You mad man

Even the roads here at sea level are coated already. Storm chasing Yes but not driving in that.

[James M]

Am I correct in saying this is not even the main band From the SE.

Just one of our members in Birmingham thinks it has not reached there yet

It is the main band, it's just arrived much earlier than predicted.

[NorthWest_Snow]

yes it is the main band, and to the east coast at hull the radar is showing sleet..i seriously doubt that must be a hiccup on the radar but things are still moving west

haha its just a wee flurry.

No I am mad I guess, then again if I had a car I probably would

[louloulou1964]

does this mean it will snow through the night..bromborough is getting battered

[geri]

Eat your heart out London the snow is sticking!!!

[snowmanatee]

Its still hammering it down here, best it's been for a couple of years at least

[Thunder Snow]

Nothing here yet, still alot of snow about though.

[M'Lady]

Huge flakes now and pretty much everything is turning white again.

[ianshortall]

Coming down heavily now in New Brighton.

who knows I am currently reading a barometer drop from 1010mb to 998mb and there is the problem over there now on the east coast, that warm sector is moving even faster than anticipated with sleep/rain thro hull and its extending quite far inland though i cant really see it effecting areas close to liverpool and north. you never know i think we will get snow off and on for the remainder of the night, coz i do think we will stay in that cold sector

Been snowing heavily in Southport for well over an hour now - visibility bad on the roads and sticking well.

[NorthWest_Snow]

what is hilarous is the bbc forecasters they still are not picking up whats actually happening..all the snow on east? which explains why it is sleet and rain extending from hull..and very heavy snow in locations around here

[SP1986]

Getting absolutely pasted now, huge flakes, settling instantly.

Must heading toward a few cm

i think you maybe getting what we are, and i think this snow is in now for a good couple of hours here in the west though i imagine it will get light at times

[Thunder Snow]

Is there any snow heading my way, because the bbc are still got the snow towards the east.

[Hywel]

Anyone with a car want to go on a snow chase to somewhere locally hilly?

Not sure about Halkyn but can imagine its pretty bad over there. Roads are impassable here unless you have a 4x4 or tractor.

[V for Very Cold]

well it's been snowing hard for the last 2 hours and now the main roads are turning white and cars are going all over the show> I wonders if the gritting teams were told tonight was not going to be as bad

[snowmanatee]

Still going heavy. this is epic, never expected it

Definately making a snowman later
