Dying out now, could be thats it for us

[Acupuncturist]

The snow seems to have pivoted around my house ! On the radar forecast you can see snow band starting to move North along its more eastern arm towards Sheffield. If the forecast was to carry on a bit further I wouldnt be surprised to see snow moving North just to the east of me as well as snow just to the south and west. Having said that it looks like its all starting to lose intensity anyway

[AderynCoch]

I'll also add that if London was forecast to get the kind of snow that's been forecast for the southern part of the region, I'm sure they'd get a red warning. I'm sure they got one in December 2010 when they got less snow than the NW did (and we definitely didn't get one then).

[Troubleatmill]

Yes so please be pleased for us in the south of the region -many many many times have we been snowless or bypassed when others in the region get snow from the east or north- let us enjoy it while we can and 'celebrate' with us rather than complaining that you haven't got any !!.

LOL i do agree, however feel sorry for us guys on the lancs plains, Northerly, easterly, south eastely, whatever 'ly' we get nowt lol, must move its no good!, guess doesnt help when some folk are saying 'stall' meaning nowhere esle gets any though, bound to wind a few up on here a little

Just take a look. As it's moving over the Mersey it's growing in intensity & expanding.

Latest UKMO MESO model still signalling a more northward push of light/mod snow into N Eng during the afternoon and into the evening.

[sal007]

looks very unlikely the heavier stuff is going to get towards Preston now. heavier PPN around Chorley, Bolton etc seems to be dying away now.

from the east perhaps?

[Munchermark]

Well looking at the NW radar i think its gameover for the oldham area

[Cheshire Freeze]

OK where's my foot gone

[Joe Bloggs]

Front is fizzling away, can't see Manchester getting much more out of this. Ironically we have done better this morning but could well have a dry afternoon! Total opposite of what was supposed to happen.

Things could change this afternoon though, we'll see

[AderynCoch]

Wow, must be at least six inches in Crewe already.

[SparkleS]

Well its still snowing here, twiddly bits here and there lol, although we have a heavier covering than we did last night and this morning and on the grass abit, its still not even an inch deep here lol

[UV-RAY]

Dying out now, i do hope that wasn't it.

[Backtrack]

@HotCuppa, looks like that's all folks! Unless it pulls back west, which I doubt.

[Osamasbinsledgin]

Pepped back up in last hour, Sons school now closing, bad for parents, they should have heeded the warnings and not gone off dumbed down BBC/ITV output

[GazinBurnley]

Just arrived in Bredbury near stockport,journey from Burnley was uneventfull,no snow until rawtenstall,then got a little heavy around jct 18 at simister,then very light all the way around the eastern m60 here to Bredbury,atm its very very light snow which as just about covered the ground

[Cheshire Freeze]

Best snow event here for 10 years+..... easily

[paul12345]

This event isn't fit to lace December 2010's boots.
