It's a combination of ground temperature and intensity that governs whether snow will settle after rain (as well as how heavy the preceding rain was). Was an event many years ago I remember from t'other side of pennines where it rained the entire day (to the point of the road being covered in surface water) but the snow still settled as the temperature dropped overnight, think a layer of ice formed for it to settle on. Want to say it was late in 2013 but I don't keep records, so heck knows. We look okay for intensity and ground temperature tomorrow and there doesn't appear to be that sort of amount of preceding rain to worry about.

 

MetO going with some snow showers tonight as well to get us in the mood.

In the 3 years ive lived here , (first moved to little harwood in Blackburn) Theres a massive difference in Snow amounts now Ive moved down the road to Darwen.

Your elevation probably helps. Some of those hills in Darwen would give Scottish highlands a run for money.

 

Event I was referring to was over in the North East though, remember it well because I was completely convinced it wouldn't settle, went to bed and woke up a few hours later to a decent snowfall.

Darwen is a little higher than Little Harwood. 

I’ve seen the difference myself when driving up from Bolton and over the tops into Darwen. Get into Blackburn and it’s very different.

 Endothermic melt cooling is a big factor as well. As snowflakes melt they take in heat so they have enough energy to change phase. This cooles their surroundings. Eventually the melting process is slowed and can even be halted. Same thing happens with evaporation; hence evaporative cooling.

Latest text forecast

A risk of snow and ice, especially on Tuesday afternoon.

This Evening and Tonight:

Wintry showers will spread further inland this evening and overnight. Any snow accumulations will be confined to high ground in Cumbria and Lancashire. It will be chilly everywhere though, with a patchy frost and a risk of ice. Minimum temperature -3 °C.

Tuesday:

Rain, sleet and snow showers will continue across Cumbria and Lancashire in the morning. A band of afternoon rain, sleet and later snow will leave accumulated snow more widely. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Wintry showers will continue on Wednesday mainly in the west. Thursday will be dry and bright but with a snow risk overnight. Further wintry showers are possible on Friday.
