Still snowing but it's like wading through inches of slush, though everything's still white.

[Snow free zone]

Cracking up now im quoting my own posts

[weather eater]

snowing but with rain mixed in, looked good for a while shame.

[karyo]

Not had chance to look, too good here for once!

Just wondering how this was panning out elsewhere.

Yes, good to be getting the action for a change!

[Weather-Voyager]

got about 3-4 inches now of snow fall, up to my wheel trims!

Given some of the reports and conditions surely the Met Office should have had a 'red warning' out for this over N Eng...

[karyo]

It's gone lighter here now.

[greybing]

It is really accumalating outside ,id say there is a good 2 or 3 inches now and still snowing but lighter.

Still raining here. Drip, drip, drip.

[trickydicky]

about 3 or 4 inches of the wettest snow imaginable here, and still coming down heavy; looks great until you go outside!

[jam2010]

Got heavy here again all the branches off the trees drooping.

Looking at bits of the M6 he may well be right

Well another inch maybe 2 on top of what i got before, not as much as being in the amber zone i would have expected but a decent cold spell, if we dont get a cold spell in feb then its been an average winter but a potent blast in feb with decent snow wouold turn it from average to very good, still snowing anyway.

[Andrew Owens]

have we ever reached 87 pages before?

[Chris.R]

Yes, don't you think it's time for a new thread mods?

[Rnewbs]

five or six here. and still intense.

just went through the 18z GFS and the upper air temps actually get cloder as we go through the night from hovering around 0 down to -4 in a few hrs i think other factors suchas dew points and air temps will counteract this drop in uppers but still it may get us a bit longer

back edge not all that far away now-coming over Llyn peninsular heading towards Angelsey.Still stupendous amounts falling here.

[cfallon]

My car since I came home at 2130!

[SparkleS]

Can hear a dripping on the window! Argh still the odd snowflake falling now big ones but i think its going back to rain.

Its crazy in this thread, can barely catch your breath!! Lol

[weather eater]

weird two camera pictures at Bamber bridge, one snow the other rain

[Bartlett Low]

Said this 3 times tonight but that could be curtains now. Still flakes coming down but getting back to the 7pm mostly rain. Still, great to see HEAVY lying now for once, quite a few twists and turns. Decent event. Best since 2010, a year that probably won't be matched for 20years IMO.
