It is snowing again yeah!

[Cheshire Freeze]

Showers of hail and rain here. Absolute joke how we can't get snow from this setup!!!

Shocking that. Would have thought snow with uppers of -7. Though perhaps proximity to the coast is modifying things. No precipitation at all here.

Light snow started here, looks like it could be here for a while looking at the radar...

Edit: some buses became stuck in Oldham Town Centre, not surprising very hilly in parts leading up the station and surrounding routes.
