seriously? pelting down with snow here.

Definately dripping from the lampost, at first i thought it was just flakes coming down vertically but its very large drips, i cant asctually see it raining but it definately isnt proper snow and it must be warming up.

[Brass_Monkeys]

Huge flakes here now coming down thick and fast!

[Chris.R]

There's snail cover still in my garden LOL.

[frosty ground]

Moderate to heavy snow with ice mixed in. Oldham 230m ASL

We had a period of ice pellet/rain/snow mix but have heavy snow again now.

[HelenVF]

Big flakes in Bowland. Must have at least 3cm. Total snow cover on the ground.

Sister is in Lancaster and said it was raining.

sorry to hear it mate. the snow is nice and dry when you see it falling but it's wet to the touch on the floor.

[SparkleS]

Seem to be snowflakes coming diwn again here

[pip22]

Its trying to turn to snow here.

[macc2013]

i give up as all we are getting in Macclesfield is dam rain.

Its not melting any snow though, no flakes at all now, so its either Jack or rain.

[cheshire snow]

Yep cannot decide what to do had half hour of rain,but did not damage the cover

now same as you moderate snow

[weatherobsuk]

Flights to/from Manchester airport suspended due to snow

[greybing]

ooh,begining to snow,albiet wet.

[feb1991blizzard]

how far are you from me? really really heavy here.

10 miles.

[UV-RAY]

Back to moderate snow now, temp 1.0c. Looking at the radar we could get hit by another heavy burst of snow soon, thereafter back to sleet/rain.

[swainclubber]

10 miles.

strange. those further west getting snow again should mean we have a few hours left easy.

[Darren Bown]

Coming down thickly here.

[Louise]

Surprised as that because it's snowing here near Crewe and passes us before it passes you!

[pip22]

Thick flakes here now.
