Wish they would start saying that the North West is being affected, im sick of hearing its a North-Eastern event. Met Office have apparently put out an Extreme weather event warning. I must admit its pepped up here somewhat. Would anybody care to join me on the veranda for a cup of Yorkshire Tea? :D

lol great pics, there was a news crew for the national news up on the moors earlier but I think that was it.

Thanks Louise, hope your snow doesnt turn to rain anytime soon :D .................

Its hard to say, my temperature was rising quite fast before but for the last hour it has held at 0.3c. Becuase its held steady i'm hoping thats all the effect the mild sector has on us around here. Lately the snow has turned back to more of the dry type so hopefully i'm right and it might stay as snow. 5 inches? you've done well there mate B)

It may all be over now. 6 inches on the grass, 4 on paths, Rising again, now 0.8c, Mind you it was snowing at 2c before in the afternoon so theres no reason why it should rain at all.

Hahaa no need to tell me twice, I can bet any money the bosses will "make it into work" and will be very happy to hear my voice on the phone saying Snowed in under 1 ft drifts :D .

We had a bloke phone in last night who was snowed in with 2cm of snow, god help him tonight lol

18cm so far but it's dying down now, temp creeping up slowly 0.4°C, I'm hoping the colder air will be quick to catch up behind the warm sector otherwise it might turn to rain.

Well ther should be colder 850's but I don't whether that would translate to colder at the surface for your location, having said that if you get any clear skies it will drop and refreeze any snow.

Yes its still marginal but im hoping the precip dies down now james we have about 14 cm here and more in the drifts.The temps should drop overnight as the skies clear and i reckon only a partial thaw tomorrow and then watch the minima plunge tomorrow night,i reckon if the skies stay clear it could be -4 or -5.

On to wed temps struggling here to get much above 1 degree so any thaw will be very slow and again another cold night wed with temps down to -5.

Thur/Fri could see more snow coming down from the North in an Artic airstream.

In summery we need to tonight out of the way and then it will be crisp cold winter sunshine with i would imagine some stunning sights.

looking at the meteox ppn radar it shows the band of precip over us thining out about now but then starting to build up again just to our east at 22.30 so with any luck well see some of that through the night.

Flakes are starting to get bigger again here :D

Not much left in Chorlton, south Manchester now, most of what was on the lawn has melted, still some on roofs. Nothing falling now either.

temperature dropping back again no it seems, refreezing on the car outside. Hopefully the mild sector is on it's way elsewhere

Has the mild sector passed?
