Reading Backtracks posts since friday and it seemed to snow for 24 hours, and that is all there is?

[Brass_Monkeys]

We have a good snowfall now , but it's not sticking , not sure of dew point but air temp is 0.5c, could do with it getting colder

Encouraging to hear places as far west as St Helens and even Liverpool are recording snowfall as it bodes very well for us. I'm going to remain very cautious though after getting my hopes up on Friday far too much. It will be a very pleasant surprise if I wake up tomorrow to a snow cover.

Temps today maxed out at 2 degrees, indeed over recent days whilst it has been cold we haven't seen temps below -2 degrees since Tuesday, and there has been no frost or ice to speak of, so whilst it is certainly a cold spell of weather - it doesn't feel or look particularly wintry.

Still a good 5cm on the grass from yesterday, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

It wouldn't light

[greybing]

Lets hope we will get that :-)

Very unlikely,but hey,you never know.

[Backtrack]

It wouldn't light

Damn

[johnwirral]

Sticking a bit in west kirby, bigger flakes aswell

[R.P. McMurphy]

This is pitiful - tiny flakes of dandruff still falling for the past hour. Would prefer rain than this as its just teasing! Still not have more than 1cm here for 2 years now!

Fingers crossed we always do well out of unexpected snow :-)

it's unusual for us to do better than Oldham. small flakes but plenty of them.

Not yet...need it to be heavier but looking good all the same

[The Yellow Snowman]

Moderate snowfall but it isn't sticking anywhere apart from places with remaining snow cover from Friday.

Typical!

[SummerNSnow]

That's a p**S take..well,at least someone 's getting something,enjoy it mate. It is just making the ground wet here really,there's a bit of accumalation on the grass and where there's ice.

Fell bad for you, no fun when everyone is getting snow and you're not!!

I will find you, and I will kill you.

Tried to *like* your post, but I've run out! Still laughing!!!!!
