Has gone very grey and getting very organised, big flakes coming down on top of what we already have. This is already the biggest snow event here for a LONG time.

Started back up here, seems to be getting going but who knows for how long?

Little bit of dripping here, sky going very “I’m about to dump snow” grey again.

Just had a gritter spreading go past my house, I think we are getting more and it’s a surprise for the council!

I went outside around 2pm just to see how hot it was and I have never, even when on holiday in Spain in the depths of summer, felt anything like it, the heat of the sun and the wind, just popped back out a few mins ago and, while still stupid hot, was nothing like a few hours earlier. Also, looking at the trees, the wind seems to have made a marked change in direction now, so fingers crossed we are on the wane………………

Is starting to have a proper go at snowing here but the ground is soaking wet already and it's not cold enough to stick.

Sudden heavy hail just started here.

I'm liking the talk of potential colder weather coming in the model thread and by the MET as the failed flue liner for our wood burner is (finally, after 2 years of not being able to use it) being replaced tomorrow (with Thermocrete, not short lived stainless steel like we have now), and am looking forward to some cozy nights in front of it and not having to worry about how much gas our 43kw boiler is chewing through!!

Pretty heavy, was going to say hail but just checked and it's grapuel Edit- and it's stopped.

A little bit of something a bit frozen\icy falling again when I just went out to the bins.

We've surprisingly got a thin layer of white stuff in Salford

If there is snow in the hills I can just head up to see my friends in Edenfield, they live pretty much at the top of the valley, though if there is snow there it's a long walk from the main road up their drive to the house as even their 4X4 pickup (with winter tyres on it) can struggle to get to the house (sometimes it can't!).

Metoffice warnings in for Tuesday

Coming down heavier than all day here now!

Is picking up again here, radar shows plenty still incoming, Met app shows snow until 4pm now.
