North West England - Weather Chat

Snowing steadily

[Alexis]

Lots of snow falling from the sky but it's not sticking too well and wet and slushy on tarmac, where it does stick.

 

Needs a good freeze overnight and a round 2.

[Chris.R]

This is mad now. Heavy snow, proper snow, beginning to stick on some things. Surprised there is no lightning yet. Evaporative cooling really doing its job now, Down to 0.5°C

[carl1980]

Kirby at very heavy now

[SP1986]

My thought is (as central and eastern Wirral get pounded with snow), that despite the fact its been raining - ,given a heavy shower it will surely become snow

[WorsleySnow]

Nothing in Oldham for a hour now, starting to get darker though, radar doesn't look that hopeful though!

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Heavy snow, everywhere white @ 0.8C,

steven and martin wont likebthat. I thought u were getting hail or nowt too

[simshady]

Still coming down...the streets are covered, best snow here since 2010. Didn't get any in 2013. Brilliant.

Nope, lovely snow. Coming in sharp bursts light to heavy. I wish it was more persistent. Now 0.7C.

[Snowy L]

Hail and snow mix again

[tfin]

decent covering here in Daresbury, one minute it'll be heavy and the next minute not so much. Not that i'm complaining!

 

 

Can I go home yet? 

[shelly 73]

Its taken me two hours to get from Bacup to Bury, no grit anywhere, sheet ice all through Edenfield and Shuttleworth, buses skidded across the roads, lorries can't get up hills so just stop, cars just wheel spinning. 

Luckily having 4x4 helped me but doesn't magic away the other vehicles!!!

Yes amazing 4x4s aren't they? Unless you get stuck behind someone trying to get about in a totally unsuitable car. Thick snow/ice and a hatchback on the fell road where it's treacherous. Please stay at home or go the main routes if your car can't

handle it!! Sorry rant over.

Light snow falling...

[chiffer]

Belting it down, so fun

[fedmog]

Blizzard up Buxton

[Backtrack]

It's now 0.2C. Brilliant! Snow day? Hmm

Weird, as the crow flies you are only 5 miles away-another heavy grauple shower here (staying white though)

4X4's are ok in the snow, they can "usually" get moving quicker, unless all 4 wheels are bogged down but they don't stop or go round corners any better, a 2WD car with decent snow tyres is better than a 4X4 on summer ones!
