The weather Gods felt sorry for us and decided to give an early Xmas present.

[NickR]

Derby off after all?

[Miamay]

Lovely snow

[SP1986]

The models did not call the mechanics of this at all... It seems we have a type of lake effect snow in some parts

Snow getting heavier here now and starting to add to the couple of cm already on the ground.

as others have said, a bit of a surprise this one and possibly justifies the willow warning, assuming it hasn't already been removed.

[snowdrifter]

Come on - reach the Fylde Coast. Seems very slow moving whatever 'it' is  - I've been looking at the same clouds/sky for about 30 mins now. 

[Frost HoIIow]

Precipitation on the radar seems to be filling in and expanding a bit, this was not predicted? interesting non the less.

[Backtrack]

The odd proper fat flake thrown in now too. Must be getting ready to belt it down

It aint expanding anywhere near this hell hole thats for sure.

Mate - its been snowing since 0700hrs and I may have 1.5 to 2 inches. Its been too wet beforehand and dew points too high this morning. Its a case of what could have been here even though its fallen.

No consolation I know, in the Forest if Dean about 15 miles from here, they have 12 inches plus!!!! All if and buts I guess.

[Makemeasnowman]

Intensifying and sticking slowly now to surfaces here in south Liverpool 

[hailseizertoo]

Decent snow falling in Wavertree. 

[chiffer]

The forecast from the meto 5 hours ago showed absolutely no ppn over this way at all at 3pm.

a lake effect has taken place and looks to be intensifying more and more.

[ChezWeather]

Well guys, this shows how un-predictable these kinds of events are

Mate it just happened!!!!

[Darren Bown]

It’s coming down decently now. Not settling too well as it’s the middle of the day.

[Had Worse]

Really coming down.

We might get an inch plus

[Staffordshire]

Looks like you guys got lucky after all, For Northern midlanders, it makes it even more painful.

[Weather-history]

That area around near Southport is bizarre, its hardly moves. Its almost as if it is developing there and pushing outwards. Bit like a line of showers constantly developing at a spot.
