Snow Watch: Nw England

[Louise]

Well fair play, it's just started snowing again, smallish flakes at the minute, getting heavier. My sister's just called from just by Mcr Airport and she says it's been heavy there the past ten mins or so.

It's such a nice change to be able to watch it during the day rather than having to lamp-post watch at night.

My little 20mth old is wondering what the heck is going on outside, lol!

Up to 8 approaching 9cm here now my god and more to come tonight.

should stay as snow here james i think the 600 to 800ft will more than leave it on the safe side of marginal.

Yeah I think so too, but watch this now it will be just our luck and it p****s down instead

The Northwest Weather At 1330 should be intresting.

Been snowing here heavily for a hour and a half constantly now and just heard word that the Snake Pass is now closed to all Motorists.

[James M]

Another heavy shower heading this way, could be interesting.

[Interitus]

Haha, still missing Warrington, awesome!

The consolation is that the GFS is hinting that the NW chances improve later and continue through the week, whereas the SE may well be milder later on.

[mcfcben]

Really heavy now in Wythenshawe, seemed to be dying out but its returned, heavier than before!

light to moderate snow, been on and off all morning, we only have a bout 2inches, but lets hope that stuff for this afternoon does a really huge dumping on all of us!

[louloulou1964]

morning everyone.Its just started snowing again.we had a good dusting last night..Does anyone know what will happen today?

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

pretty disappointing morning if i were to be honest we had one heavy shower for 10mins but pretty much nothing apart from that

why is this being ramped up for this evening? according to the gfs we'll be lucky to get sleet as that mild sector pushes in from the south east and it seems to do a pretty fast job of it or are these images wrong? http://212.100.247.145/gfsimages/gfs.20090...ctypeuktopo.png

It depends what is your benchmark!

This is my 3rd winter in Manchester and this is by far the best snow event i've had here.

And there'e more on the way!
