Hello there! you're just two minutes away from me

No these are showers that have developed over the Irish Sea and spread inland in a streamer type scenario, we still have that to come

I was thinking the same. Didn't know if it was Glossop way, or Mossley/Hartshead pike. I've lost count of the number of times I have been up to Hartshead Pike. Walking, cycling and when I'm feeling particularly lazy, by car lol

Have got the westerly wind over here as well.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

that radar looks very impressive for a streamer forming.

there could well be a lot of rain and a lot of snow in the form of showers.

[Shaun L]

I'm from Moreton myself Shaun, only been over the 'dark side' about 7 years. And your Rovers avatar...Love it. Season ticket holder for 16 years only recently decided to abort. Still love the Superwhite Army though!

Surprised they managed to play last night. The pitch was harder than rock come the end.

[Snow free zone]

OMG i can't believe its snowing in Blackpool and raining here

[NW_Blackburn]

Heavy snow has begun to fall here. Decent size flakes too

[Spurry]

Could have something to do with this;

Online At Once Record - 1,287 - 23 minutes ago

Feb 09 record has been broken now.

WOW and i'm a part of it...phone the Guiness book of records , i want to be famous

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Well everything that has fallen here since this afternoon has been more ice than water, mainly snow showers now but very wet and slushy on the ground.

nice 1 dodge.

they seem to be rain and then turning as they hit blackburn.

no more room for manoeuvere now lets hope it stays like that!

[Bartlett Low]

Nice snow here, readily sticking to frozen surfaces

Yes, quite lucky in some respects. It's more sleety once you get West of Gtr Manchester. It's snowing further north in parts of Lancashire too.
