Coming down a fair bit heavier now where I am in south Liverpool. Too little too late but it's starting to stick to cars,walls and grass

The whole band has lost intensity quite considerably in the midlands and Wales. Game over for NW England I think.

Yep

I will count myself very lucky I saw what I did.

They haven’t, they’ve reduced the warning area south to exclude more of cheshire.

Very disheartening to follow this all night only for it to nkt reach me. Another 500-1000 uards and i would have been good lol 

[Backtrack]

My Nan in Chester tells me it’s heavy and covered there. 

[Winter Hill]

Region is a joke.. how the hell do Shropshire and parts of the West Midlands do better than us from a North Westerly ???  

If the wind is from the South East then we are in a shadow.

Painful living here 

[Makemeasnowman]

Definitely trying harder here the place is very slowly turning white

Cheshire gap effect, much further inland and higher altitude generally.

It is snowinghere though. Very fine snow. I think whoever has it now might be suprises later on

The map has moved the amber extent south about 10 miles more than it was yesterday.

[Day 10]

Massive flakes here now, must be at least half a mm! Can't cope

Got a nice covering here mate. Trees are all white and cars are skidding down the side roads. Doesn't look much on radar but it's covered everything.

 

Sorry, won't let me delete the quote. Lol

Anyways,  the apps (yes, I know they ain't the weather gods) and they say snow then nothing then snow again later? Is that some random intensifying or another blob of precipitation?  Out of loop as away from laptop and my charts and bookmarks ?

[Darren Bown]

Northern edge of the radar has been sinking south again over the last 20 minutes.

I’m still in Surrey packing up for what is going to be an arduous journey home and it’s snowing!!

Don't worry, after your journey through the white hell of the Midlands I'll have the BBQ lit and sun loungers ready at home if you want to call in for a burger and glass of Pims.

just wondering whether to cut the grass now or wait until later.

It reached Ashton in Makerfiled which is about 3 miles south of here and then decided to turn back 

[Day 10]

43 of us in here even though it's utter s##te!

[Acupuncturist]

On the will it rain radar it has the system pivoting and then the northern edge moving back across manchester from the east. Net effect a bit of drizzle as the snow shield repositions and the snow shadow comes into effect

[northwestsnow]

and the 00z runs are quite painful too.

Roll on summer..

[benricky]

Still snowing lightly here. A tiny patchy covering but beats nothinh 

[NickR]

You must have snow up there from yesterday’s showers? 2-3cm in Summerseat, and Rossendale normally at least double what falls down here.
