Yup I been out in it minus the cat Amazing snowfall - seen nothing like it

If I had a dog I'd take it for a walk. I might just tie a bit of string to one of the cats - here kitty kitty.......

Aye that's so true! Every time I post lately the snow is heavier - good grief lol Edit : flakes are the size of dinner plates now.......ok not quite but bleedin big

Mate you really need to change your nickname lol Actually, quite a few Northwest members need to! What a week it's been so far, and still we are getting pelted Coming down heavy here still - great stuff! Who knows, with this change of weather-luck, next summer we might actually get lots of thunderstorms (hope against hope)

Getting heavier now, nice little top-up this is

Light snow just started here in Leyland

Drove into Preston this morning from Leyland just as that big hail shower started. What a mess the roads were. Cars sliding all over the place. Stopped at some traffic lights and the fella on the inside lane thought it would be ok to wait till the last second to brake. Slip, slide BANG! right into the side barrier rail. Luckily was only going fairly slow so no injury. Good job he didn't slide in he other direction or he would have hit me. The prawn got out of his car and he was only young so I guess not used to this sort of Winter, but still lacking common sense.... On way back to Leyland saw a couple more cars facing in odd directions.

Made it.. At least the roads had been gritted (mostly!) Congrats to us N/Westerners who have had some more - commiserations to those left out. Your time will come, plenty of Winter left :lol:

Good God! Got up and looked out to see another dumping of snow! Cleared car and it's around 3 inches or so. Not seen anything like this up this way for a long long time (mind you I only been here 6 years) Another interesting drive over to Manchester - wish me luck!

Excellent Paul Couldn't have timed it better by the looks of things...

Bloody Hell that was brilliant! What great talent Took me right back to the Eighties - always loved that song Thanks for that Beka

Thundery shower just skirted the west of my area - very dark skies. 5 rumbles of thunder so far

Lancashire & Cumbria? Hope so, would be verrry nice but after the night-time show I had I won't complain if I miss out

Ya don't see this very often

Nice vid Paul Nght-time ones are always the best, even better when it's not expected. Still flashing and banging over this way...glad we finally got to see some action. Hopefully more to come this week but for now I'm happy with what we've got!

Hi Folks Finally broked through the shield here! CC lightning started about half hour ago, increasing in intensity. Nice little show at the moment but still feeling pretty damn muggy. Glad to finally see 1st bit of lightning this year
