It won't be as noticeable this time because it will be overnight but this is what I expect to happen....
Front making rapid progress before slowing down over staffs/Cheshire.
Large accumulations in areas to the south and south west of manchester.
Front then on making painstaking progress north/north east. Precipation light in nature and accumulations meagre.
Precipitation then intensifying all areas north and east of manchester.
Possible pivot of front with certain areas receiving continuous heavy snow, centre point of pivot hardly any cover.
