Louise Lear on News 24 has snow over the NW this afternoon on her forecast , with Wigan sitting well within the area of Snow...so maybe things are set to get interesting this afternoon

Well just looked on met office and it's sayin heavy snow now until 6pm for me.... But all were getting is rain and lots of it

[Snowmad79]

We need that heavy ppn to hurry up! Roads up here are covered and just about drivable but the snow is a little grainy and wet at time. Higher intensity is needed or the accumilation will be slow. 2cm deep roughly

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

still snowing moderately here with a decent covering on all surfaces but even this far east from the coast and with 650ft alt its still becoming marginal.

Dont know what to think now.

[HotCuppa]

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.

Liverpool airport going for heavy snow and then later tonight further snow, i think now after this morning thats being a bit OTT from them..i just cannot see where this colder upper air is coming from, this far west as liam says...more like rain...and that warning needs changing especially the part about ice...needs merseyside and west cheshire removed from it..

I was just thinking the same pal, need more heavy snow!

[swainclubber]

big juicy flakes for the last half hour now. good old coating now B-)

[Oakwell]

Snow stiil falling relatively hard , temp steady at -1.3C

[HotCuppa]

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

actually its the airport who issue the forecast..looks to me like rain..cant see anything changing..mind you i was surprised by the airport's over confidence of heavy snow, still can happen but unlikely

[HotCuppa]

its like we are stuck in late autumn here, seems to me there has been no winter here at all..big deal a few frost nights and normal average day time temps for feb lol

[gareth73]

Snow now lighter here in Worsley west manchester

[UV-RAY]

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

Yes, but will it occlude over the NW. Answer, probably not.

Despite some hvy precip already across N Eng heaviest snow is likely near 6pm in association with the 'triple point'pic.twitter.com/2E70jcCG

Can someone with superior knowledge divulge on the above... sounds very very interesting ......

[frostbitten]

Think it's gameover for merseyside just to far west

[weather eater]

NW manchester

[Liam J]

Latest radar and T850 data. Lot's of rain to come folks! Or snow for the lucky people that live towards the east of the region.

Cold front has caught the warm front up now. I think the models have underestimated the warm front and milder sector.

The triple point is the intersection of the cold, warm, and occluded fronts

[Snowmad79]

RAMP RAMP RAMP .. MAtt Hugo again: FYI the triple point is where the warm, cold and occluded fronts meet. By 1800Z that's across Cumbria/Lancs.

Sounds awesome, isn't that way futher west that we thought is was ? meaning more snow for the NW ? surely those with freezing rain etc now should get someing better later ?

Oh good!

[Mountain Snow]

Very light snow blowing around in the wind here, has been for the past couple of hours.

Temp 0.2c dew point -4c.

Looking at the radar im in a bit of a rain shadow from the fells, looking good south manchester/ north cheshire though!
