[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

@snow_joke that second cam u posted the flash thats what it like here

Really dark here

Looks really black over towards St Helens way-what you getting?

Heavy heavy snow lol

[annamb]

It's absolutely bucketing it down........with snow!

Will it stay as snow or is there a chance it will turn to rain?

[weatherobsuk]

This is going to cause a logistical nightmare for the MetO, Highways Agency & Councils if they haven't already put out a enforcement plan in dealing with this streamer. The last BBC Breakfast weather update still had the snow falling in central/southern parts with the NW only seeing 'flurries' as they put it. What we just went through wasn't a 'flurry' topping up 3cm now. With even more to come.

I'd be able to see the Cat & Fiddle road myself, if it wasn't for the fact visibility here is less than half a mile due to the snowfall and cloud base. But yes being so close to Shining Tor it's almost in a world of its own, many times we've just had rain/sleet at best here while the pass has been completely cut-off only 5 miles up the Goyt.

[Snow free zone]

Certainly looks like we are for a change on the right side of marginal, and the higher than normal temps in the Irish Sea are at the moment helping the showers along. More please

[Iceaxecrampon]

Huge flakes nr Blackburn - starting to ease a bit how is the set up for the rest of the morning?

[James M]

Yeah showers just going to the south of me it seems! Ah well enjoy you lot!
