Quite a few streamers setting up over to the east which may give anyone lucky enough to be under them a decent dumping this evening.
thats providing they make it over here of course.

The snow is so heavy that it looks like thick fog outside the window, no visibility at all!
Yeah it’s nice to get in on the action.

The yellowbit yes, but the rest is hitting me and they've been decent so far.
I’m not greedy mate, enjoy it.

That’s got Bacup’s name on it.

Decent depth of snow here now, probably around 5-6 inches from a good number of showers during the day.
yesterday was disappointing IMBY but today has pulled it round again and it’s been snowing hard for the last hour.
just hope the showers intensifying across the east reach here.

Just measured snow on bins/car with my hand.... 7-8 inches (comes upto my wrist) where drifted 11-12 inches.... snow really whipping off house roof/ around corners....
A couple of inches of level snow here and as everything has either gone north or south of me overnight, little top since I went to bed.
not a breath of wind and other than it being -7c it’s a lovely early morning.
and i’m only 30 miles north of you...........not jealous really.

Heavy snow here but it’s looking like just a short lived rougue shower with normal service of starry skies soon returning.

Is it me or has the mad thread been obsessed with the south coast for the last 4 or 5 days ?
What's so important about the South coast ?
They’ve been obsessed with everything southern throughout the 10 years i’ve been a member on Netweather.

Compared to others it’s been a poor day here for snow with showers to our south and north and a gap between them pretty much throughout
bad this morning but more to do with bad driving and a lack of gritting than than the bit of snow that fell.
-
BBC forecast shows plenty of snow showers crossing the region today and tomorrow, just hope it comes off.
Friday’s low, it showed the snow reaching the southern parts of the region but ended there although hopefully it was just the point where the graphics ended rather than it’s northern extent.
meanwhile it’s still snowing lightly here and very slowly adding to the inch or so I already have.
-
Another large shower looks to be heading into the region from North Yorkshire at the moment.
-
its good to see most of the region joining in the fun as just shows how the final location is so difficult to pin down.
here with had about 3cm so far and it’s still falling lightly.

No stopping it now, we are getting buried!
That’ll do nicely, it looks like it’s touch and go though whether Moki is inside or outside of the top line.
as they wouldn’t say in the Mod Thread, you need a slight northerly correction.

Yes things appear to be upgrading last minute.
Get your red crayon out again and point it in our direction and then draw a bloody big wall to either side of it.

Looking at the radar, the first area of snow in the North Sea is intensifying as it approaches the NE coast.
whether it fizzles again over land remains to be seen but it’s current track along with big Bertha following behind looks to be heading our way.

The "SNOW STARVED south east" are doing alright
If it gets busy they might have to open another regional thread.........oh wait.

Just wondering with the apps upgrading to heavy snow whether this low has shifted track slightly, more of a direct hit instead of a glancing blow. It looks to be coming in slightly further North which is good. It wouldn't take much of a shift to produce heavier snow for the majority of us. The models diverge between the red and black lines, obviously the red line would be better for all on a SW trajectory.
That red line goes right over my house.
knowing my luck it will act as a 20 mile wide roof and keep me bone dry.

I'm new to this forum but are the majority of people in the model discussion situated in the South? As i seem to notice a lot of people saying the outlook is bad, but its half decent for the north, regarding my interests?
Yeh the model thread is for the use of our southern friends only.
northerners can enter but at your peril and certainly don’t post anything that may raise our prospects at the expense of theirs.

Still snowing lightly and the forecast hints at more throughout the day so hopefully a covering for many of us before tonight.

BBC news forecast gust now showed Tuesdays snow crossing more of the region than it did yesterday.

Full blizzard conditions in Bacup at the moment.
i’m not sure how much more snow has fallen overnight as it’s just blowing into drifts but it’s certainly the best effort since March 2013 with the added bonus of much colder temperatures.
could be an interesting journey down the valley to work.
