I think that’s the dandruff still coming over the Pennines rather than the front.

[joggs]

Light snow in Bingley(east of peninnes,starting to settle.

It a band developing in front of the front lol

[SP1986]

Settling comprehensively here

[Chris.R]

Quite a bit heavier now and it’s starting to stick but it struggling as there are some raindrops Mixed in somehow. 

[Geordiesnow]

Be interesting what this ftony does as the GFS ppn charts suggests it may still over part of the region for the most part if the day, not sure if I want that here as winds are forecast to increase during the day which may mean thingsay get more marginal but it will be interesting too see how it behaves.

Still snowing light to moderate, flakes slightly bigger now also.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Im gonna miss it cant keep my eyes open!

[Osca31]

Done pretty well from this. Easily a couple of cm on car and  still falling steadily.?❄️

Getting heavier again!

 All snow again now sticking better. 

[Alister]

Odd flake now falling in Worsley, still -1c in the Ellenbrook frost hollow so anything that falls should stick!!

 

[Thunder Snow]

Nice couple of cms been snowing since about 3 am steady and still falling

[damianslaw]

Snow has intensified a bit, so all surfaces now seeing a covering, probably have 2 cms. It is very light stuff though, but the front is stalling so it could be early afternoon before it leaves the region properly, some Pennine areas could hold onto it well into the afternoon, the combination of it stalling means less chance of it melting quickly this afternoon in any sunshine, it is looking a cloudy overcast one in the afternoon, temps will struggle to get much above 1 degrees, and then drop rapidly as skies clear late afternoon, could be a lovely sunset if the sun comes out. 

Pity the front is weak, a very decent snow event would have occured. Alas it is looking like a proper snow day. 

Must now go to work..

Dandruff falling now, its getting a bit heavier, I'm in South Liverpool atm

[Spah1]

[Joe Bloggs]

Despite my earlier post, the front does now appear to be weakening slightly in the last couple of radar frames. 

Should still make it through the region though.

Getting lighter here but is starting to stick

[johnwirral]

Dandruff sticking on cars, grass and roofs, very close to the sea here.

[Nailed-on Nigel]

Snowing lightly in Ellesmere Port. Flake-size hard to estimate, but at a guess pre-decimal. Nothing on the cars yet aside from bird faeces.

[pip22]

Its getting heavier in Blackpool

[toccylad]

Snowing in Mossley hill

[Geordiesnow]

Looks like I'm at the stage of its snowing but it has stopped accumlating and some slight melting happening, was good whilst it lasted and as Damianslaw says, it's ashame there is not a greater intensity to this weather front but still, the most snow I seen since Jan 2016.

[NickyB]

Almost stopped here, very slight dandruff ?

[Mokidugway]

Heavish snow adding to the 2 /3 cm already laying  false dawn brought to my attention this morning, always brighter than should be ,lol
