an inch on every surface.

Looking chilly out there this morning. Looks like something is brewing in the Irish Sea for a few of us.

We've been sat under low cloud since 10 this morning. It's as close to sitting inside the freezer as possible. Still not risen above -2c. The difference even a weak sun makes on days like today is incredible. Any soft ground is now rock hard so anything falling from the sky later will stick or freeze on impact.

So far these showers are struggling to get beyond Wrexham to the south or cross the M6 before running out of steam. If the wind swings to more of a westerly later today and overnight will they reach Manchester or beyond? Can't see it at the moment but would love to be wrong.

I don't know where Google's weather.com automated notifications get the data but it seems quite keen on the possibility of some afternoon and evening showers here. Not much sign of similar anywhere else. So much frost out there this morning it looks like snow.

Anybody hoping for Thursday lunchtime snow best avoid the Met Office app map forecast. In contrast to their own timeline showing snow shower potential, the automated map has any activity way out west over NW Wales heading south. No idea which is using the latest information

I can verify that. Its actually quite frustrating and intriguing in equal measure. It's a very localised issue. If you run through the radar you can clearly see it.
