Snow Watch: North West England

[M'Lady]

We've had snow here for about an hour. It got quite heavy at times, but didn't stick, and it seems to be tailing off now.

Temperature has fallen from 4.1ºc to 1.8ºc.

Snowing here now and getting heavier. Settling on the cars and topping up existing couple of inches still lying from earlier in week.

I'm very nearly in the North West, light snow now falling ..... I'm not bothered if we don't get much more snow now, we have had 1 foot.

Just as i was losing hope, Light snow starting to fall. Maybe its not all over just yet

[Hot*Snow]

Oh no i am deffo getting the feeling this has been a bit overhyped.

As james said we really could have done with this during the night or early morning.

I now expect it to change to rain though the evening.

Another let down beckons for the NW.

Whilst many people across the country will be taking about how this winter provided some major, significant snowfalls. For the majority of people here in the north-west it will be another winter of false hope, near misses and limited amounts of snowfall. How the hell parts of the south have experienced inches upon inches of the stuff and weve had next to nowt totally baffles me. This was our one hope - and we've been let down again.

I've got two feet, just no snow to put them in

[NW_Blackburn]

Also sticking. Maybe its going to prove us wrong?

[Solar Cycles]

Light snow here now, nothing out of the ordinary, and to be honest I aint expecting much now. Can't wait to watch the media reporting from around the country come Tuesday morning, telling all us North Westerners how bad it is with snow!

[Snow free zone]

Also sticking. Maybe its going to prove us wrong?

Rain and sleet here in Preston - yet another non event in this part of the country. What do we need to get snow here ?

[Spurry]

Gone back to light sleet........i can't wait for spring..i have now officially given up on this winter

[NW_Blackburn]

About 20mins ago i could see pendle hill from my window as per usual. Now cant see it at all? Maybe were in for a suprise?

[sal007]

[Acupuncturist]

Sleety rain here im afraid

[James M]

Starting to snow again, not sticking yet but it's only light so far.

Same here. A band of signifcant snow is set to affect the south and midlands again tomorrow - we will miss out.

[Snow free zone]

I am afraid ive given up here to. Now we have heavy rain.

[Yeti]

Parents are in Oldham at the moment. Some heavy precip right over them but I've just checked the webcam. The ground is wet and dotted with white - I'm not sure if it's snow or chewing gum. Knowing the town quite well, I suspect it's the latter.

[Penrith Snow]

I share your pain <_<

Light snow here but the front is fragmenting quickly so looks like another disappointment.

I am not going to watch TV in next 48 hours because I just couldnt stand hours of 'blizzard reports from around the UK' apart from the North West of course.

Today should have been a sure bet for us with an active front coming in from the west, if it was mild this front would bring 30mm of rain but because its cold enough for snow its dying on its feet <_<

Please cheer up. Ylou'll turn my snow to rain if you stay so gloomy

[dodge]

I think the precipitation is too light and the band seems to be fallling apart at the seams and breaking up, so although it could be could enough for snow right now, I expect this will fizzle out soon. Off to watch the football lol

[snowdrifter]

Changed my signature on the basis of today. Would love to have reason to change again. I can't believe some of you guys further inland/higher up haven't had anything decent either.

[geri]

just started snowing again!!! Am i right in thinking theres another belt of snow for us later tonight or is this just wishfull thinking?

[Hot*Snow]

A brief period of feeble light snow that melted upon impact with the ground has now turned to drizzle.

Hpwever it looks like some other parts of the nw are recieving some heavier ppn, mostly areas over high ground.
