Manchester can have some very odd local variations! 

It has stopped now - left a slight dusting here.

Very light snow settling on frozen ground 

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Same as everyone really- very light snow left a dusting - not been a bad little spell really- had a few days of lying snow and some frosts over the last 10 days-

much better than last december

Shower track was traced to the North Fylde coast (Fleetwood), looks to be a good direction for me and areas of Oldham to benifit later as the next clumps of showers are already on the way.

might be rain by dinner time tho- that shower was very marginal- higher parts might keep their cover until later tonight

Photo does it no justice. Large flakes sticking with ease. Pleasant surprise. 

[toggerob]

Freezing cold last night out at the local, wasn't sure if it was just the temperature or the dew-point but there was frost covering most surfaces from 8pm. I wasn't too surprised to see snow this morning given the beeb had a area of rain passing over the NW on the 1am forecast. A nice surprise overall but nothing that will last given the temps are around 6'c tomorrow morning.

[The Northern Ramper]

A bit here for once

[Chris.R]

Above 5°C now here, probably won’t go below that again for a week or two. Oh well.

A week or two? Bit optimistic no? No guarantee of course but mild muck does have a nasty habit of locking in for weeks on end, then before you know it, March is fast approaching - the days are noticeably longer and another winter has been tossed into the bin marked "fail"
