Where in Manchester are you? I still have some lying snow from this morning, and snow showers started again about 15 mins ago here, no rain at all.

Thanks. You wouldn't have guessed it going off some of the preciptation models.

 Liverpool airport TAF unchanged also. Snow from 0500 with a chance of heavy snow. Strong south-easterly winds. 

[Winter Hill]

Starting to hate having this big hill in my back garden. The showers skirt to my South West. 

Ive always said that winter hill could not cast a rain shadow but sometimes from a North Westerly wind direction I miss the worst of the showers

Some wintry showers earlier in the day, all a bit slushy now though and only looks pretty and white on undisturbed ground i.e. fields.  Fully lowered my expectations for tomorrow with the amber-to-yellow downgrade, that way anything that does fall will be a bonus.

Do wish the MetO would be a bit more specific. The North West is a big region.

North out the game 

South in the game.

What about us in the middle ?

Lovely and snowy in Saddleworth, just having a heavy hail shower. Picture taken at lunchtime

Heavy snow in Burnley coming down thick and fast going by the pics on Soccer Saturday

Snowing again here in Failsworth - nothing marginal at all. Big fluffy flakes.
