350, 353, 354 will go the snow route (if at all), 184,180 will be severely disrupted, cant see the 184 getting to huddersfield, or certainly not on time anyway, depends on what happens the next few hours, if we carry on getting paggered at the rate we are now then its going to be a struggle IMO.

Think im probably going to be late if i get in at all then! Lol. Lets see how long this snow lasts

This is why we need the heavier have a day off snow !

Oh well at the sake of sounding selfish, I start my second week of annual leave tomorrow, so let it snow all week!! But yeah, it would be nice for those of you that have to work not being able to go in!

Looking good in Preston - everywhere covered! Legs hope it gets heavier for when I wake up for work at 6!

[Hail Seizer]

moderate snow here inn South Liverpool. About 1 inch so far, but if anything getting slightly heavier. Can see it staying around for most of the night. Possible 5-8 cm?

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's even belting it down to the north of us in Preston apparently. We have no luck!

[Hail Seizer]

Yup, intensifying in last 10 mins, and great sight for the old lampost watchers...

best event so far but not great,another hour and the snizzle will clear left with about 2 or 3 cm,poor.

[HotCuppa]

I really don't understand what's happening. The weather forecasts on TV haven't shown us getting much snow the last 2-3 days and yet we've had the dandruff for most of that time. It's having another go now after the thaw today going from big to small flakes and yet it's not really covering. And still the weather maps don't seem to be showing snow for us but the radar is. I don't know what to expect anymore!
