The Northern Ramper

BBC nw forecast was pretty good then.

Had Worse Its been like that for months now at Tadcaster, I drive to York twice a week. The river in York has overflowed and been deeper than the benches on the paths next to it. Beer gardens on the edge flooded etc.

itsnowjoke Not yet.

Hammering it down.

It’s sticking!!

Snow much heavier now, threatening to stick.

I’ve just been out to the shop and it’s bitter. A strong easterly in the face and snowing quite heavy again. Snow not melting on impact with me so there’s hope yet. Snow on the hills, I’d say about 200 snow line.

Spoke too soon, light rubbish again.

Quite heavy here, if this can just maintain it might get somewhere.

Snow getting heavier, still not sticking. I can see waves of white against the hill in the distance, it’s improving.

Kasim Awan light snow not sticking at 165

Light snow here, cars going past and some with snow on.

I think it’s turning here

The met app is a definite improvement, any shift from the hi res models for today?

I’m now expecting a fail, hope to be surprised, things can change.

damianslaw I’d be happy for the winter after that Saturday fall you had.

Chris.R Come on Chris give me some good news, Rochdale/Oldham border. 165m but 300 within walking distance.

I’ve got tomorrow off now, I’ll be gutted if it’s a fail.

Gary L I doubt it will happen, it’s at the top of Ward lane.

Gary L supposed to be delivering in Diggle tomorrow

Had Worse I could watch that for hours.

northwestsnow Probably as much as me mate, lived in Stockport early 80’s and there was several letdowns. By 91 we’d moved to Mossley and I remember some amazing falls. I’d gone to bed there was no sign of anything, I awoke for my paperwork to a foot of untouched snow. Awesome

northwestsnow Knowing your area well im sure you’ll be ok if not as much as the same elevation over the hill.

russwirral 100% this All we had to go off was the countryfile forecast, teletext forecast and standard weather forecasts for the next 24-48hrs back in the 80’s and 90’s. Oh and Lamppost’s

Winter Hill Living in my location it’s not what’s happening at home that causes the bedlam. The motorway gets closed at the next Junction which is the highest motorway junction in the country. Everything gets diverted off the motorway and onto my road which is the quickest route over the tops. The only problem with that is it goes from 150-350m in only a few miles, trucks get stuck and everything is quickly gridlocked. During BFTE it was gridlocked for two days, even last year I got a snow day out of about two inches at my location.
