Whereabouts are you in Liverpool, snowmanatee??

Here's hoping that the boys from the Met are wrong eh! Still snowing in Liverpool, settling readily. Moderate snow, with about 3-4 cms on grass (all grass rapidly disappearing) and about 3 cms on walkways. Roads had a thaw again before, but the temperature appears to have taken a slight drop, as the roads started to accumulate,(edges first, but showing definite signs of whitening.)

Edit* Snow once again intensifying.

Really? lucky so and so, that twice in the last four years Wavertree has had deeper snow than Heswall in an easterly snow event despite Heswall being much higher up

steve its just pelting it down here, very much the same as hail seizer..got quite a covering on the grass, pavement white roads almost white again after previous melt

take a look at the nw radar a very intense and still intensifying band to our east moving straight towards us to the west that could produce something interesting..we havent seen anything as intensive as that here.

Good luck Stephen. I'm new to the site, I lived on the Wirral for 35 years, till 2002. Moreton never really saw much in the way of snow, but am off over again tonight, working.

I played golf at Heswall golf course only a couple of months back..A lovely place, both the course, and the surrounding areas.

Well we got maybe about 1cm overnight here - and it had mostly thawed as the day wore on. Showers on and off this afternoon. Now snowing for about half an hour and beginning to settle a little again. Please let it keep coming!

Amazing the difference from one part of the city to the next... I wonder how Childwall is getting on.

Our snow flurry has turned into a snow shower and it looks as though it's trying to stick. I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up!

[hay194]

Small snow flurry in blackpool , but the clouds do look a bit thicker now.

[Chris D]

Moderate snow here in Southport!

It is on grass and cars etc. but the roads an pavements are pretty wet so it's taking it's time

Had more than i expected we would today though so I'm happy, who knows there's the slight possibility we might get more

Went through Childwall just before and it looked much the same as it is here, still a bit wet. It is starting to stick now though

[seasider]

Just started thumping down with snow at Norbreck, not sticking yet, but ground dry and if keeps coming at this rate will deffo get a covering. :lol:

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Has slowed down a bit here but i think things maybe starting to intensify again where james? :lol:

[NorthWest_Snow]

Childwall will be getting pasted I imagine. Drunk snowball fights on the Hope Park campus without doubt!

In 2005 I went to uni on the bus and it was clear and sunny when I left Heswall, it started snowing in Prenton, but the ground was wet and it was melting on the pavements. Also in Liverpool CC it was wet with some wet snow. However once I got to Wavertree it was heavy snow with a dusting on the ground, and there must have been about 2cm in Childwall.

Snow showers carried on all day at the campus, then I thought this is going to be awesome in Heswall being higher up.

Instead what happened? It was raining when I got home :lol:

I'm here lol, if it keeps travelling westwards then it will slowly die down, I'm hoping at this point though it starts to travel more northwards as there's more heavy precip is to the south.

Sticking to wheelie bins and decking. Keep going ! :lol:

[snowmanatee]

I thought Liverpool would see nothing you know, I guess it's not much compared to the rest of the country but it is snow so it =
