How it looking in Oldham way (anyone) - I'm about to drive back there from manchester? Mainly light snow here

[Polar Low]

Latest PPN type radar, don't take it as gospel but you get the idea.

Snow is nowhere near as widespread as predicted.

I'm not disagreeing with you that it's marginal for Western areas, BUT the NW PPN-type Radar is well known for being, well... tosh.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

one things for sure the beed have overplayed the snow for this region becasue its rain WELL inland.

As I've been saying all along, don't get your hopes up. Another nail in winters coffin if this goes t**** up.

[HotCuppa]

changed from light drizzle and grauple to freezing rain and grauple lol

[Backtrack]

Icicles over 10cms long on my wall.

Main roads are ok due to the amount of traffic not letting the snow settle, side roads now have a covering of snow. Just constant snow.

You just wait for the Greenlad high. Give it 10 days.

[chiffer]

Since when did the Amber warning cover all of the NW?

Cheers, HD - hope for something more 'snowy' later on. Still lots of precip out to the west.

Well looking at the current situation it's not a million miles away to be honest after all the reports from around the region. Not 100% accurate I agree.

[gareth73]

Slightly heavier and temp slightly falling to 1.0c. Can not see any rain turning here

[HotCuppa]

Icicles over 10cms long on my wall.

grass is also going white from the ice, got some big icicles here too. Temp still holding at -1.6C and dp -2.1C, so if this is the best this warm front can do now its over us well umm

[dry snow]

Happy days I live in Denton 1 to 2 miles from stockport and not a sign of sleet let alone rain. Still snowing and about 2-3 cm already

Jam tomorrow doesn't cut it anymore, if this turns out to be a non event, then roll on Summer.

[weather eater]

oh dear rain in stockport now it really is turning into a bit of a mare

I strongly suspect HD that unbeknown to yourself you are in fact a mild weather demi-god and you cast an aura of mildness in a 1 mile radius of your location, can you keep sending us your present location so we can avoid you.

[jam2010]

2 hours, of contstant snow in Manchester, how many more hours for us? Bout 3 cm at least here now.

[frostbitten]

Really hope so because this winter so far has been a real let down compared to the last. Normal winter service resumes, mild zonal mush with the odd cold interlude that amounts to nothing.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

metoffice have upgraded our warnings for today and tomoz

[chicken soup]

Total and utter nightmare this. RAIN IN BLACKBURN.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

they can obviously see something i can't
