Cloud breaking a bit now. Been a decent snow event this close to 10cm which surely warranted a yellow warning from the met office. Imagine if this was London. Prob have been a red.

Strangely, they removed most of the North-West from the warning area earlier. I'd be surprised if they don't re-issue an ice warning...

Just stopping after several hours now. Gather that it is all.

Now for the freeze over. Hopefully skies clear sharpish.

First winter in Cheshire and it produces this beauty. My expectations are low given we are at sea level virtually but today has proven given the right conditions we can have settling snow in daylight hours in November!

Welcome to South Cheshire. We live in Wistaston and we have seen more snow over the last few years than I expected when we moved from the cold North East. CreweCold might disagree

[Gypo]

Pretty much stopped in Weston too now, will be tricky in the morning when it's an ice rink.

Going to be a v cold night across the region It had stopped snowing but it’s just started again probably the last hurrah as the band sinks south. What a great start to the season! Even better locally than Nov 2010

A few quick snaps around town before sunset

[northwestsnow]

An excellent event ,really good to see so many in the region do so well ...

The church had their Christmas fair so was magical for the children what with santa and the snow....

I reckon around 4 to 5 cm here with no thaw so the field at the top of the street is full of sledges ..

Maybe one for Kevin's archives ,really decent event..

4 inches of snow over the weekend pretty cold out there now mind, then agai it didn’t get above 0 so that will be an ice day 

[iand61]

It is strange that the Met O aren’t expecting ice to be an issue across the northwest after today’s snow when other parts of the country warrant a warning.

even my driveway needs a warning 

and after a dry hour, light snow has started again.

On top of Grinshill, 190m above sea level 8 miles N of Shrewsbury. All rain here and green as far as can see (the Wrekin doesn't seem to have any snow)

Quite. No way I expected an inch of snow to fall today. 

Dark in the next half an hour so hopefully we get a quick clearance and a rapid temperature drop.

[Frigid]

First Ice day and first snow day of the season, it's not even started yet! After what was a very mild November, we finally got respite. quite similar to Nov 2005.

Absolutely weird. I think it must be about timing. It started early enough here to drag the freezing level down and you then get a feedback from there. Any later starting and it would probably have been rain here too. 

As it is, I'm made up, went for a quick walk and had an inch of fresh snow crunching under my feet. It's what winter is all about!

Stopped here now but still lying and still balancing on my washing line

Why would you want to balance on your washing line.

 

[Weather-history]

GFS 12z has an almost repeat performance during Thursday early hours

[northwestsnow]

Another snow shower ...

[Cheshire Freeze]

The question is, how low can the temperatures go tonight? I think -10 might be reached somewhere.

[Monkeypants]

no sunset pics just my coke in the snow to go with the vodka later. another good event in st3

That would make sense if it had rained in the E and S Midlands where it started around the same time as here, but it snowed there too! It's very weird. In the way down it did briefly turn wintry but was back to rain when I was back in the car park at 150m (if it had stayed as snow the timing theory would also make sense with it getting dark)

just a dusting for Chorley

[A Face like Thunder]

Premier League game Burnley v Spurs called off because of snow and the NW is not included in the weather warning for snow. Hmm

[Winter Hill]

As @northwestsnow said not a bad event. 
Had to remind myself this is not February but November. 
Glad to see many get a good covering. 
Quite picturesque now
