Yeah, shame those flakes aren't a little bigger, it's battering it down at the moment! Edited January 18, 2013 by The Yellow Snowman

"A reverse Cheshire Gap" - sounds like something you would find in a top shelf magazine.

Probably with Dianne Oxberry on the front cover, 'She loves a stiff cold one....'. Don't go there, it's a disturbing mental image.

Anyway after the last 24 hours I'll take a skeptical view of any potential setup this far out.

[SummerNSnow]

Have light snow falling again. About 7cm on the ground from last night and today

Looks lovely. I'm jealous!

[Thunder Snow]

Any chance of snow getting into Cumbria

Moon is out now in Kendal. Temp 0.4C. Nothing all day and nought to come Sat, Sun and probably Mon too.

Funny, we can have rain everyday, and serious flooding, but snow> No, no. Seldom seen, often dreamed.

Happy for those who have though. Enjoy.

Radar is broke. Shows nothing over us and it's still snowing moderately, lol!

[carl1980]

I been wondering whether this unexpected snow is actually drifting snow blowing by the wind. And it didnt show on radar.

Snow has eased off a bit here now but it's still been the heaviest I have seen today.

Radar is showing more to come including a large area in the Irish Sea but that appears to be heading northwards.

Hopefully more of that from the south of the region will reach ourselves and form a base for Saturdays showers from the east.

Can only dream.

[davacr123]

Looking at this cam http://www.wirralcam.org looks like heavier snow heading towards the Wirral over the dee

Very light snow tiny flakes, won't last long moon still out lol

[Never snows where i live]

Slow flakes blowing in the wind. Very icy out there. Looks like that band over the dee as dava mentioned should hit us soon

[snowdrifter]

Glad for all getting some snow tonight. Snowing again in St Annes now.

[jam2010]
