Nope we have very light snow still, tho it is dying back.

How can it snow like that then rain?! IT MAKES NO SENSE!

Bloody hell, you need to calm down a bit Backtrack, I'm not sure Ive heard anyone so animated because it's not snowing! Whats the use of getting angry about it, you'll see many more snowfalls in your life time.

Extremely light snow has just begun here. Nice size flakes too.

That will be what I just experienced, you are a few minutes north of me so will have a delay, it is going to get much heavier very soon up there.

A few centimetres has built up already on the ploughed roads.

Everything over the merseyside side is of snow...and here was me hating that damned estuary for always ruining snow chances lol

I do hope you're right about the next wave being snowy as well. It all look beautiful here. Must have had well over an inch in an hour on top of the rock hard ice from yesterday and the day before. I'll try to attach a photo....

Dying off here now.

Can I just say this has been a belter of a cold spell here in South Manchester, just 3 ot 4 miles from the City Centre "heat island" - plenty of lying snow. Snowed Thursday, Saturday (flowed by sleet & rain), heavy snow Sunday, heavy snow Tuesday and then again tonight!

Your just outside the cold zone imo (Cold zone seems to be at its southern extent as far as the mersey northwards, getting colder as you move north). You said you had above freezing days and that you had light rain before it started snowing. You should see that colder air reach you sometime tomorrow I think and those showers arent going to let up.

just because it's really annoying, this is a VERY rare event for my area, it's quite rare i see snow like that.

Hopefully it will not melt the snow, i want it to hurry and clear up to allow the temps to drop back into the minuses ready for the next batch of showers. :)

Correct a nice moderate snowfall has begun. Its taken its time but its finally here. Should hopefully top up the good accumulations on the ground already!

BBC Forecast has us down for snow at 3am, 6am and 9am :)

Good chance of that happening?

EDIT: Getting heavy now! :)

This fall of snow had made it just about an average winter in terms of snowiness, as usually here we get one decent fall every year, although decent in my mind is not so decent in some elses. Not complaining though 1cm is more than I was expecting!

Temperatures starting to rise now.

Yes, a brilliant cold and snowy spell for sure!

The band is moving northwards now so I hope for some clearance to allow the temperature to fall.

Optimistic I think, though I suppose individual showers forming during that time is possible as warmer air from nearby southern regions tries to sneak in and condenses.
