[Never snows where i live]

Looking at the radar at present i expect some snow around 9:30ish

[karyo]

Well the PPN certainly has intensified coming across the Peninies, getting heavier here

I'm low lying, about 96m asl

Where in Manchester are you?

[Brass_Monkeys]

mines gone orange!!!

Isn't the pink or orange colour caused by the ice crystals?

Snow is in the air

[SparkleS]

I'm only in wallasey so we will get the same as Birkenhead hopefully. Fingers crossed anyhow.

[NW_Blackburn]

Irlam, Salford

[greybing]

Strarting to get a touch heavier here.This is just going to wet the ground here im sure.

[Brass_Monkeys]

technically the radar is showing light ppn over most of Manchester City now so that has already crossed over the Snake Pass area

I agree but whether this continues and we get something with decent intensity spreading into the region remains to be seen.

A good start, though.

yeah think so.

[wysiwyg]

Youre all welcome to a dip in mine anytime guys!!

[Spurry]

Looks like a big amount of snow just east of here, hopefully it has enough energy to push in further

[R.P. McMurphy]

Snow is in the air

I have seen different explanations from "snow is a good reflector off street lights" to "means heavier precipitation" I'm keen to believe heavier as I always notice the sky go pink when it's heavy.
