There must be a good 10cm+ in Pensby on the Wirral, just been to visit my dad, strange because 3 miles away towards the coast here in Moreton theres not a lot although its coming down thick and starting to stick. Just shows you what a difference of 80m elevation makes.

[Darren Bown]

What worries me is the deintensification of this band.

Approaching 15cm here, but thats what 20 extra metres does for you.

It's definitely snowmageddon!

[Munchermark]

And as soon as I see my first flake its stopped. Nothing falling here...

[shadowfax]

Can't tell whether its actually snowing as there is so much drifting. Snow blowing off the fields in sheets, running across in a line and spinning like a tornado. So strong in the gusts that it nearly blew me over, and anything not tied down is taking off.

It's been a while since I've seen spindrift, your in a fantastic location for snow whichever direction it comes from.

The band looks like it's dying according to the met office rainfall radar

[Snow free zone]

I know it sounds daft but its SNOWING in Preston.

I agree, although Metoffice said it would intensify this evening and overnight.

Yep one big giant let down.

Yep, really surprised how much there is around here, looking at the traffic cams around the region it looks like we are getting the most if it! Now that's strange! Sticking nicely here too now it's gone dark.

Yep another couple of hours and most of us will be dry by the looks of things.

I hope your plants are OK Stephen. I remember some late snow falls when living in Liverpool in the 70's and 80's but no prolonged cold outlook like this.

[jam2010]

Still not really had a mod or heavy shower not even a cm but its the best it's been all day here

[UV-RAY]

Stop your whinging you've had your fill this winter.

[karyo]

Yes, it appears to be weakening a bit.

[Storm Animal]

Definately a lot more activity here over past hour....flakes not as large as I'd like, but it looks like that dreadful hole around Manchester may be dissapearing

[Lesley Johnson]

diane on

[Miamay]

Snow is very fine now but has no stuck nicely. What are our chances for more of the heavy stuff ??

[Chess01]

Stop your whinging you've had your fill this winter.

i understand where hes coming from hes only a few miles up the road from my location and we have had all sorts of snow today

[NickyB]

Diane dressed in black - total disbelief she delivers the snow forecast :-)
