Hammering down with snow...another direct hit for South Manchester!

Great cold spell!

And gfs 06z brings an Artic Northerly to end the year.

[Darren Bown]

It's worrying how bad the snow is today.

This is crazy stuff! I can hardly see the buildings opposite me (about 70metres from here)!

This isn't good now, there's got to be about 6 inches on the ground and it's resetted over the ice on the side roads and resettling on the roads normally.

^{Salford Quays is in a snow cloud, makes the view out of the window rather more interesting than work...}

[Snow free zone]

Chucking it down again here. My dad has confirmed that this is Preston's largest accumulation of snow since the late 40's

[Bartlett Low]

Heaviest snow of the cold spell here, really thick

[LiverBird]

Runcorn and Widnes got 2" for a time, but it wasn't snow - It was hail and grauple.

Sorry Backtrack, my colleague insists it was light and fluffy snow she wiped off her car this morning in Widnes!

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Because I fear for you that Runcorn is the new Carlisle.

The temperature's dropping here as the skies clear. Currently -0.9C and absolutely wonderful.

[snowingtequila]

Just in the edge of the snow, just need it to move a few miles south!

[Weather-history]

Had a snow covering at 9am on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday now Tuesday and again likely tomorrow. Longest consecutive run since winter 2001-2002

[karyo]

Haviest snowfall of this cold spell today!

Amazing and I can't imagine how the cars are dealing with this on the roads right now!

The forecasts for the northwest have been laughable! It makes it worthwhile being able to access the models and check for yourself!

Had a very heavy snow shower a sec ago, left a dusting again, they just aren't lasting long enough.

Snowing again very heavy now as I type!!!!

[SP1986]

Just looking at the traffic cams, some really quite deep snow around Rochdale/Oldham. Central Manchester looks very nice in the snow. Also around Orrel, and Ormskirk is snowed under pretty deep.

My colleague is someone I don't contradict very often Backtrack so I just typed as I was told!!!! (She didn't know what graupel was....)

We're still getting small snow showers here by the airport and they seem to be heading your way so good luck!
