Looks like a bit of a clearance coming into West Cumbria, dam it!

seriously heavy snow settling on the beach at New Brighton

Stephen could there be a discrepancy between what's coming down and what the n/w radar is showing?

[Darren Bown]

Really bleak here now already dusted pavements and roads!

[Weather-history]

Looks like a good part of Cheshire is going to miss most of the heavier stuff that is currently hitting the western parts of the region at the moment unless it develops there.

Its possible, what is the nature of the discrepancy?

[The charts drive me insain]

Some of the snow are the size of ping pong balls, we are getting a pasting at the minute clifton marsh, just west of Preston

[Liam J]

Stopping here and thawing out flippin awesome while it lasted though!!

[snowdrifter]

OK off into the Leyland Blizzard - back later on phone.

[Mountain Snow]

Really heavy snow now, settling well, temp at 0.2C. Hope it carries on for a while!

Yep, Wales is in the way! :-(

[NW_Blackburn]

lol looking at the rain today radar it seems to break up as it hits our area but then the ppn each side carries on to the side of us haha

[SnowObsessor90]

grauple here now.........oh no snow again........................

lol I know what you mean, it seems trying it's hardest to turn into snow fully but it hasn't quite managed it.

[Backtrack]

Radar is very misleading. Showed red echoes over my area, only moderate grauple fell.

Temp down to 1.1C, DP up to 0.8C.

[Cameron1]

Chucking it down here for 30 mins covered everthing.

[Bartlett Low]

Light snow at work in stockport..feels considerably milder than lunchtime though.
