[Osamasbinsledgin]

Heavy ( small flake) still falling, now sticking readily to grass/paths

[Spah1]

Check out the met office app for the i phone and look at predicted rain it should only beef up at 9ish tonight.

[HotCuppa]

my area meto going for around 11/12am

Looking at the radar the block is holding and pushing all the precipitation into the northwest rarther than up the east coast

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Is Cumbria in a warning for snow?

[V for Very Cold]

light granular snow in Rochdale this morning

[dr snow]

Getting a bit heavier here in Marple (east Stockport) but still light. Don't know whether this is the band coming up from the SE or possible Humber streamer mentioned by Kev (would do well to get all the way across the Pennines!)

[The Northern Ramper]

Well the met have nothing for here until 3pm however an easterly streamer has set up which is hitting us.

A nice surprise.

[martinj2]

Yeah.......me too.

[HotCuppa]

[SP1986]

pretty large flakes in comparison to the dust stuff we have before.. sticking to vegetation but melting the snowcover weve had already.

[Backtrack]

Coming down heavier now. Oh well screw it. Brb.

[julie253]

My app shows us getting a battering from 3 until early hours with light snow this morn. It's been so accurate all week

[HotCuppa]

could really do with this precip intensifying, still coming down as powder snow, light to moderate, but now little accumulation

[swainclubber]

finally proper snowfall now. it's only taken a week!!last Sundays effort made it thru the week which was nice.

It's the streamer from the east. A few slightly heavier echoes out there now, but still looks generally light.
