Formby as usual was snow free, so rarely get anything here.

Fantastic walk to school and back this morning. Beautiful views across the village to Knowl Hill and Rooley Moor. Equally as good as the walk at 20c on a clear July morning.

Last time the whole region had a snow event was about 50 years ago lmao

2010 must have been very close.

[Oakwell]

Just enough snow to give a lovely taste of winter

[Slidergate '17]

Nothing more than a light dusting overnight here, must have cleared up though as all frozen solid. Nice to look at I suppose. Certainly beats the usual conveyor belt of mild, damp & drizzly dross we usually get served up.

[Spah1]

Looks like 6am until 9am tomorrow is the next chance of a dusting. 

[Dan B]

-1°C here currently 

 

Temps dropped to -7°C overnight

 

It's white over here with some light snow overnight...

[russwirral]

Looks like the showers are starting to veer towards wirral again...

[Miamay]

That wind is bitterly cold

With some holidays to use and in a rare moment of genius I’ve booked today off from work. When I went to sleep last night we had nothing and nothing on the radar. This morning it’s a beautiful wintry scene after a couple of cm’s of lovely fresh snow. Made for a fantastic walk with the dog and a lovely boost to my mental health after a month of gloom.

2.5cm of snow overnight melting rapidly now but it was a good night possibility of a few more snow showers tonight.

It's 11:30am now and I'm surprised by the slowness of the thaw. I expected it to disappear in the sun literally instantly...that is happening. But, out of the sun and in frost hollows etc it hasn't started melting yet, which is bonkers.  I was expecting it all gone today but could hang about a few days? Especially if we get a cold night tonight?

Just a January thing. In 2 week's time the same amount will have melted.

A fairly typical 'snow day' here in the High Peak with enough snow fallen overnight to have covered all the surfaces under a good 2cm of the white-stuff, but nothing that's accumulated into drifts or caused too many problems. It's mostly the ice which is causing the majority of issues on the local roads (given the trains aren't running between Buxton & Hazel Grove due to railway-bridge works here at Whaley) but it seems the council are at least putting grit down as much as they can.

A few snow showers around Merseyside and cheshire first thing tomorrow morning,this morning was horrendous on the road numerous accidents due to idiots who cannot drive to the conditions a normal 20min school run took an hour.

[RobR]

I was surprised to awaken after the sleet/ice to see the snow had stuck around in most shaded spots today. We may see cover for the whole day. I was also surprised to see it whiteover from Nantwich all the way to Birmingham on the M6, the showers must have been extensive last night.

[itsnowjoke]

I here drip drip 

[pip22]

Supposed to be a sunny day today according to met O office forecast, seems the clouds rolling in now. 

[SP1986]

Most of the snow has rapidly melted now, so my guess is any showers will be of rain/sleet or hail today due to higher dew points. 

[WillinGlossop]

Lookslike Home managed a dusting to 1cm snow overnight… on cameras…

might have wintry showers tonight here and possibly something more substantial tomorrow night… I’d be surprised if it snowed here… 

[severe snowstorm]

Hail shower passing through here now, 4.7C. There has been partial melt of snow cover, but still quite a bit of it intact here. 

[raul_sbd]

How is it looking for tonight/early morning tomorrow? what are your thoughts @Kasim Awan man

[The Northern Ramper]

Drip drip but anything shaded remains, going to be icy tonight

models going for a streamer early hours. may miss us to the south again. where it hits 3-6cms poss. not trying to predict its location - will just say anywhere between blackburn and stoke at risk. not much outside the streamer few rouge showers.
