BBC one local weather VERY encouraging then I must say!

yeah should be a good weekend to be in North Wales!!!

Hi guys, good to be back again watching the build up to some decent winter weather!! Looks like I might have picked the wrong (or right I suppose) day to drive from Manchester to North Wales on Friday to go Christmas shopping with my mum in Chester, should be fun!!

Snowing heavily again!

You sure height is going to be needed, it wasn't with what came down an hour ago!

Starting again in Manc CC!

Absolute white out in Manc city centre, heaviest snow I have seen for a couple of years! Edit - Gone very dark too!

It's started snowing big wet flakes in Manc CC now, doubt it will stick though as it's very wet out and not that cold, looks good though! Edit - It's getting a lot heavier now, looks nice from my office window!

Is really coming down again in Salford, big flakes too. My car is getting covered again and only went out in it an hour ago. My friends up in Edenfield are snowed in!

The Met have updated their snow and ice warnings for later to cover pretty much the whole region later.

I can't believe it's not letting up at all, intensifying if anything, got a really good covering now, I'm loving it. As is my cat, he's 3 and has never seen proper snow like this, he keeps running in and out the cat flap, meowing loudly and frolicking like a nutter in the snow!

It's almost white out conditions now, really coming down, wasn't expecting this!

It's just started getting heavier, much bigger flakes as well.

It's proper coming down now, everything has got a lovely covering now!

Yeah same here, very odd that Stockport has nothing, is even settling on my road which is pretty busy this time of day.

Getting heavy again, everything got a covering now, am just a wee bit excited!

Getting heavier and starting to stick to surfaces but not the ground as yet.

Is getting darker and colder here and the snow is starting to get into it's stride.

Ok is starting to actually snow, very slowly getting more and more fluttering down, fingers crossed for the evening.

OMG I've just seen 2 large flakes flutter down! lol

Has gone very cloudy here in Salford and feels like temps have dropped a wee bit, but nowt falling from the sky as yet.

It's gone dark and is lightly raining here.

Oh I hope so, I have a 4 day weekend starting in t-minus 47 minutes!

I was looking at that on the Raintoday radar, do we have any idea if any of it is going to far inland to say, oh I don't know, Manchester area????

Damn it! I can see plenty of white on the hills above Oldham (I think, where all the wind turbines are) from desk at work, maybe I'll go look around there, also had snow and ice alerts for all around by were my folks and brother live in North Wales so might pop down there instead, is about time my brothers shiny new Defender that he got just before crimbo got it's first proper work out I'd say (he's being far to precious about it, what was the point of the massive mud and snow tyres it's got otherwise?!?! lol).
