What a shame it's all turned to mush and I think it's raining

[WillinGlossop]

Amazing clearance here.... Suddenly you can see all the hills with snow falling in distance and everything pristine....

C.S

There is so much snow here it will take a day or so to thaw. And looking at things, maybe precip will turn back to Snow later ?

Yeah it's not thawing in am hour here... and the sleet turned back to snow before it stopped

Thaw setting in here, bits of rain and drip, drip, drip.... Still a covering on grassy areas and car tops but the roads and pavements turning very slushy with people traffic.

Same here - starting to hear drip drip drip now. Would be good to get clear skies later to freeze what will be left, not going to happen though looking at the forecast, looks like staying cloudy with some sleet most of the night then brightening up tomorrow which will thaw the rest

Looks like the front is now heading South. If you look at Leeds, the clearance came fro the south but has gone back the way it came so Leeds back in precipitation.

[WillinGlossop]

Hyde/mottram has disappeared again.....snowing lightly...... Breezier.... Snow falling off trees in breeze.... Fire on, moussaka in oven.... Wine airing early coz im in bed by 830..... Up very early tomoz... 

[Had Worse]

Do you have food and drink for several un invited guests ? LOL

[WillinGlossop]

super duper its all melting here - surprised it wont turn to rain there as well - don't get me wrong still a really good event earlier and still a good few inches here and a load more just up the road.

[winterof79]

Enjoy folk.Loads in Mossley today

[Darren Bown]

You've probably got the rest of the Rya to enjoy this! Temps up tomorrow would probably see quite a quick thaw. Nothing left here since about 2pm.

[WillinGlossop]

Looking at radar and outside band coming back over this way...... Some heavy pulses in it.....

[dodge]

Rain here now and I expect it will stay that way, until it clears.  The snow line probably above 300m+ now and should still be a decent covering over the hills to see tomorrow.

It had even turned to rain at 300m though earlier but had dumped a big amount first though.

[WillinGlossop]

Snowing again moderately...... Hills gone..... 

[robbo88]

This snow ain't going nowhere soon. Can't believe there's no ice warning for the region! 

[Had Worse]

Sleet here. Maybe it will go to snow in the heavier bursts.

[frosty ground]

Is the front expected to slide south  or simply pull away north
