True!

And this isn't an orange MO warning for chorley!!! Wrong again MO! This is brilliant. Mrs and baby in bed. Arm chair in front of fire watching lampost drinking Erdinger. I can only say that to you guys. If the lads ask me what i did last night i was out shagging not watchin lamposts!

I recon another 2 hrs of sleet/snow type stuff according to rain today radar 12 degrees tuesday bbq?

Keep going snow/sleety stuff. Anyone else go no sky signal???

How deep?

Nice covering here now. Very very wet snow almost deep slush! How do you stop the photo rotating when up loading?

10cm in my snow trap of a back garden!

clayton le woods more chorley really

Still belting it down in clayton-le-woods and topped up mondays snow which was still in the garden. Early walk tomorrow I think. Lookin like 10cm on the grass and decking and maybe 5cm on the roads. In fact I'll go and measure sad but who cares

Sky no signal! Aaahhhh. Stupid wind and snow! Not really forget sky i'll sit and watch it snow

Ha ha i'd like to see ice not frozen, wait thats water!

Well thank god for that. A decent 7-8 cm of the good stuff today, clayton le woods. Massive let down last friday after being the firing line of 10-15cm and under a MO orange warning for it to go tits up last minute. I don't feel quite aggrivated now. My 2 year old has thrown her first snowball, built her first snowman and has had her first sledg ride. MO got it spectacularly wrong and only issued a yellow warning as it was stopping! OK so we haven't had snow event on snow event like lots of others but at least we've had a taste. I can sleep better tonight.

School Closed going home for Snow Day !!!

What How Where When! Snow Snow Snow for the north West not even a yellow warning !!!! MO got it wrong! Yes! Clayton le Woods done ok looking out of window 3inch maybe. Rain Today says YES to more coming

Wahooooo snowed. Much more than expected !!!!

Try the met office i phone app it predicts rain/snow about 12hrs ahead

Why are people say its a non event, or its stopped etc its only meant to be half decent 9pm tonight

Check out the met office app for the i phone and look at predicted rain it should only beef up at 9ish tonight.

MO have updated snow for blackburn to start from 12 today was only meant to start at 9 tonight

MO has Chorley for snow frim 9pm to Monday lunch! Hope its more than the tiny little snow crystals we had on Friday. Why is the Block not pushing the whole system this way? Seemed to be there Friday

I love this regional discussion. Every Winter I look forward to the possible snow. Every Winter (except Dec 2009) we get nothing. I have moaned to the Mrs, the parents, the step parents, friends, work colleagues and my 2 year old. Reading that there are other people who feel like I do is light relief. On Friday a big low worked its way all the way across the atlantic and stopped at Wigan, undercut Birmingham and worked its way up the East! Amazing! The media talk about the NW missing the "worst of the snow". We've missed the BEST of the snow! Idiots! In Summer places get the "best" of the Sunshine indicating snow = bad, sun = good - snow doesn't give you skin cancer or burns your skin. Now snow is moving up from the south and reading the above post its missing chorley again. Rain and wind by next weekend. Rant over. PS keep up the humerous moaning

Just picking up on the breakdown conversation the MO have this as their lont term outlook Saturday 2 Feb 2013 to Saturday 16 Feb 2013 "There is greater-than-average uncertainty throughout this period. The most likely scenario is for initially cold conditions in the east to be replaced for a time by less-cold conditions spreading in from the west. At present this is thought likely to be a temporary change in weather type however, as colder weather and below-average temperatures probably come to dominate once more towards mid-month"

So Chorley missed the main event but got 2-3cm which has made everything white so not too bad. Whats the score with this then http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/chorley#?tab=fiveDay&fcTime=1358726400 Looking for the next excitement!!!

Its stopped Nnnnooooooo. Keep moving to chorley. 10 more miles please.

Can't get any work done !! Radar watching how sad.
