Looks like snowmad79 is going to get a good covering the jammy git......http://www.blogtv.com/people/snowmad79

[feb1991blizzard]

Absolute pasting here, massive flakes, the heaviest its been, no intensity issues for a while now, should be heavy for the next few hours, just marginality now that comes into it, especially for people further west.

[guvnor22002]

Maybe because the ppn is too light over those areas ?

think the above is the reason at the momment

[I'M NOT RALLY HERE]

Very heavy snow now for the last 30 mins in Hyde(east manchester)

[Liam J]

The uppers within the cold front are only about 0 to -1c, not good new for those who haven't yet had snow unfortunately especially the further west you are, Manchester eastwards seems like a good bet for snow continuing.

[HotCuppa]

Surely it stands to reason that milder uppers would be pushed across the region as the colder air moves in, which will temporarily cause rain to fall across the region, before the whole region experiences snow?

sadly the weather does not stand to reason though lol We had powder snow this morning, before we ended up with drizzle before more flakes came down, then we had nothing for a while, and again now light flakes.

[Stephen_Mcr]

Mainly snow, but I'm sure I can see rain or snizzle mixed in... maybe I'm being paranoid lol.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Heavy rain, GAME OVER

[Cheshire Freeze]

-0.6 and small ice pellets falling here

[guvnor22002]

[jam2010]

Huge flakes where I am in Manchester, cars are starting to loose traction, wonder of the city match will be called off.

[SNOW GO]

Light sleet- ice pellets now falling here in South Cheshire

Manchester/ North Cheshire seems to be getting a right pasting: Always the way I guess!

[Cheshire Freeze]

Typical warm front characteristics here, no chance of proper snow until fronts occlude

[HotCuppa]

anyway come tuesday more rain and same on wednesday for here..stroll on autumn, this winter has been absolute crud

[weatherobsuk]

Give it another hour and a half before nocturnal cooling starts taking place, remember this time of year daytime max's (even in winter there is such a thing) so that's just another added favourability for us.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Snowing in parts of the south west LOL

[Weather-history]

Still snowing here with icy pellets mixed in. A covering.

[loobiloo]

Snowing steadily in Macclesfield. Started with fine powdery snow about an hour ago, and turned to moderate/heavy snow for the past 30 mins. it's blowing around quite a bit, too.

Huge flakes where I am in Manchester, cars are starting to loose traction, wonder of the city match will be called off.

I asked this last night and it looks like their may be a good chance now.

[Liam J]

try the back end of the front

No good at the back of the front, we need them pulled forward into the main frontal area.

[guvnor22002]

when the snow goes light it deffo turns more sleety icy but i think as the after progreses it will be less marginal

[steve@aintree]

possibly not in your location, but in the south it's forecast to become quite heavy by late this afternoon..right now we have small flakes but then im not in liverpool

No, not anywhere near Liverpool. Admit it, its game over, you are kidding yourself!
