Probably had an inch of fresh snow so far & still coming down nicely, being blown about in the wind....should be decent if it carries on overnight

[SparkleS]

Lol mondays yellow warning has been slowly slowly creeping west all day! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=map&map=Warnings&zoom=7&lon=-2.54&lat=53.70&fcTime=1358596860

Surprised how far west the band of snow is travelling, we just need some of that darker stuff hovering to the East of Sheffield to make inroads

[bridgechad]

still only light snow here. its accumlutaing but not to any great amount. maybe a cm at most. needs to be heavier to give me something measurable

I wouldn't know, the Met Office have broken my radar.

No worries, not like I pay £9.99 a month for the full Net Weather package or anything, don't need the radar at all........

[Brass_Monkeys]

Had a dusting here, nothing measurable anyway. Nothing worth staying up for in this part of the region. I hope to see some nice snow pics from all the hill dwellers out East tomorrow morning

[The Northern Ramper]

Heavy snow here at the moment.

The roads must be pretty bad now between Sholver, Delph and Saddleworth and the snow is still pretty damn intense

Use the free raintoday one, thats all I use and you can zoom in really well to your local area ;o)

I did, don't get the NMM or anything though, plus only updates every 15 mins vs the 5 mins Net Weather.

[Snowmad79]

Seen the gritter about 3 times, I think Oldham Council are on it like a gritter bonnet!! The minor roads are quite hazardous though, should be fun tomorrow morning

Looking good now! What would top it off would be the heavier stuff reaching us for a SNZOWDAY tommoz
