[Spah1]

This is so marginal it keeps changing from sleet to snow and back. Snow now though.

[chiffer]

flakes have got smaller here intensity is greater though

[NickyB]

Rain/sleet here now :-(

[snowdrifter]

Still absolutely chucking it down....wife in bed, ain't interested! Lol, in the snow event.

How many inches have you got mate?

[Chris.R]

NOOOOOO it's turned back to sleet again. really marginal. Doesn't seem to be melting any of the snow cover though.

[julie253]

Can anyone see on the radar what's headed for Wirral or is that it

[benricky]

Thinking about going out for a bit before it sleetifies again. Don't know how long till the next chance. Any Fylde coasties want to meet up??

My radar says rain :-(

[pip22]

snowflakes big as a tennis ball here.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Belting it down. Was sleet and hail at 8. Had 2 inches in 2 hours.

[TomL]

Straight down the line heavy snow here now, without what seems like even the merest hint of sleet in it now (weird), blowing around wildly in the wind!

[Snow free zone]

Quite incredible really. I know i keep banging on about it. Snow in Blackpool, Leyland, Chorley infact all around here and what do we have here, not even enough to cover the grass, half a cm if were lucky.

also just dont understand how we can be so unlucky! been belting it down with rain for the last 4 hours!

[Bartlett Low]

How many inches have you got mate?

To be honest no more than an inch or or so..not a massive event depth wise. Yet. But the most surprising given 25 years history of breakdown events.

If your question was regarding my manhood, well a bit deeper than the snow over!

[julie253]

Was hoping for more - aren't I greedy?? Lol

[Spah1]

Bbc said sleet all night then rain! Wrong !

[Splishnchips]

Heaviest and biggest flakes of the night so far falling here...got 4-5 inches in places....please let it still be here in the morning for the kids

[damianb123]

Snow free zone, where abouts in Preston are you? I'm in Kirkham n we've had 3 hours of snow now..... White over bout 1" or so deep....

[weather eater]

Snowing hard here, but thawing as well, what a shame, best fall of the winter so far yet it’s all going to disappear.
