[Snow boy]

Just started snowing here in Nantwich. Only small flakes so far.

[MKN]

Snow in bolton rain in accrington, going to be hit and miss in your area by the looks of it

[gearbox1002]

Well that's that then, freezing rain here, at least I can go shopping now

How is the rain,sleet and snow doing in Manchester?

[Weather-history]

Larger snow flakes are now falling.

More and more coming down blowing in the wind. Might be good news for places to the east of me if they are worried about freezing rain

[HotCuppa]

to me liverpool airport appears to be bang on the money for their forecast so far...with heavy snow expected this afternoon which would tie in with the cold front over ireland at the moment

[R.P. McMurphy]

Snow is now falling...

[ianshortall]

Freezing rain now on the coast at New Brighton and temps dropped to 0.5 and the roads are treachorous.

[trickydicky]

Snowing lightly in Longridge at -1.5.

[Backtrack]

Cold front reintroduces the colder uppers thanks to a NW'erly feed, so if the warm front doesn't provide, I'm certain the cold front will.

[Weather-Voyager]

ditto here - temps still at 0c

[WorsleySnow]

Nice fat flakes falling in Worsley now

this is very embarrassing, i mean light drizzle and a little bit of grauple, with sub zero temperatures and sub zero dp..the warm air aloft is doing a real number on us..everywhere is now wet..not to the point of puddles but if this crap keeps up it wont be long before we see them lol

[mufc]

light snow for past 10 min here in salford, no signs of rain/hail

[R.P. McMurphy]

Wind picked up too, there's a lot of snow but it's not like massive flakes, but sticking instantly due to the surface temps. Great sign for anyone east of me in Salford. Should also snow for other areas later on like Liverpool etc as the cold cuts in properly.

Plenty of puddles here.

If Manchester gets pasted and we miss out again, I will be very very angry...

I do hope you're right Hot Cuppa. I usually take your word for it but all the forecasts seem to have the snow skirting us. Still raining here but I don't think it's freezing rain... the garden just looks soggy!

[I Cumbria Marra I]

trying to snow again

[Oakwell]

still snowing, the breeze has picked up and temp has fallen slightly now at -0.6c

[James M]

Will it be snow? will it be freezing rain? my nerves can't take it! lol

[jpwild]
