light snow in mottram

Gad to have allayed some of our concerns, I just hope as the weather develops more will see sense, it is a rewarding job, but have to say I have lost two long term entrenched rough sleepers in the last week, who just couldn't break the habit. I Was working yesterday so gonna enjoy a day of radar watching and watching the white stuff float by the window.

I actually work in the city centre neighbourhood team and spend a good proportion of the day helping to refer rough sleepers into emergency accomodation. We have cold weather provision on all week at the methodist hall on Oldham Street; but in some case the sad reality is they do not want to engage; or incapable (spice) etc, short of marching them into the temp accom theres little we can do. I would also be mindful that some already have acccom, and that some of the best begging and sympathy donations from members of the public come in cold periods. Some people just do not want to engage and take the risk, stupidly I might add. On a weather note, its snowing a bit harder now and sticking on cars etc - yay

Yay snowing in mottram, albeit light but a good sign

Looks like Narnia out the window bbbrrrrrrrr finally some proper snow.

Same here in pal, in mottram

Heavy snow in mottram yay ! Starting to stick.

It's snowing again mottram and the front seems to be spreading back towards Manchester which weird as it was clearing before now seems to be going westward again how is that possible?

I'm guess monks road is fine then ? Shame really been snowing most of the morning but not enough intensity, God knows what it will be like when freezes later.

Thinking of having a drive up there in a bit. Love watching the clouds roll in from town from up there crack in spot.

Snowing albeit lightly do we think intensity sat just outside of Liverpool might actually make as far as east Manchester? The ground will be saturated and with -6 being forecast tonight would be like an ice rink no matter what now.

Brief hail/sleet shower

All snow flakes now, getting more intense, sticking to cars but nowt else yet.

Don't say that otherwise I'll be going for the bath and toaster option.

Cheers guys, fingers crossed. I tell you what @Had Worse your lad could with getting some mettricks pies down his neck, he' s like a bloody racing snake !

Do we have any ideas when the uppers will drop to give us more of a chance ?

Ha ha no way just served me lol. Pint of doombar, poured to perfection I might add.

Sounds about right, balls to it it's cheap and I'm par taking in my other great love as weather watching letting me down whereas a pint of San Miguel never does. Cheers.

Two blokes on one with dark hair and tuther with a pinny on - bizzare. Let's hope we get some tonight pal.

Could be worse I'm sat in the Wetherspoons in glossop surrounded by the great unwashed and watching the cold rain teeming down. Jesus H where's all the bleeding snow ?

becoming much more sleetier here in Mottram with wet flakes mixed in turning to snow in heavier burst. Let's hope this gets better later this evening.

Mixture of snow hail here in broadbottom near mottram about 130 asl ?
