Managed a light cover but the snow is v wet and it is now raining so it will soon clear. Ground above 250m should retain it. Nice to see big snowflakes.

[R.P. McMurphy]

[Cheshire Freeze]

Don't know what's going to happen yet. FWIW the GEM progs a situation very close to what happened a few Fridays back. The one that dumped 20cm drifts on the south of the region.

Let's hope more of us get a blanketing this time!

We had white out for half an hour or so, a complete covering, but now sleet and groupel and slush on the roads/paths. Could probably scrape a snowball or two off the car if desperate...
