Well it hasn't stopped snowing in stoke since 4:30 last night . We have had about 2 hours of light snow . Will that precipitation in Wales reach stoke

[GazinBurnley]

What are the chances of the band of heavier ppn over n wales making it into the north west, just kind of sat there for the last hour?.

Not likely at all,everything moving west now and sinking south,south cheshire still might get some but north of that just light snow!!

[dodge]

Maybe some intensification going on further southern parts..... now come on dammit get your heels going and move north lol

[Darren Bown]

The best chance of anything is looking to the SE tracking NW?

[SparkleS]

I can see an orangy sky heading this way from the north, preston way, temp currently 1.6

[UV-RAY]

This ties in with the ECM. Will stop you guys in the north & east moaning at least!

We're North Westerners BT, moaning is what we do best.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Strange, after a stray up to 0.4C about 20 mins ago, we're back below freezing

Possibility from monday onwards,new low likely to form over france and head up the east coast,atm mostly an eastern event,but lets see if it will move west and north,watching and waiting game!!

[SparkleS]

Sparkle. Are you West of Leyland or between Leyland and Preston. Just shows how localised this is - next to nothing in Preston yet you and WYSIWYG both have had snow for a reasonable time under 10 miles from me too.

Im west, south ribble

[dodge]

Ohno the pivot-epicentre is Greater Manchester - everything is going to go round us.

[Oakwell]

Snow drifted here and the penguins look happy ...... not surprised they are in the warm

[Snowmad79]

It was fizzling on the northern edge but as whole the front is now seemingly pushing northwards much better than it did earlier whilst also pepping up on the back edge. It's snowing lightly again now in Oldham.

[ICETAB]

This aint over yet people. That band will pull north in the next couple of hours. It might not be heavy but it will snow for many

[Oakwell]

Started snowing again

[Ian Brown]

Still snowing. Home now, a level 5 inches of snow.

Thanks

[barkie]

snowing again in Rufford temp was -2 at noon went up to -0.5

[Acupuncturist]

rain today radar seems to suggest that we are going to get a couple of hours of reasonable snow from about three o'clock

[Chess01]

Still snowing. Home now, a level 5 inches of snow.

Ian do you think our area will get more heavy or is it going to carry on as light snow

[SparkleS]

Itv news just niw has just shown heavy snow for crewe, cheshire! Not much above liverpool boo!

[Ian Brown]

Ian do you think our area will get more heavy or is it going to carry on as light snow

I can only see it becoming increasingly light and patchy.

[Backtrack]

Don't know what the ECM was thinking really. For that precipitation to make any decent progress north/north east, it'll have to intensify, and there's no way it can do so now.

[Snowmad79]

The pricip hole over greater manchester, starting to fill in as that front makes a northward push.
