Oh there's a surprise, weakened as it got here again. Time for bed I think... 

Total snow depth... 3mm maybe

Is anyone around the Haslingden/Ramsbottom area? I've got to drive up there tomorrow afternoon for a few days and I've heard there's a bit of snow around...

Why are you using my pictures??

Just an extra cm here to top up yesterday's snow. A bone chilling -4.9*C out there though. Proper winters day.

Making winter tyres a legal requirement would go a long way to solve this.

Oops. Sorry mate. Top one is mine! Didn't realise I'd attached all the ones below.

[Deep Snow please]

Looks like that should affect Preston to Manchester and surrounding areas. Tracking SSW'ly so hopeful it should get here. Looks quite a prolonged shower as well where it does hit.

[More Runs Needed]

Trams are a mess right now, buses slow, good luck working today

[pip22]

Big snow shower coming our way. Good job its slow moving!

Should arrive in 5-10 minutes I think but maybe a bit sooner it seems it is fast appraoching me!

But winter tyres would only be better than normal ones for a couple of days each winter, most of our winter months they would be worse. What we really need in this country is car manufacturers to stop fitting normal cars with summer performance tyres from new, all cars in the UK should come with all season tyres, if you want high performance ones for the summer you should have to buy them separately.

I got a feeling it will turn foggy tonight. No wind at all here a perfect ingredient for fog/freezing fog.

Looks like the Irish Sea is kicking into life, showers are back building, hopefully can get into full streamer mode.
