Downbeat

[SparkleS]

ah yes it would melt ...duuuurrrrr.

Desperate times and all that..

[Munchermark]

Just seen the updated forecast on the bbc website. Rain for all of NW apart from the hills, thats me done for the night at least this cold spell is going to stay for the rest of the week... fingers crossed

[Brass_Monkeys]

Very light snow still falling giving a patchy dusting on all surfaces except the roads - hoping for something a little heavier towards the back edge. Still nice to have seen snow falling and sticking eventually!

No snow,but rain later according to the forecast

Us in Cheshire seemto be going through the lightest, crappiest bits of precipitation.There's just nothing to this band here

[Stephen_Mcr]

Light to steady snow here, not sticking. Not sure if any rain mixed in.

[The Northern Ramper]

Well the band looks like clearing most places over the next couple of hours....so what next? There was meant to be precipitation about until after midnight with this first band but it's come in much faster and weaker than thought.

Is it me or is it dropping sse now?

[iand61]

Still snowing lightly here in Bacup although the flakes are slightly bigger than the talcum powder we have had so far.

We have got a covering but so small that you couldn't even attempt to measure it, probably a couple of millimetres at best.

It,s a bit ironic that after enduring over 1900mm of rain in 2012, a record in these parts the one time we want heavy stuff to fall we get the white equivalent of a heavy dew.

nope the snow shield is working well,even snowing in parts of wales.who were meant to be either dry or wet

[pip22]

I just heard some cars skidding on the road in the snow. It must be black ice is forming.

[TomL]

Big flakes now, like feathers, proper snow! A few hours of this please!!

....there is nothing to the band anywhere.....and as for the second band tonight....allI can see on the radar is those few showers leaving Ireland...thats not going to lead to much (although they are pepping up).....that leaves us waiting until tomorrow at the earliest..and tomorrow has always been forecast as too marginal (for me anyway)...still models are saying yes to more cod.......

[Cheshire Freeze]

It better had be!

Lol it is quite heavy here and sticking on bins and car windscreens, just need it heavier now, so what you get weve been getting, bring it on!
