Yes apart from 2013, 2018 it's not exactly been fantastic in the last 10 years but those were exceptional cold spells and not really the norm for the UK, they never have been really. I'm guessing your up near hazelhurst? as that's the only residential place in Ashton of that height. That can be a bloody good area for snow not too far from Mossley and Hartshead pike, far better than areas west of Tameside. I used to live off Rose hill rd and the amount of times we had good snow cover and relatives in Droylsden had nothing at all I'd be rich haha. I guess if your expectations are high and want to be knee deep in it every year you will be disappointed but this is the UK.
yeah im the top of hazelhurst near the school. Not looking for knee deep thats once a lifetime and its happened but just some snow to go sledging would be nice. i used to live on smallshaw and we do better than we did there but last few years we been lucky to see snow falling nevermind lying.

Think I'm still not fully understanding the shadow effect!
I'm based in Ashton-U-Lyne just under 200m above sea level but we have barely seen any snow for 10 years I think my daughter has been sledging once as we just have not had snow where we are due to the hills around Manchester for our shadow unless we get a irish sea streamer in a very specific direction or a very strong easterly/north easterly that makes it over the hills (2009/2010 style) we just dont get snow that even lies despite our height
in other words, if its cold enough to snow it wont snow, but its its warm enough to rain we will get rain rain and more rain. Someone explained its to do with the upward movement when the air is colder but i cannot remember the exact reason for this happening-

Hoping that at the top of Ashton-u-Lyne on the ridge of Hartshead Pike i might get lucky today and not be affect by the snow shield. My daughter is nearly 11 now and never had snowfall here enough to go sledging at 200m asl crazy when you think about it!

There is the potential for a Pennine shadow over Manchester early tomorrow. Stromg vertical advection + gentle NNE wind. Wont be a classic dry shadow, may just produce lighter ppn for a time here.
Dreaded words I dont want to hear where I am. the dreaded shadow - its the snow equivalent of Voldemort for us in east Manchester

Just wanna express my thanks as always to everyone for their insights in this thread! The Mod thread is impossible to follow for us not in the south and the input of many members in here have been excellent and invaluable!

Guys, how long did it rain for before it turned to snow.
at least an hour for me of drizzle rather than rain. still a sleety mix here with snow in heavier bursts that are not sticking as too wet
-
Temp 2.2oC
DP -2.3oC
pretty happy atm, well below forcast!
-
Im guessing tonight's event will be half a mile up the road as usual! Sitting at 140m asl I can often see the snow line! Next house I buy is gonna be over one hill further east!
-
Heavy snow in Ashton under Lyne. Looks to have started sticking in the last hour. Bout 2 cm on car roof ATM at 150m asl

Feels much colder this morning. Murmors on the model thread of snow event tomorrow night as what was meant to only reach Scotland is being modelled further south. Ties in with meto app which has Ashton down for snow sat night (which will change for sure before tomorrow).
-
Just rain here at 140m asl in Ashton-u-Lyne atm - DP too high atm at 1.5oC but slowly dropping with the rain now

i. Hi I'm in Hyde and we have 2 cm covering
prob about the same here after the shower around half six. not noteworthy though as ive got into work early haha.
got to say i was hoping for more.
-
looks like work for me, no cover here in ashton
-
thundersnow here in ashton-u-lyne
-
Hoping here in east Manchester on the first hill I'm lucky for the first time in a couple of years but no doubt the pennine snow shield will be in full effect again
-
still snowing but heavier now. still not sticking though cars are almost covered. looks like green olde ashton misses out again
just hoping the temp drops a bit more to help
