Streamer setting up. Heading straight for me!

currently light snow falling. Covering

A little snow shower in progress here.

None of us should expect much convective activity tonight - nothing is forecast bar a couple of isolated showers. 

Edit - looking at the radar, coastal areas may catch a few showers over the next couple of hours

Found some images of the winter of 1940 

photos took on the main route from Horwich to Bolton ( top of Chorley old road) near scout road. About 5 mins drive from my house. About 900 feet above sea level 

 

Edit

first photo is on the road from Bolton to westhoughton.

 

My parents always said that the snowstorm in 1940 possibly January but not sure was heavier here than anything in either 47 or 63.

a hell of a statement to make given the mythical like status those 2 have reached but aparantly the level snow was over 3 feet deep.

big question is would it have warranted a Met O amber warning or being up here, would a yellow have been enough

Im preparing to go for a wander as there is a shower incoming, it may part over my area, but lets hope not.
