Funny isn’t it. Places on this side of the region have had their best powder snow event since 1996. Shows what a mixed region we have 

I would have shi te rather than mixed ..

And quite true - Irish Sea to the Left - Bowland and the Pennines to the Right and flat as a pancake.

Exact same down here too

Irish Sea, Welsh Hills (although they are to the west), flat as a pancake and then the Pennines.

A real cruel place to live if you like snow.

Not the greatest pics but just an idea of the kind of snow totals we've got here so-far. In area's of drifting it's significantly higher with reports of Buxton practically being blocked in all directions with queues now over onto Long Hill, Fairfield Rd, Leek Road, Staden Lane, etc.

The showers are getting close now but I think I will be in the gap.

Mind the gap

7” here and it looks pretty impassable to drive up out of the village

Back to the green green grass of home LOL

Journey home heavy snow through the Midlands then about 10 miles from Crewe became much lighter and patchier

More showers to come will they beef up as they hit land?

The problem is that the Pennines are not really eating up the showers though, it's once they get near to the coastline that they fade rapidly, the clouds I seen today are anvil like unlike yesterday where they looked more cumnimbus/cumulus type. Got to say the same happens on the east coast at times so there must be a meteological reason for it.

We had some sparadic snow showers today but blue skies are never too far away so they don't last long.

Yes Blizzard in Balderstone - heading to Preston.

[itsnowjoke]

Sun back out now lol 

[Penrith Snow]

Best snow since December 2010 in East Cumbria with depths 10cms to 15cms, I recorded 13.5cms here.

Much more than forecasted and I might get a top up tonight.

Great spell, easily beats anything in last 7 years.

Yeah coming down quite nicely.

(my other posts havent been about this cold spell, this is snowmagedon by Preston standards)

[Thunder Snow]

sunny spells and a thaw here

St Anne's today - so sunny and snow starved in an Easterly... 

[Geordiesnow]

Well just looking at the North East thread and they are getting thundersnow and proper blizzards and all sorts, only something Lancashire could ever dream of but wIll very rarely get, bit of sickener when you used to live there and your back there in 2 weeks, wish I booked my holiday for this week!  

Im thinking the main reason why the showers are dying a death near the coasts is because the air is way to dry, the dew temps are impressive you have to say but it seems to be sucking all the moisture out sadly. 

Oh well, only good thing about this region weatherwise is that you can enot proper sunshine and heat in summer when the conditions are right.

Belting it down now
