What about Manchester airport?

[The Yellow Snowman]

My window, yes my window now has a dusting.

[Darren Bown]

Also starting to stick here, fine grains of heavy snow, perhaps the damp floor is freezing allowing it to stick easier?

[Weather-history]

Snow whipping around and settling quite easily now.

[R.P. McMurphy]

It's going to stall soon

[pip22]

I will declare this snow event a proper Winter Storm!!

[gearbox100]

never seen snow like it here, its changed so badly. Thick snow

[HotCuppa]

Slowing down now

I wouldnt worry at all. There is a lot more snow coming. It's been a strange day with this snow, Once that front stalls, i can see the precip totals mounting up. Just look at that stuff from france making it' way northwards, most of that is very intense stuff

[davyf]

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Any idea when it will stall?

it has already

[snowmanatee]

How long does a stall last, could it decide at any moment that it's tired of chilling and doesnt like the area and sprint off somewhere

[julie253]

Yay!! we should get bucketfuls then!

[Weather-Voyager]

untill it runs out of energy

[HotCuppa]

Conditions out there are awesome. Thankfully the gritters did their job. The gritted pavements now have a covering though. Coming down with quite a bit of intensity. Be nice to actually see it accumulate this time, thanks to the earlier dp's we saw quite a thaw, still the grass, the roof tops and most everywhere else still had a couple of cm's. Roads still had slush but the pavements where clear, now it' covered too. Just a word of warning about the liverpool automated weather system. It's actually declaring the wrong precipitation, temp and dp's which are lower. Some times it suffers from these little hiccups.
