Light covering of graupel/ snow grains this am. Currently overcast temp 0oC
-
light to moderate snow falling here at present, temp 1oC & its sticking to roads & grass. Expecting it to be a whiteout if this continues for a few hours ;o)
-
So it begins! Moderate snow setting in now, ground turning white & temp fallen to 1oC....looking promising for a good few cm & just in time for the rush hour! Also had covering of snow yesterday evening on back edge of rain belt
-
1st snowflakes falling here now.......temp dipped to 1.3oC, so looking promising for later when the heavier stuff moves in ;o)
-
Had some snowfall last night on back edge of rainbelt, gave a slight dusting of snow which is still clinging onto grassy surfaces at present. Was colder than I expected last night (-3.8oC when I went to bed) Still pretty cold, but temp has risen to 1.7oC at present. Hope it stays cold enough for snow, that band of precipitation seems pretty heavy on met office radar & slow moving.....i'll keep you posted
-
Very heavy snow overnight & this afternoon and still continuing now with blizzard conditions.
Total whiteout at the moment. Some pics from earlier this pm
-
Had over a foot of snow (almost a thigh to be precise, lol) & its blizarding now & quite
intense still, which wasnt forecast. Just been out and taken some pics a few hrs ago, so its
worse now

Hi,
Those photos look awesome storm animal! Just browsing other threads, it's raining in Portsmouth so thought I'd check out the snowy regions! Enjoy and take care
Thanks, I dont know where this is coming from but its sooooo intense now its totally unforcast
& shocking me how much is building up!
-
Wow, what a day. Still snowing & heaviest its been all day really. Im shocked its still going,
but its absolutely pelting it down and some serious drifting in places too. Glad to see so many folks got snow, like in Liverpool & Manchester got a few inches and made headlines, most impresive. Heres a few ive
just taken, hope you enjoy
-
Sweet pics. Can you actually get out of your house up there, Storm? lol
Not chancing it by car, theres plenty of yuppies flying around on quad bikes! lol. Im going for
a walk shortly, so try & take some more of the hills above Oldham
-
Wind has picked up here causing blizzard like conditions. Hope it continues for a while longer
Just taken a few more pics
-
Still snowing here, that band of snow thats been stuck for hours appears to be heading South.
Why is the South of England stealing our thunder already when its not even snowing yet. Cant
understand these "extreme" warnings of a foot of snow down South, when we've had more than that
here! TV tomorrow will be intolerable coz it will be non stop coverage on all news channels &
god help us if it reaches London
-
Hi, my first ever post!! Well I attempted a crazy journey to Lymm this morning and turned back...no weather for a rear wheel drive BMW!! Just started to snow here in Litherland....although we need it because it's been rubbish...im guessing we are too close to the river??? Great site guys and very imformative posts...well done.
Welcome to Netweather! Glad to report moderate snow falling again now after what seems like an
age! Temp is currently -0.4oC. Many people out with tractors digging out n stuff, dont think
many have attempted going to work
-
Over a foot of snow up on the higher hills of South Pennines/ Peak District (level cover, not
including drifts) Few inches in Manchester City Centre. Just taken some pics from my kitchen,
but its worse in real life, getting upto calf/knee level when your out walking in it
-
VERY VERY VERY light snow atm.
Well I gues its slightly better than VERY VERY VERY VERY light snow
-
Still holding out for another heavy burst of snow, but just a few dribs & drabs over past few
hours. Just taken a few pics out over the back fields from the comfort of the kitchen. Its
bin collection day here, but as you can see, they aint been emptied, darn Oldham Council!!
-
Hmmm, not much snow falling recently, yet the radar shows plenty of it. Hope it comes soon,
getting impatient! lol
-
Snow report coming up live from Mancs on Sky news, take a butchers. I cant believe there are
inches of snow in the city centre, its very rare
-
Oh best snow coverage is on Sky News, just seen Manchester city centre reporter and it looks as bad as ive ever seen it in the city!! He also said they have tried to get to do a report from Oldham, but couldnt get
there! Apparently the chief of gritting in Oldham has said that the Saddleworth area is a no
go area & possibly worse conditions for 25 yrs. Id say theres a least a foot of snow here, and
thats not just due to drifting as is sometimes the case
-
Been fairly quiet here for best part of an hour due to a large gap between the 2 snow bands
but there are signs that the 2nd batch is about to hit soon. My friend has walked to
Manchester!! There appears to be no buses & I called for a taxi, who told me to forget it!
-
The two bands are now merging!
, The Day after tomorrow here we come! LOL, maybe the Mayens got it wrong it wasnt 2012, it was infact 2010!!!!!
-
Appears like there is a brief gap between 2 bands of snow. I dread to think what the roads will be like
shortly, in the rush hour. Heard that the snow is ankle deep in Manchester City Centre, so god help us all! lol
-
Been up for an hour & some really heavy snow falling. Thick covering on main A62, just about passab
-
Snow started again approx 5mins ago & quite moderate too! Yet more snow to clear off the car coz I got work later Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
, The Day after tomorrow here we come!

Approx 5cm of snow overnight which followed on from heavy rain about 1am, flakes were pretty large & began to stick to the ground, which was pretty saturated, so not bad going.
