[V for Very Cold]

very light flurries and a brighter sky.... think that was it for Bury

[UV-RAY]

Worst snowfall ever!!!!!!

[SparkleS]

Well the met office showing yellow band warning of just ice for saturday and sunday whereas it was just for snow before.

[Cheshire Freeze]

This event isn't fit to lace December 2010's boots.

Not in your neck of the woods, no. Double what we had in 2010 here.

[gearbox1001]

its starting to stop now, was nice tho, apart from some idiot in are street salted the whole street so nothing stuck. grrrr elf and safety mad.

[Backtrack]

Turned to light snow now, looks like it is done.

[Martin M]

Best snow event here for 10 years+..... easily

We have less than half of that. Rare that happens, usually the other way around. So close yet so far away...

[itsnowjoke]

Its getting a bit hard to get an answer in here at the moment.

[weatherobsuk]

Will 'Gong' have much effect on the UK in terms of warm-air seclusion being injected across the UK? looks quite a beast on the models.

[HotCuppa]

@HotCuppa, looks like that's all folks! Unless it pulls back west, which I doubt.

you are still not panicking are you? ? the front will stay with us to the west...stop panicking...snow changed to powder now, but still very blizzard like..

[Cheshire Freeze]

At least people in some parts of the region now know what it feels like for us in the usually snowless SW of the region

[UV-RAY]

Another yawnfest of an event, I've had more cover of a frost. Roll on the Atlantic breakthrough.

[toccylad]

Snow still coming down

[annamb]

Band seems to be losing intensity over our region now, but the showers over north-west Wales have beefed up in the last hour or so.

snow like this three times, in the past 30 odd years...and yet for you ..its almost every year other other year...

south of the region is fine, still almost blizzard like here with powder snow...temp and dp both have dropped remarkably.

the cloud as broken just a little bit, hence why its gone a little moderate rather than heavy, once back under the cloud we will be fine, you will see, because this has to shift our way again

[Oakwell]

Eased off here at the moment, I still can't believe this great result in terms of snow

[Snow free zone]

Usually snowless ..... hmm well from another usually snowless part of the NW guess what ..... its still snowless ..... enjoy your snow

[Waterspout]

DIscounting any drifts (which are about 6" up the windows) about 3" here Nr Sandbach @ -0.9 C. Very fine and light now, blowing about alot. Looks like something pepping up again to the South West. So, may be not done yet!

We haven't seen lying snow for over two years.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Gone livht now.

@hc is it hue to intenisfy again

[dodge]

wow just been out and about and amazingly there's about half an inch of snow/ice............left on the grass from last Sunday night's snizzle fest lol

Just about as non-event as it could be for my area today. Congrats to those in the South West of the region.

We will of course get our own back at some stage

[Spurry]

It's a lot lighter now , but has been mod/heavy all morning, probably about 2-3 inches in depth , but i'm in work so haven't been out since 7.40 am..should be an interesting journey homw if this carries on.

[chiffer]

Expect it to probably carry on til midnight.

[burylad12]

Nothing at all in bury/rochdale area, not happy!

[paul12345]

Starting to melt here now.

Hopefully we get another shot this evening as Jo Blythe said.
