I'm utterly speechless. Nothing whatsoever here in Horwich. 

Apparently there is falling snow, North, South & East of me. 

You are not alone, just rain with the odd bit of hail to the east of you in Ramsbottom, strange when there seems to be snow at similar elevations. Have missed all the intense ppn, so I guess less evap cooling.

Maybe not.

Some very beefy showers look like they are on my track and may be on yours too.

[WillinGlossop]

Yep a few more showers heading in....

Off to Buxton I go, the trains are still running so that's not too much of a concern. Woodhead currently has 20min delays with traffic backing up but all the other routes (so far) are quiet.

I have a view from the upstairs window of the traffic lights where they fork for Staybridge. There is absolutely no traffic visible as I type.

Think the next shower here will be wintry rather than snow 

Kids have made the most of it..went sledging earlier

[Chris harry]

Woodhead and snake pass closed

[northwestsnow]
