Warm layer at 925mb for areas below 200masl. Funnily enough it can be the same temp over in Sheffield but because there's no warm layer it's snow.

And there's another warm layer add 850 hence the ice pellets but that's going soon.

Seems we are at the center of the shadow here @Kasim Awanin Glossop just slush deposits… oh well

[russwirral]

Glossop is not good in a shadow situation, you’d be better off in Buxton.

[The Northern Ramper]

The snow is sticking on all services now.

[russwirral]

Chunky flakes coming down...  some  a good inch across

[russwirral]

Flakes are now about 2inches across...

 

Like a foam party

 

Starting to go white.. doubt it will last

[frosty ground]

Can’t tell how big the snow flakes are they are moving to fast, plus lots of snow blowing of the hill behind me 

[EastofWigan]

Winds howling and it’s raining here. 

Hope my daughters enjoying watching her first rugby match. Probably not the best introduction

It is amazing how the little “foehn” effect has been so persistent and so focused on a really narrow area on the immediate downslope.  Stockport - Glossup - Oldham - Bury - Bolton - Blackburn.

Funnily enough areas that used to get buckets of snow off a Westerly/ North Wedtely when global warming hadn’t warmed the Irish Sea. 

 

[RobR]

Pure sleet here, horrible. Even the dog walked straight back in disgust.

[The Northern Ramper]

Whiteout, shield breached

Many a very heavy snow fall from those set ups. Now got a gale force easterly and it’s heavy blowing snow but just will not settle.

Radar does not reflect the snow coming out the sky here

Had 50p size to goose feather for the past 20 mins. With the dp falling  we are now getting back to where we left off at 9am

[The Northern Ramper]

Whilst it’s not loads it’s definitely sticking now and I’m on an A road.

[Backtrack]

Full on whiteout. This is AMAZING. WHY WONT YOU STICK. JUST STICK!!!!!!!

Just like 9am here too….zilch.  Like the rest of the day (plenty falling though)

[Backtrack]

Temperature is now 0C, heaviest snow of the day and it won’t stick. What is wrong with it
