Lovely surprise this morning! Heavy snow still this morning from a ribbon on ppn stretching to Blackpool. Here's hoping more for all of us today!

[Chris.R]

[NW_Blackburn]

Stopped here for the moment but can see the next lot of snow is just crossing the Pennines!!

[geri]

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

Shows what happens when the wind is in a favourable direction. Parts of the NW coastal areas could do better than eastern coastal areas. Some have been reporting a rain mix.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Deffo not rain here mr data. We were quite lucky with the heavier preciip not being to far away and over us for 4 hours this morning

*cough cough*

Maybe not a rain mix but its not sticking in Newcastle!

[Troubleatmill]

It's pouring with rain

Seriously TS???? you must be higher up that me and in preston we have had a really good dumping overnight, its chaos!! must be at least 3mm deep in drifts!!!!

[GazinBurnley]

WOW 3 MM drifts that's really bad LOL.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Daybreak radar is comical showed no ppn over me all night

[James M]

Bloomin wonderful out there! a good 4/5 inches and my college is shut today

[Weather-history]

Snow is getting heavier again, a heavier band is developing to my east. Very hard to predict what is going to happen when heavier bands seemingly develop out of nothing.

It will be interesting to here the mechanics why this happens.

*cough cough*

Maybe not a rain mix but its not sticking in Newcastle!

Hope it does stick for you. Nothing worse than an area that is expected to do well is actually doing worse than a place that wasn't favoured! At least not in lying snow terms.

[benricky]

Really heavy here now happy days

[Weather-history]

Coming down heavy again. Another heavy band has developed.

[V for Very Cold]

wonder if this heavy band will reach Bury ?

[Liam J]

Schools closed and gridlock in West Cumbria this morning! Still snowing but not quite as heavy.

Keep me updated! I'm stockport, its snowed more here than Irlam - but can see latest radar is picking up green/yellow and red echoes heading that way.

[Oakwell]

Son's school is closed he will be chuffed :-)

[Munchermark]

Roads are very dangerous just made it in work, had to turn around and go a different way

[Chris.R]

KGV is still open YEA I can see my friend, the one I gave the gloves to in the snowball fight LOL.
