Light snow here in Sale

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

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

its knife edge really mate im not sure either but we are waaayyy inland and have decent altitude which will help no doubt.

will it be enough tho?

You will be fine BT... Wait till around 3-6PM when the cold has undercut your area properly.

[Weather-history]

Larger snow flakes are now falling.

Looks very dry the snow, like confetti in the wind. Already sticking.

I was thinking around 3pm onwards too. Colder uppers from the NW.

If the mancs are getting snow I'm 1000% certain Ashton and Oldham will.

Hmm we'll have to wait and see. If we do get freezing rain though, it'll be lethal! never seen it before, hopefully there won't be many accidents.

[HotCuppa]

i think ill miss the wigan v everton game, could be pretty bad here later on, and perhaps over wigan too..just have to watch it online i guess

[sal007]

Raining in Preston.

[Oakwell]

I would guess that oldham / saddleworth would see snow rather than rain, afterall here in blackrod we are only about 120m above sea level and are seeing snow.

[UV-RAY]

Very strange, bits and pieces of rain here, and the not the freezing kind. Temp around -1.9c, and we well over 20 miles from the coast.

[Liam J]

Temp rising here 1.9c now, rain still falling. The 850 temps aren't meant fall much lower than they are now which is about -2/-3c, might touch -4c but thats it.

[harrythefish]

A few very fine flakes blowing around in the wind, nothing more than that yet.

No rain, though.

[weatherobsuk]

I might have to pop out in a bit as i've never seen freezing rain before (assuming the convective shower from the Irish Sea lasts it's journey across the Cheshire Plain) so if i'm gone for a while you know where I am lol. Hopefully with snaps to bring back before the main snow event later on.

[HotCuppa]

pretty horrific upper air profile for us at the moment

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Hmm we'll have to wait and see. If we do get freezing rain though, it'll be lethal! never seen it before, hopefully there won't be many accidents.

I had freezing rain on 9th Dec 2010, was lethal, reports of people falling over, I fell on my @rse as well, by Stafford cinema

[Boarder]

And so it begins. Light flakes falling in altrincham

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Been raining is st helens town for an hour now dunno what like imby

[Weather-Voyager]

Still light drizzle, temps starting to fall now -0.2 from a high of +0.2..
