  1. Off work, sat here watching the Cheltenham build up, snow falling. Lifes good.
  2. Interesting post. I was born in 76 and lived in Stockport until 87 before moving to Mossley until my mid 20’s. I don’t remember 81 and in my infant years Snow was something I loved but we never got. Until one morning mid 80’s when I woke up to what was several inches for the walk to school. Spending my teenage years in Mossley was a different matter. Very little in the late 80’s but the 90’s delivered some beauties, even a Sunday morning in June we had a blanket of snow until the afternoon. Our weather is so extraordinary when it comes to unpredictability, places do have their own climate.
  3. Everything but the roads still under a blanket of snow, beautiful blue skies.
  4. Low land England can’t get snow lying in March. Yes I’m delighted the far west got some, shame it wasn’t earlier for them to enjoy the spectacle.
  5. I think we need a similar set up but in January, snow was falling just not sticking. Colder temps and the snow shield temperature rise would be negated.
  6. Not got out of bed yet, just watching the winter wonderland from the warmth. Work has been put on hold for the moment.
  7. 50/50 on a snow day, I’ve been told to sit tight and await a decision.
  8. Had a white out and the gritters just ruined it, must be bad at the top of this road now, very exposed. Heavy snow here now.
  9. Which is probably why the gap has gone and I have snow from the South feeding in on a little conveyor.
  10. Whilst it’s not loads it’s definitely sticking now and I’m on an A road.
  11. Well the heavy precipitation is close to the South of Manchester now. We still have snow here albeit wet and horizontal. In the last two hours the showers we’ve had have been heavier and the ground does seem more conducive to sticking. Im still hopeful.
  12. 1001 ways for snow to fail in the north west, is a book we have all read.
  13. Those showers have smashed their way through Stoke. Now all that stands in their way are the Manchester snow shield and the warmer uppers being reported bringing rain.
  14. Just passing Chester, the flow will switch with the pivot and miss us South.
