Very light snow here now but hopefully more to come during the next few hours although if not, at least we've had a covering which may last for a day or so.

 

 

Gone very light here, yet got more covering.  Just had a lamppost check and it's very fine but lots of it.

[Thunder Snow]

Snow was moderate turned lighter now with slight dusting

[HotCuppa]

Temp 2.8C
Dew Point 3C
850' hpa -5

Dew point far too high. 
 

[jam2010]

moderate to heavy for the last 20 minutes, cars are skidding all over the place. 

Crazy the difference across the region.

 

[dodge]

Very light dusting here, bit silly really to give it that much attention, but we've been snow-starved this winter, so anything is better than nothing.

[March Blizzard]

How is it settling in Salford but not in Stockport? I don't get it.

The Dew point can't be higher than the temp, so somethings wrong there.

[Mokidugway]

Snowing again big flakes now

Very strange. I live in Salford, thermometre reading -1oC and still moderate snow, settled everywhere over last hour, not deep but great to watch. Would have imagined Stockport would have got similar!

i agree, I don't expect it to but just wondering why they didn't change their area of the warning?  Unless they have other models etc hinting otherwise.  Awaiting the NMM and ARPEGE with interest.

I'm afraid our Nantwich micro climate force field has struck yet again!

[captaincroc]

EXciting update from ARPEGE (The Met O trusted friend)...

It has updated the position east now but it still moves west in the end and we are all in the smack area again...

now....

 

later...

 

 

 

[Bolton67]

So..

no snow in Stockport 

no snow in Crewe. 

Light snow in Bolton, Oldham & Rossendale 

blizzards where Jam 2010 lives

Yeah same here, very odd that Stockport has nothing, is even settling on my road which is pretty busy this time of day.

[I'M NOT RALLY HERE]

Really coming down here

Moderate snow in Salford, covering all surfaces. Not heavy or a blizzard though.

[jam2010]

ha ha, :-) I wouldnt quite say Blizzard conditions it has gone lighter now but still coming down a fair bit. It is strange how it is sticking here with ease. (a bit lighter now)

In 2013 a similar situation happened, central, eastern & northern areas of Manchester got decent snow cover but southern areas missed out on most of it yet there is not a massive difference in elevation. Must be a reason for it, perhaps the ground is just simply a bit colder a few miles north? or something else like topography is involved.

[Cheshire Freeze]

I don't see where the precipitation is going to come from? From the radar it looks pretty much over?

[Mokidugway]

Wait for it .............1 inch of snow  :0
