What did I say to everyone? Stay calm, sit back and enjoy!

[greybing]

Stopped now but as some have noted ,sticking is not really happening anywhere other than cars and a bit of grass.Apparently lower level air temps are forecast to so i honesly,given enough precip,thinkwe will have a coovering come morn ..here certainly.

[chiffer]

Call this snow? Pah

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

good inch or more now woooooohoooooooo,edit: looks like thats it for a wee whuile streamer ran out of steam..

[feb1991blizzard]

fkn full on blizzard here, night all

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

big gap now as this latest band moves away,hopefully more to come but the big gaps in the bands is a tad annoying,not sure what crewe is on about with a streamer?

[Backtrack]

No idea what it's doing. I'm playing Call of Duty with the tunes on loud. Since some bugger has stashed my weather station I don't care either.

I came on here at 12 when i noticed wild snow outside ..then saw the radar and realises that i am on the western flank of the stramer.... on well ....more more snow tonight?

A streamer is setting up....you can see the precipitation on the radar out off the west coast. That'll just keep forming and piling in towards Manchester.

[GazinBurnley]

weve just had more thunder here and a couple of flashes of lightning,snow is heavy too

[Cheshire Freeze]

This will be a classic for parts of Greater Manchester. By dawn I reckon 10-15cm

[Staffordshire]

Weve had our heavy snow here tonight but the rest is all yours have fun

[chicken soup]

Drizzle here, complete and total load of crap once again..time to call it a day now this horrendous winter.

drizzle? wow your really nhot far from me and i have an inch cover but to be fair its VERY wet snow and a gap in showers will mean a slow thaw.

[greybing]

Oldham dwellers ..i know nothing of the area and i have to move rthere or that area of ast mancs [pref high up though for obvious preferences] .I was wondering on advice because im told some areas are really bad .If any contact could be made for advice on areas that would be welcome.ta

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Go get'm Bt!

On another note, I'm quite disappointed with this polar Werly now. After that thundery shower earlier on, it's been dry apart from the odd heavy rain shower since.

[Backtrack]

Find it hilarious how showers from the east never really seem to get here, yet our Irish Sea streamer get's over the Pennines like they're not even there.

Clearly we're 'arder out west.

Cool ,what would I do without your info... epWhat you say about further streamer activity is thay simply from the onvective effect of wind .Forming cloyd and precipitation/moisture laden.ta

[greybing]

Is that true and if so why?What [topographical?]or whatever other factors would cause this ?

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

im still not seeing this streamer that cc refers to,looks to be dying out out west?

[Backtrack]

Meh, there's troughing injecting energy into that thing so it'll never really lose it's intensity whilst there's moisture for it to feed off. In a bit of a trolling mood, sorry!

[Chris.R]

HAHA temp's gone up to 4.2C BOOOOOOOO.

Oh bugger it. I'm going to bed. I had high hopes for tonight but it's let me down again, there hasn't even really been any hail to speak of. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Hur, typical!

[Chris.R]

I'm hoping that reverse psychology will do the trick again, although I'm going to bed either way.

Not bad where I live in Scouthead, pretty high up and lots of snow, or any other Saddleworth villages.......... look on www.nestoria.co.uk

Grains Bar between Moorside & Denshaw is extremely high & snowbound too
