'near future'! Far end of fi on one run.

Edging a bit nasty in here I think, gone a bit worse than banter. Put a sock in it. If you can say such a thing... It is nearly snowing here if everyone would turn off their central hearing we may get there. Or even central heating !

Cold drizzle in Macclesfield, wouldn't be surprised if it snowed in the next few hours

I am forecasting a snow event for me here, I am not making a model forecast I an making this because I have been working outside today as I always do and said when I came in I felt like there was some snow on the way. We also have a covering of snow and drifts that needs to be taken away by another fall. Not been on here for a few days so thought I'd have a look to see if there was anything backing for my hunch! I reckon my thoughts are about as accurate as the models at this time scale the way they keep changing

I love that chart, whoever he is he must have put some effor into finding the perfect channel low. If only

1988 pretty dire from what I remember, think 1997 was pretty forgettable. February 1986 was very good I have some photos of the snow somewhere although I think the snowline may have been above Macclesfield somewhere towards Tegg's Nose

7 inches this morning but blown around a lot compacted slightly and wetter than last night. 2 foot drifts on roads out of Macclesfield seemed like we got a direct hit of the heavy stuff last night certainly 5 inches in the town centre last night and drifts in the main streets

Thick fog no dripping as yet but think the snow has gone wetter with the higher dew point. 4th. Day this winter with complete snow cover. Will get some coffee and go and try and rescue my car in. bit.

Yeah accept that!

I'm sorry but that is just wrong. All my deepest snow has come from an easterly and not rogue flurries. I am talking of snow depths upwards of 8 inches which apart from the last two years and the comd zonal years in the eighties have all come from easterlies normally from channel lows or troughs forming over the Pennines or even showers travelling across the country

Hard to measure depth because it has drifted considerably but 6 - 8 inches on my lawn with an 18 inch drift across my drive. Had to leave my car due to sliding and large drifts blowing off the fields. I think a pretty good event, shame it won't last for long here

In retrospect my land rover works better than my Citroen c3 in deep snow I just wanted the warmth of the car. Anyway someone told me it was a non event so I didn't worry!

Apart from me that has to go and dig my car out! Should have taken the landrover

Just had to leave my car and walk never had to do that before, possibly 8 inches of snow and drifts of a couple of feet minimum on road out of Macclesfield currently -2 and still snowing but slightly lighter now. Will have to go and get my car on the morning and hope no one sees me!

I love Macclesfield still heavy snow falling roads treacherous 4 inches bug lots of drifting that was half an hour ago much heavier now

Maybe the northwest thread should be split! As half are crying in the rain and half are making a snowman

The problem is you have done a regional map ignoring that some areas already have more snow than you mention and pasted it in the national thread

Still gotta lotta snow coming down here. Shame freezing rain sounds kind of fun. Think I said the other day Manchester would be the dividing line, especially with a little height.

Heavy snow around east Cheshire now would think the cat and fiddle will have problems shortly, there has been snow up there for seven days

Think it has just hit heavy traffic on the ring road towards the Trafford centre will soon start moving

No! Just not that stupid? I think a few people might need a few antidotes if their rain doesn't turn to snow

Not completely true. Freezing rain is not normal rain hitting frozen ground it is supercooled below freezing and solidifys when hitting objects doesn't it? Hence so rare

About a mile away from the Airport 20 minutes ago and it was starting to snow

I think a bigger worry is not whether we shall have snow on Saturday but the high projected temps for Sunday which will lead to a miserable thawing wet day, I wish some colder uppers would push back into the region
