 Rush2019 depressing ain’t it. 
sick to death of all this rain.

 iand61 great win for you yesterday. 
going down to the last game of the season for us.  I just can’t see Derby losing at Carlisle.

After all the snow that’s fallen today 

this is the final accumulation. 
 

annoying because  it could have been far better 

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

If this would have stuck from 7am this morning then the local Blackrod, Horwich and Bolton area would have been looking at 15cm+  even as I type massive flakes coming down here in blackrod.

think you are correct. Big white house on the corner of the street at the top.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Can’t see much laying snow to be honest. 
sleet now showing.

yep the entrance to padfield primary school was horrendous. Down a narrow street and an even narrow entrance into the school.  Think I clipped a couple of wing mirrors on a few occasions

Oh yes !  The biggest pain was the roadworks !!

That is what exactly happens in my area. 
as I stated before, from a Easterly I will get showers but far lighter than Oldham, Etc.

 The Northern Ramper

yes, I remember you getting the day off. 

I had to go in work but the transport manager put a stop to any deliveries 

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

 frosty ground

 The Northern Ramper

Only South Easterlies for me. Easterlies do deliver for me but not as much as you Two. 
 

as for South Westerlies, when a front is coming up against embedded cold, not a issue, fortunately this area does not get the shield like Manchester

 Day 10

The same posters every time. Just constantly willing into their backyards. 
save that for the regionals !!! 

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

 Spah1

I don’t think so.. maybe Winter Hill and surrounding Hills would take some humph out of any showers coming from the East. 
 

the same happens here in a direct North Westerly, the showers seem to break up. 
another mystery.

The Manchester shield is very odd. 
think it’s to do with wind direction and the Welsh mountains.  I’ve seen it lash down here and looking South-East towards Manchester, you can very clearly see it looking Brighter in that direction. You can see the clouds don’t look as grey and heavy.. 

Odd.

November 2021 and March 2023 were really decent snow events with severe drifting snow 20ft drifts in the area, to have those two events in these mild times in close succession is very good achievement. 

I was not having a dig, Kasim. 
just saying having great elevation does not always give you top spot.. this week winner on Tuesday was Preston.

I'd give this cold spell 2/10 for my location.

Sorry, Kasim 

having 350M+ does not guarantee you gold medal every snow event. By the looks of things, you did not get anywhere near Bronze medal in this cold spell. 
that’s life ! 

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

This is how much the snow showers dropped during the night. Nothing here before I went to bed last night 

 

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Morning all. 
going off the radar a few beefy showers passed through my part of the region from about 3:30 am.  Roads are completely covered again.  

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Decent snow shower here. Everything covered again.. probably the last one until the next cold snap we have

I want a bit more snow, I hope to be home before it starts though.  Lots of waiting round today and various tests prior to radiotherapy treatment, looks like I'll be a little while yet.  The radar is my window.

Hope all goes well
