It doesn’t look like it from the BBC forecast I just saw, just showers piling into the NE mainly, with scattered showers elsewhere

I think thats the last for  here then, a nice 2cm covering this morning certainly beats most winters.    Does reinforce (as if it were needed) just how difficult it is to get substantial and lasting snow on the west coast, when you start to think about everything that has to go just right for us, its a miracle it ever happens.

Snowing moderately with decent sized flakes YEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!! no work tomorrow

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Also laying with ease

[I Cumbria Marra I]

5 minutes of this and we'd have a dusting

The pennines and fells will see to that

Have you seen anything yet marra?

[Mountain Snow]

Cracking winter's day today. 2 cm of snow and sunshine to start then heavy and light showers through the afternoon. 

Temperature already at -2.4C and potentially lots more showers to come over night.

lightest of dustings you'd ever see this morning, a couple of 5/10 minute snow showers at work (sellafield), then just had another 5/10 minute light/moderate snow shower. Feels freezing.

Go to 17:25 on the radar and look at the shower east of Penrith, then go to 17:50.....

Nice shower is showing east of Manchester but I think it will narrowly miss me as it has a slight southwest direction.

By the way, it is extremely icy here and I was pleased to see all the snow has survived in Piccadilly gardens

Nothing here for hours. The trough must’ve been fuelling the showers and allowed them to pass over the Pennines. Now that it’s moved away, all of the showers have too. 

 

Rubbish. 75% of today’s cover has melted.

Was just thinking the same... it's as a 'blob' like potential but I think it's going to effect Denton/Stockport and nudge south of my locality.  Oh well, one's loss is another one's gain.

I think southern parts of Man like Wythenshaw and the airport area may well get it.

Most likely... although last 5 minute frame has a direct eastwards shift instead of South East... or maybe I'm just being hopeful, but it would be nice to catch a glancing blow from it at least.

Tantalisingly close! It would be great to at least scrape a covering on roads and pavements again.

[Had Worse]

Another direct hit from that poky  shower.

All is white again now that sun has done one.

Could have 4 to 5 " outside door by morning.

Quite like it to give me a glancing blow here! I’m just a little too south. If it hits Wilmslow that could be enough to stop my gardening job there tomorrow morning as these showers seem pretty ferocious the last one gave q good couple of inches very quickly and caused chaos!

[itsnowjoke]

-3c here now

[WillinGlossop]

Really heavy powder snow.... -3c

[severe snowstorm]

Snowing moderately.

Yeah we might be too far north, with a bit of luck we might get the northern edge of it.

[robbo88]

Moderate snow from said shower blob 

[Joe Bloggs]

I’m hoping this blob will get me in Withington! 

[Mokidugway]

Big nob to my south ,ppn viable in sunset.

[karyo]

I can see it from my window. The horizon gone pink.
