[guvnor22002]

Its the BBC graphics they are rubbish take no notice of the map and listen to the words she said.

if you closed your eyes and listened only. You would ramping

[HotCuppa]

yeah its slowly covering here too, but it could be better. as improved a little bit though, more surfaces starting to cover..doesn't help the snow originally ended up making the pavement and road wet........

[k19]

Snowing moderately but not sticking here in liverpool! Perhaps as the temperature drops it will start to.

[chris78]

this snow needs to get heavier..its barely sticking..

mm the cloud is so thin here I can see Jupiter through it.....still there is a wee bit of snow from it.

still snowing here now its about 3 hours since it started falling.

[Rnewbs]

Still snowing here, quite big flakes now too and it's sticking nicely!

[R.P. McMurphy]

like to see it edge a bit further westwards, the stuff we got is not so great..mind you the second band that's incoming looks interesting...how long is that front going to stall and what will happen to this second front? there could be significant snow fall totals everywhere

Hola HC - I expect this above us now will beef up, stalled as it has, an possibly pivot around - it should stay around and join the other band. 12z is excellent, it has the LP system further north Into Ireland giving bigger snowfalls for Friday, everything moved a bit East too.

Happy Days

[barkie]

Surprised Southport isn't getting any.

Been sleeting here in Litherland for about an hour now which is spot on according to the NW radar, I really hope this doesn't continue when the main band hits tomorrow.

She must have forgotten to take her meds!

[chiffer]

Yeh diannes waiting for schools to get snowed in so she can eat children, this might be her only chance!

[Thunder Snow]

The main band seems very patchy?

[greybing]

Still bone dry here despite snow falling ,albeit light,bloody annoying.

i just checked your dew point....its almost 1C , and your temp is climbing, your dp needs to drop

[dodge]

wow it's gone from one or two isolated falling flakes, to a little more pronounced now. Sticking with ease to anything it falls on

Christ ,can you imagine what Dianne Oxberry would think were she to take a gander on here...poor lass.

[wysiwyg]

The main band seems very patchy?

It's not really being influenced by the cold block yet - give it another 8-12 hours and it will be slammed against the cold block, the warm air will be rising rapidly over the cold air and the vapour currently in there will rapidly condense out and fall through the cold air readily turning to snow

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

What my dp hc

[jam2010]

I know I'm asking for air but its not very heavy here in manchester but steady.

[Stephen_Mcr]

Manchester seeing light snow, nothing sticking though.

As it stands it's not looking too good for tomorrow here at all from the latest models.

[frankie01]

not sticking in south liverpool. to be honest im not sure what to expect, im new to all this, id settle for a coveing, better than nothing.more sleety i think though not checked, trying not to curtain twitch just yet..

[luvsnow]

Snowing in Bolton and sticking.
