Possibly 1cm here before it started raining couple hours ago, all going now, looking at the radar for the last 12 hours we were quite lucky to even get anything, looks like most of cumbria missed out

Still more than what I got but I feel your pain really.

At least you should have some snow covered hills nearby I suspect by tomorrow morning at least, may even consider a visit to Cumbria just too hopefully see some significant snow on the ground it's that desperate!

Not going to lie since I moved to the centre 2 years ago I sort of stopped loving snow as It never settled, In fact seen as the rent has been increased by £400 we are looking to move some where in the high peak, so Im sure that will change again.

But I am amazed to see actual snow in the centre part from 2010 I don't think I've seen it since. 

Looks like as a regional event we have done pretty well!! woo

Well the sun is out now .just been the shop for some porridge and milk and bread.was nice to get out in it whilst it lasted.at a guess id say two inches fell here.looking out my window and the thaw has begun .snow falling from the trees around me .was really nice to see though makes everywhere magical parents taking their kids to school pulled on sledges.lovely to see.

We lived round the corner in 2010 when we had the last decent snow; we got a bit in 2018 but it didn't last long...

 

So this is the best since Winter 2010/2011

 

It's sitting so well on the trees in the woods behind us and on the hedge at the bottom of our garden as you go into the woods

 

Best looked at full size but think this website compresses the pics too unfortunately

Looks like clearing soon…

A street that wouldn’t look out of place during a Canadian winter.

My feeble attempt before I got too cold

 

Will get the cars cleared and moved around after so the BMWs out to take me to hospital tomorrow; it's the car with winter tyres on thankfully!

Great snowman

My Granddaughter decided I needed to upgrade the car a couple of years ago. Not sure the Silver Lady fooled anyone.

What part of Mossley Hill are you. I am hoping my 3 Yr old twin grandsons can play in it, they have never snow before

I'm pretty much by the station .elmsley road .round the corner from the rose of mossley pub.plenty of snow at the minute but it'll melt rapidly I'd imagine as the sun is shining now and it is all falling off the trees.hope they get to have a play in the snow

Yeh if it wasnt raining and melting already i wouldnt be complaining because a lot of years we dont even see anything at all, so 1cm is actually pretty good here. Hopefully some snow on the western fells, only thing is the roads are always awful up there.

@WillinGlossop

Bigger flakes incoming. 

[pip22]

Now its gone lighter.

[Ashley Rea]

Wow i honestly did not expect this at all worst snow for a long time and its still coming down 

[PennineMark]

Great to see so many folk have got snow this morning. Lots more to come too before the will it/won't it temporary switch to rain/ sleet. Up to 30mm here and -1.5c. Dp now rapidly catching up with slowly rising air temp.

[weatherobsuk]

Just woken up to a nice fresh covering of snow around town and on the hills with around 2cm (estimated by sight) settled on surfaces which is more than I was expecting to see. No major traffic issues to report as of yet.

It’s interesting that this morning’s video forecast from the Met Office is still saying ‘some uncertainty over where the heaviest snow will be’. So it is essentially impossible to forecast snow in any kind of detail, which puts those 10 day snow accumulation chart’s into some context.

Looks like a dashcam freeze frame as you hit the snowman.

Haha I like it

Belting it down in ormskirk still. Marginality can’t be far away though. The radar is incredible.

[Hoghtonwhite]

I just want to say, how happy I am for all in this group. All the time we spend show chasing and talking about it, this morning means the most to us. I appreciate that some of us (not all unfortunately) have got what we deserve. Oh, and we are the most respectful when it comes to the Mod discussion as we don't post about our region there unlike a lot of the southerners. 

Keep up the great work everyone. 

[Miamay]

Seems to be clouding over again

[Snow free zone]

Not much snow at all N of Garstang.  Pretty heavy snow falling between Preston and Garstang but N of that theres virtually nothing on the ground at all.
