That one was better for snow here, it's been a strange winter really, cold and snow has been there but it as been a very localised affair in the NW.

[chicken soup]

If you think this is frustrating wait till the weekend when a huge snow event is being progged for the midlands and south, just missing us as normal, im officialy writing this winter of as the most frustrating winter i can remember, as it promised so much and delivered so little.

[JL23]

The story of this winter really, once mid Feb has been breached I lose interest as the chances of lying snow and deep cold plummet. Just watch those Greenland heights get themselves organised thereafter, just in time for spring and summer.

A covering here in Knutsford although it's melted on the roads already. We had the most awesome hail/groupel thunder and wind storm last night though leaving a cm or so of balls everywhere - looked amazing!

[Weather-history]

Snow coming down heavily blowing about in the wind.

[dr snow]

Unable to get out of Marple today as roads icey + layer of snow and not gritted. Good 1 1/2 " on car.Brighter but snowing again. We do seem to do well here in east Stockport with this set up. Simon

[SparkleS]

Just had a hail, fine snow shower, about 3 degrees here but nowt on the ground, those showers last night were amazing just shame it didnt stick around when it was on the car roof.

[jam2010]

Very heavy snow again

[Thunder Snow]

Slight covering and just started snowing again

[dodge]

Arrived at work in Manchester - traffic quite bad, glad I turned off Oldham-Mcr Road, it was very slow - went through Failsworth, Ashton New Road, and Manccunian way wasn't too bad either. Probably because set off earlier. Keep me posted in Oldham, it's sleet/snow blizzard here in Trafford but I expect it will be worse as it get's into Oldham. That said the radar appears to be dying out behind these showers?

Pelting graupel here about 5 mins ago, then proper snowflakes - getting lighter now though.

[cfallon]

Wow how heavy

[dr snow]

Graupel blizzard! Gosh we've had everything in the last 12 hrs

[Bartlett Low]

Taken me 2 hrs to get home from work on bus. Pelting down with snow again now.

[upgrader]

Very heavy again now.....almost white out with the wind.

Roads are gridlocked with wallys who have no idea how to drive in snow......muppets in 4x4s are the worst LOL.

[Dale Leigh_6487]

Heavy snow again hyde se manchester cm 5 mow

[Backtrack]

Had torrential hail & light snow showers overnight. There's a dusting out there but it's melting quickly. Told you guys not to expect much from this watered down north westerly. The mild sector was always going to ruin things.

Besides, convection has now died a death in the Irish Sea. Snooze fest! Although them hail showers last night were brilliant accompanied by lightning.

[Thunder Snow]

What the precip falling as over Scotland

[NickyB]

Tasty hail shower over Wallasey just now. Temp 2.9
