Northwest Weather Discussion

[Ashley Rea]

Back home in Skelmersdale and I think that's the last of the snow now looking very clear here

Peak 4x4 Response on FB reporting 6-7ft drifts in places around the High Peak this early morning  Buxton & Chinley notably.

Yikes. I'm planning on hiking up the Goyt later on in the morning which should make things interesting, still unsure whether to chance it over Long Hill (hoping it's still closed) or take the simpler route round the back of WhiteHall. Either-way it's been a good few years since we've seen drifts coming even close to those kind of depths.

Got a covering 

[cheshire snow]

Heavy snow no idea on how much I'm nice and toasty in bed 

[cumbrian ice]

Stopped snowing here. Looking outside we have maybe 4" or so.

[russwirral]

Best snowfall in maybe 10 yrs. Maybe 6cm deep? Grass pretty much covered up. 

[Iceaxecrampon]

Looks like that’s that. 
Might have to rely on those decent returns heading down from the NE

It’s time to venture outside

[Joe Snow]

Moderate snow giving a slight covering on the grass, cars & roof tops currently but not as good as other parts of the region. MO has S Cheshire down for snow till 9-10am. 

[NickyB]

Been out with my tape measure 3cm here

[Day 10]

I'll get a pic up when it's light.

[Had Worse]

[Joe Snow]

Wow, so close to here as the crow flies…and there maybe a whole 1cm cover here.  It does look pretty, but a real let down sadly.

I ventured up to Nangreaves and the edge of the Moors at 250m for my early run.  Completely different there with drifting snow and stinging wind on bare running legs!  Even there only 5cm level snow, so not much, but some big waist high drifts.

all in all, better than nowt!

Anyone on Sale Altrincham área? How is over there? Snow? Traffic? 

[Day 10]

Snow actually pepping up again.

[simshady]

A dusting here in Wythenshawe, south Manchester, but mainly wet.

This event is worse than March 2013. The snow is that bad it has collapsed the garden shed under a drift. Tools and equipment flying round in the snow.

Sorry about your shed

[iand61]

Not quite up there with March 13 in amount of snow but probably the best blizzard since.

50/50 on a snow day, I’ve been told to sit tight and await a decision.
