old thread here ------>

[Backtrack]

it's snowing.

[sal007]

snizzle in Preston is as 'heavy' as its been all morning. come on! pep up! pleeeeeeasee!

[Andrew Owens]

Really pleased for everyone south/west of the region who have snow and also gutted for those further north/east who haven't.

[gearbox1001]

its getting bigger flakes here I just noticed

[Backtrack]

Looks like the heavier area of PPN is starting to die back now, whether it gets fresh energy injected in again this time, I don't know.

[Andrew Owens]

For anyone looking at the netweather radar, do you think the dark pink bit will hang around the area its currently covering or do you think it will move further north?

[bridgechad]

its a non event here in the east

It's not often I'm one of the gutted ones on here and I must say its pretty damn painfull! It hurts so much more that BT is getting more accumilation in the space of a few hours than I've had the past week.

God damn weather lol

[Dale Leigh_6487]

Met office just updated warnings

[Stubbette]

Minus 2 with still continuing small flakes, moderately heavy and 3-4 cm (out of the drifts). Bushes on one side of the garden are white, green on the other. We seem to be getting the Sandbach weather about 45 mins to an hour afterwards so that suggests about 12mph using crude maths!!!

Granada weather have just said: Up to 15cm and Amber warning still in place. Most in the SW of the region with Cumbria and N Lancs only a dusting - but more for all overnight. -1 to -2 day, -2 - 4 night. Snow showers more of the day tomorrow.

[Thunder Snow]

Was getting alittle excited went very dark for abit, but te sun is back out

[Waterspout]

Well, the 11:15 radar shows the really heavy band now squeazed from a line Middlewich down through Sandbach/Crewe and down to Stoke. Still very heavy outside here, so it seems stuck here LOL! (and the recyling bin just came in a Blizzard and 3-4 inches of snow! - that would never have happened when I lived in LIverpool - LOL!

[Dale Leigh_6487]

Sorry that was thursdays

[Backtrack]

Yep, fresh energy injected again. Precip even heavier than before. Expect radar upgrades shortly.

Don't worry, you will get snow showers tomorrow in the easterly wind and then an area of snow coming from the southeast on Sunday.

[gearbox1001]

wind seems to be dying off here at the moment nowhere near as strong as it was.

[Mancunian]

I've been informed there is no snow falling at Ashton-Under-Lyne

[Brass_Monkeys]

Flakes getting bigger and coming down heavier again Temp -1c

[Backtrack]

Quick snapshot from the radar.

[chiffer]

Stokes been hit hard apparently.

[bridgechad]

there is no snow falling in ashton now! its stopped a few mins ago. it was only light but was giving a little cover.

back to the models i go to find the next chance we have!

[macc2013]

Looks like its stopped now here in Macclesfield and looks like the sun wants to come out.

[V for Very Cold]

Quick snapshot from the radar.

so close...yet so far away

[Snowmad79]

Don't worry, you will get snow showers tomorrow in the easterly wind and then an area of snow coming from the southeast on Sunday.

The easterly is the best bet because that band progged coming from the SE is going to skirt round this area by the looks of it. Crewecold's snow shield must have migrated NE this winter!
