Some heavy dark clouds passed a few miles south of Oldham, Manchester area probably got it, I'm quite high up so I can see in the direction of Manchester Airport and Jodrell Bank, and there was at least a downpour albeit only 5 mins worth I think.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Heavy snow shower in Lancaster driven on by gales, although none of it settled.

We'll have to see if it settles overnight as the really cold air comes in!

Lancaster may be nearer the coast, but it's further north, higher up and to the east of a comparitively sheltered bay as opposed to the Irish Sea itself. Indeed the mean winter maximum temperature here is lower than at Manchester, although mean minima are about the same. Also bear in mind that the cold air is always going to reach here before it reaches Manchester.

Very dark cloud, containing SNOW, moving in from the west. 4C.

The 4pm radar's showing some pretty beefy showers skirting down the Western Fringes of the North West, should be hitting Lancaster by now
