Cold air not meant to arrive until 6pm, our chance has always been through a Cheshire Gap streamer, could see a few flurries through the evening, more if over 200m

[WillinGlossop]

Snowing again now....

Bulk of the heaviest stuff is a bit too far south as i thought.

Rain has got quite a bit heavier here just now.

It's got that look about it...that it wants to turn. Do you know what I mean? Does anyone else see it when we have marginal or rain to snow events? Or am I talking nonsense?

Don't worry about the heavier stuff, that was never really forecast to reach these parts anyway.

Would have cleared the region by then, infact it's not that  far off clearing here already
