Didn't really get in on the act on that last shower, might have been in the gap between the two clusters.  Still I'm happy with my snow fix so far.  Lots of speckles on the radar out to the east if they can somehow merge together we could still have an interesting night ahead.

Strange... blizzard for a solid 30mins in chadderton you must be very unlucky dodge

20mins? Is that a typo?

[Darren Bown]

Wow what a day. Snowed overnight with scattered showers from the off. Had a decent spell for the last hour with a good six inch now on the ground

I got some light stuff, but I'm very happy with what's fallen past two days.  The unlucky one's are those just west of Manchester because the way that shower died a death was slightly worrying.  It almost evaporated into nothing between the 5 minute update.

Now I'm keeping the eye on the blob/streamer east of York now.

If it lives I reckon it be 8 ish or bit later?

 

[cjp96]

Showers firing off the north sea, lets us pray?

Still light? Its been a full on blizzard in lees for the last half hour and half an hour before that in chadderton.

[Darren Bown]

How much snow is there in eastern Manchester compared to western Manchester?

[jam2010]

Longest period of heavy snow this week looking at the radar kr shouldn't be this jeavy right now but it is.

[Chris.R]

 I think it’s gone!!! 

[pip22]

Hopefully the showers will go through the less hilly bit which is called the Ribble Valley.

Yep OL8 didn't do to good on that last one, OL9 & 4 very much better lol

[Weather-history]

Seeing the snow being whipped off the fields was amazing. I can't recall the last time I saw that hear. Shows just how powdery the snow was.

 

[Winter Hill]

This is why I love anything from the east or North east. No slushy crap,  just proper powder snow. .

[Darren Bown]

also, what’s sapping the energy? The showers seem to make it over the Pennines but as soon as it gets past Manchester they die. Is it the very low DPs?

[Astral Goat Juice]

They literally die as they get to Eastern Manchester. Pooooor 

[Darren Bown]

I actually think that the radar is struggling with the echoes due to the extremely low temps. Look at 7:00, then 7:05. Everything lowers in intensity within 1 frame.

Amazing ECM 12z tonight,keeps us locked in the cold through next week...
