Sleet falling, the odd large snowflake mixed in. 1c
Snow on the tops but very pitiful. Lol
Was hoping the temporary easterly flow would be strong enough to at least generate a bit more ppn that this.

Turning a bit more sleety now. A covering on favoured surfaces. I'm happy with today, first covering before Xmas is a bonus. Doesn't happen all that often in this country.
I think snow has already made for a better winter in Oldham than the whole of last winter.

Quite moderate falls in last 20 mins or so and now sticking to the usual suspects cars, grassy areas, trees branches etc... does look quite wintry but I don't think traffic control will be worried about settling on the major roads.
Edit: I mean the roads down to lower areas, I see now there are issues coming through in the higher routes.
You can see its starting to cover on that traffic camera and that is a low area in Oldham where it is usually difficult to cover. If it does carry on like this most roads across oldham will be tricky for drivers to say the least. Where abouts are you ? because you've always seemed to get rough end of stick for snow in our town. I am not far from grains bar.

It has been snowing pretty consistently the past hour and the flakes are slowly but surely turning larger. Already people on facebook are whinging and hoping it goes quickly! suckers

Same here only showed rain and we got snow
The charts and radar often leave Western side of the pennines out of the snow! Its always usually confined to the central spine.

Given the current position of Freya why would you be expecting strong winds in your area at the moment?
To be fair I haven't looked I am just going off what the Meto say on this one and we should have already had heavy rain and winds gusting up to 20 mph by now. So far it's fairly quiet in comparison.

Barely a breeze and only a spot of rain so far in SE Greater Manchester. Were is this so called storm ? I'v had worse from "non storm" Low pressure systems
-
Absolutely peeing it down. The lying snow which had some legs is now melting away rapidly. YUK
-
Had a bit of a dusting this afternoon and now it's clouding over and snowing ever so slightly, little grainy bits of graupel and the odd tiny flake. Better than nothing right ?

Can't really call it the coldest night of winter so far. It was mild damp and foggy all night until about 6.50 when the ski's finally clear but as the sun almost out Ice on roads isn't going to be issue except for ungritted side roads.
What a terrible and mild winter this has been. Worst one for quite a few years for this reason. I suppose a couple of days with 3 inches of snow lying cant be gripped at.
ROLL ON THE HOT SUNNY SPRING

Snowing pretty moderately again here. After yesterdays Chaos with overturned cars not even taxis can make it to my street now. Turned out a pretty good spell after such a poor half to winter.

-
Heavy snow here right now and everything covered already. Not bad.

eeeeek, thats squeaky bum time looking at those graphics-
Don't you just love how in cold air the freekin PPN dries up on its way to us! In milder times it a total wash out with non-stop rain. Annoying! Looking better than the previous cold shot anyway.
-
As suspected, drizzly rain up here now
-
This ppn is coming in on a warm front. Snowing lightly but will probably turn to drizzle later for a time.
-
Absolutely pasting it down with snow now and Met Office still has bloody ice warning! As I type it starts to drop off a bit lol. This should still be causing chaos around the region.

Haha well my normal doctors is in Uppermill, but for CBT they’ve sent me to Moorside.
lol luckly you. If it carries on like this and you due up in an hour an half or more then I wouldn't be risking it to be honest. And for anyone else in the area. I would say Bullcote lane leading onto Shaw road is soon to be a no go as is buckstones road

How is it in Moorside? I have an appointment at the medical practice lol
Hiya Pal, this Photo is just a bit further down on Sholver.. If Shaw road & bottom Sholver is already bad I can almost guaruntee that Ripponden is probably a lot worse with it being higher up.
How the hell you get in there when you live in Saddleworth ? I couldn't get in at that practice !!!
