Woke up to a blizzard and deep drifts! what a brilliant spell of weather!

Constant heavy snow for hours here now! Getting on for a foot with drifts 2 or 3ft. All school closed, roads are ridiculous.

Its funny they’ve issued a red warning down south now but nothing here when it’s been none stop!

We don't count! lol

Just an extra inch overnight on top of the 5 from yesterday. Snowing lightly all morning, wind really getting up, lots of spindrift.

30 to 50cm expected in parts of Southwest!!!!

[dr snow]

Yep - those of us on the East side of the region think are doing very well.

Here in Marple and toward Glssop we  have 6" with more in drifts and sideways snow. Some raods are near impassable

For us our hopes was on storm Emma so as that's a miss I wish you all happy snow.

M62 closed at Milnrow, snow ploughs trying to clear it.

Tameside prioritising high routes and requesting people not to travel.

Yes, this is a right tonking now, I'm surprised traffic is still flowing because I cant see this being passable in Scouthead or Lydgate so would imagine we are cut off.

Non stop moderate and heavy snow for hours. Massive drifts from snow blown off fields only 5 mins from here on Ashworth Rd. The road is under there somewhere. Must be getting on for a level 20cm everywhere.

That wind has been one constant rumble all night very strange

So lastnight it makes it across easy, today the wind is stronger but it doesn't get any further than Manchester but looks more organized!

Stronger rain shadow effect due to stronger winds?

[itsnowjoke]

-4c here

[Miamay]

Is bitterly cold out this morning. My pond has frozen 

[Weather-history]

Snow has been slowly intensifying over time here.

[Chris.R]

WTF come on Emma!

[HafrenLMP1]

Apart from the initial fall in the early hours of Tuesday morning, which had largely disappeared by the evening, it's been disappointing. Plenty of flurries yesterday night, but nothing more than a dusting.

I though that happened more in Manchester, here we are normally ok being slightly further west.

Unreal scenes here, m62 closed at milnrow, no cars moving on side streets, amber if not red it should be
