Got about 5cm here and school are closed.

[Oakwell]

The snow gods of winter hill have been busy huraa :-)

[cheshire cat]

Good covering here in hale, not loads but enough to white over the roads

Just not enough to be off work or school to close

GFS spot on

[jam2010]

Heavy again here going into work but dunno if a can get home. How long will this last for?

I just wish the school would say they were closed - my son has got to go out in 10 minutes if it's open, to catch the bus! And now the website has gone down

Just woke up - wooohoooooooooo!! Nw radar says sleet here but no way. Got def inch and plenty to come. Get in u beauty!!!!!!! What do meto know??!!

Just got up... day off, got over an inch fell. Roads clear ATM. Checked security cam and it started sticking about 6 or just after. Not checked radar yet but

moderate to heavy at the moment. Temp dropped from 3c at 1am to currently 0.9.. Seems to be the wet stuff as roads and pavements no covering just

wet..

Just watched the latest BBC uk Forcast what a load of s**t its like we dont exist.

Do they not look at radar and weather station obsevations before they forcast???

[Chris.R]

No, probably not!

[frankie01]

delighted here.not been out as yet as getting ready for work, but got a total covering again and estimate at the very least an inch,but thats being conservative

[Thunder Snow]

It's pouring with rain :o

[Liam J]

Still moderate snow falling with plenty more pushing in from the east

Tell a lie, intensity increased in the last 30 min, road and pavement now covered, radar seems to indicate it fragmenting. hopefully it wont turn to rain.

[pip22]

Snow is still coming down thick and fast!! Honestly this time! Repeat of 2010? possible.

RAMP

[Liam J]

Looks like white out conditions in the far east of Cumbria up near Alston within the amber warning area - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/content/webcams/nenthead_webcam.shtml

[cfallon]

SNOW DAY woo hoo

[Chris.R]

Heavy here now, sticking nicely now got about 2 cm. Apparently it's quite deep in Southport.

[Weather-history]

Any reports from central Manchester? Did they get anything or did they miss out? It was really odd how the radar exploded to the west. It is what has given us our covering.

[itsnowjoke]

Anymore forcast??

My snowman has doubled in size lol and has no face.

[cfallon]

Woke upto this
