Lovely photo! Sounds like we've all had similar weather today - a slight thaw with a long, light snow fall. It is still snowing here which must be at least 12 hours now but it is hardly making an impression. Although it's on our pavements and paths here, the snow on the grass is struggling to stay put. 2.5 miles up the road however in Woolton woods we've just had a glorious walk in an inch or so of fresh snow! From the top of the hill we couldn't see the river, never mind the Welsh mountains, in the white out!

Current temp at LJLA still at 1c. We had a slight covering of snow in South Liverpool overnight but as the morning progressed the snowflakes have shrunk to dots and are washing away the snow! If this carries on there won't be much left by the evening. Hope the rest of you are getting what you wanted!

Fingers crossed for you! You are just across the river from me so hopefully one of the times when I get up in the night and check out the window because I can't sleep in anticipation, I'll see some snow! Night all.

The slush here which has melted a lot today is now crunchy and slippy underfoot. I've just checked the temps at LJLA which is near me and it is 0c there, DP -1c, and they are expecting snow showers.... at the moment anyway! The RainToday radar now shows what looks like rain/sleet heading our way. The BBC 24 weather report showed the snow clouds broken up and not delivering much in south Liverpool so I'm not expecting much in the morning. I am, however prepared to be surprised....

Same here in South Liverpool. Most of ice has turned to slush and snow on grass getting thinner. Temp at LJLA 1c.

I'm 2 miles the other way from you and I'm getting very light snizzle!! Maybe the Hale Parochial Council have told the snow it can't fall there....!

Thicker snow has melted here in South Liverpool to show the grass in patches and roads are turning to slush except where solid ice is. We've had a tiny bit of light rain in the last hour and although it is cold in the wind which is light, it's not too bad. LJLA are going for cloud and sleety showers for tonight and tomorrow and their current temp is 3c.

From Liverpool City Council website - looks like they're expecting more snow...... "There are sufficient grit supplies to continue gritting the major roads network over the weekend to tackle freezing conditions. There will also be further gritting of bus routes and danger spots. On Thursday, the city received 130 tonnes of rock salt and a further 40 tonnes from British Salt, with more supplies expected to arrive on Monday. Teams of staff will be working until 10pm tonight clearing ice and snow from pavements at bus and rail stations, priority pavements in the city centre and district shopping centres and at pedestrian crossings. They will start again at 4am tomorrow."

Hi Jenny I was a 'lurker' for a long time before I joined. You have to hit the ground running in here because it's very busy! Although I'm an amateur I have learned such a lot just from reading the posts and I rely on the NW boards for my weather forecasts instead of the TV! LiverBird

Wellllll.... I'm still a newby at this..... but when I search for Liverpool on the raintoday radar, I can see pink dots floating across the Wirral... I'm presuming that's snow but it could be a migraine starting...

Looking the raintoday radar again, the Wirral seems to have it's own little group of snow showers just floating around the area but not really going anywhere!

Well Done OON!! We've sent a couple in but as of yet, they haven't been chosen! I think they might be inundated at the moment.....

Two photos taken about an hour ago in Pickering's Pasture on the Transpennine Trail in Hale, Halton. There appeared to be small areas of ice floating down the Mersey towards Runcorn!! Reattached smaller photos.

Just looked at raintoday.co.uk and there seems to be a scattering of some very small snow clouds appearing across the Wirral, Cheshire and Liverpool. I don't know enough to work out if they're going to get together to form one big one but they seem to be coming out of nowhere! When I came home at 5 pm the sky did look like it was starting to cloud slightly.

Oh I do very much beg your pardon! Can you tell I'm only in here around Christmas usually....? Goodnight all!

It's warmed up to -2c now!! And yes, it is FREEZING outside!! http://www.meteogroup.co.uk/uk/home/weather/world_weather/city_weather/city/2003945/liverpool-airport.html?cityID=2003945&tx_mgcityweatherstatic_pi4%5Bp%5D=1

Backtrack, don't forget to take your fairy lights down before midnight. You don't want bad luck do you? All your snow might melt over night.....

Don't the dogs just love the snow? Ours were either eating it or rolling in it! (Or turning it yellow.... ) Our snow has gone a little harder here and some of the roads are very shiny with the ice. Grit would have no impact now...

Liverpool Airport is only recording -3c atm and doesn't expect it to go any lower.

Brilliant photos V - it's great being able to see what other areas look like in this snow! Don't know how the birds are going to get a drink though...

What a beautiful morning! The snow is still here, the sun has got his hat on, and for the first time in my life I've been given a day off because of the snow! :lol: Most of the staff couldn't get to the office because of the roads and the fact that there's no public transport yet in Liverpool so we all got the day off. Even Liverpool Airport is closed again which is very unusual. We have also had about another centimetre overnight but I'm not expecting any more now until the weekend.

That appears to be heading towards us in South Liverpool but not sure if it will have any strength/snow left by the time it gets here. Our snow from this afternoon is still coating the tree branches which is very unusual here. It normally melts quite quickly so I presume it will still be here in the morning! Ah, the end of a lovely day - sigh!

Just checked with sister in law in Chester who said she just had a few inches of snow from 3 pm to 7 pm-ish. I was then able to brag that we had LOADS of the stuff! :lol:

Lovely! Really enjoying the photos posted here!

Wow! what a day! It's years since we've had snow falling and settling like today! There must be at least 4 inches in places. It's stopped snowing here now but the sky is still orangey white and the snow has covered every branch, leaf and berry on the trees. We visited Speke Hall in the middle of it all and enjoyed the 2 hours to the max. Here are a few photos.
