Just shut my lads local High School in Bispham. Montgomery High... unbelievable.... slippery underfoot. No kidding.. Pavements clear and I'm only 500m away fm the school!!!!

[Snowstorm nw]

Snow is there any more for Blackburn

[Darren Bown]

Meto seem to want to keep the snow around for most of the day today so some areas could really get a good amount (6+ inches?)

[Oakwell]

Snow coming down heavily in Bolton town centre now

[cheshire snow]

Morning

About 3cm here at the moment still belting down even thougt the flakes are small

METO have this until 5pm,however no mention of it on the national weather

C.S

Very odd that the west coast is colder and had more snow than some inland locations, not complaining though and it's still snowing.

[bridgechad]

a couple of pics of the snow level in ashton-u-lyne

[R.P. McMurphy]

Weather History, looking at latest radar Irlam is under red! Heavy?

[Brass_Monkeys]

Reports of 40cm of snow in the Derbyshire Peaks!

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Just got heavier again

My word it is Chucking it down in Macclesfield and the roads are really bad.

Cheshire East you are crap.

[Cameron1]

Schools in St helens still open at the moment! We are being kept up to date on any developments. Is it still snowing in St helens as now at work near blackburn?

When I went to bed there was light snizzle here with 1.5c

Thankfully, the temperature dropped close to 0c overnight and I managed to get a cm on my balcony and the car park across the road is also white. None on the roads though.

Still, it is better than I was expecting.

Very light snow falling now, not making any difference to what is already on the ground.

There is nothing here

It tried around midnight and looks like it might be trying again now but to be honest it just looks as though its rained, so the snowless winter continues here

[chris78]

once again best snow from un forecast....its always the way......I said earlier looks like it for the day.....now I have no idea at all...looking at the radar I wouldnt be surprised if it stopped in 5 mins here and that was it...equally I would be surprised if it snowed all day....mad!......anyone got a clue which?

[cheshire cat]

Belting down in Hale when I left for work, best yet for this cold spell

At work not much in Stockport

Quite a bit more to come from Yorkshire, as it is swinging round a small low pressure circulation over the midlands. With the low pressure that was forecast for today, would've been surprised if this region hadn't received any snow tbh.

[Liam J]

Just listening to the local radio and the disruption is unbelievable especially in and around here over western areas. Carlisle to Skipton rail line is closed until they can get a snow plough on the line! Must be some large totals in places.

[shadowfax]

On my met forecast it is showing heavy snow for this after noon, where is this coming from?

[GazinBurnley]

Becoming really heavy here again in Burnley

[Interitus]

On my met forecast it is showing heavy snow for this after noon, where is this coming from?

The sky.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Really heavy now
