Just checked radar, that band has really developed over night. I'm sure it'll reach here but the big question is, will it be snow?  

Yes. I’m under the blue stuff and it’s fine snow

[Slidergate '17]

Very light snow starting here, doesn't look marginal at the moment, dry flakes sticking on impact.

[jam2010]

still pretty light but gritter went passed so that could be a good sign!

[jam2010]

Just as i posted it has now got pretty heavy yay.

[More Runs Needed]

Getting heavier now, looking very nice, hopefully it's cold enough for when the main band hits

[jam2010]

Coming down nicely 

[Joe Bloggs]

Snowing here and the radar looks great! Settling instantly. 

[dodge]

Light snow, laying a covering down.  Will probably be a blizzard by the time I have to drive to work in a hour or so.

[Spah1]

please don’t go south! 
keep coming you can make it !!!!

Yeah a good covering now and still coming down.

I’m just glad that I looked out of the window before reading the posts as it looked at one stage like my thoughts of it missing us and crossing the Pennines further south may be coming true.

anyway looking at the radar we should get another hour or so before it clears through so maybe a covering of 50mm or so in the end.

[Spah1]

I’d love 50mm ! 

[Joe Bloggs]

Looking at the radar Manchester is going to take a direct hit surely? 
 

Could be a good event this, just need the temp to stay down.

Hope it has legs to get over the hill. 

Not a problem getting over the hill.

Still frosty out there, come on snow you can make it. Pathetic isn't it, the Mrs thinks I'm mad! 

[Spah1]

 

I’m dying here. 
Please  just 10 miles further West!

[wrightc23]

A few flakes have started falling here.

It should hit you surely, as I say Preston southwards should get moderate to heavy snow. 

I mean the front up here is so weak I can see the setting moon although looked like a few flakes fell. Luck of the draw really. 

[severe snowstorm]

Lol! Another metoffice nowcast fail. This is apparently just 'lingering wintry showers' across the region!

Enjoy the snow all. Just started to fall here!

 

[Joe Bloggs]

South Manchester is turning into a winter wonderland. 
 

Absolutely brilliant.  

If the temp stays low we could do very well out of this. 

[More Runs Needed]

Snow turning thicker now

[PennineMark]

Good start to the morning here. Settled on frozen ground easily. Temp down to -3 overnight and went up to 0.6 as the cloud came over. Now back down to freezing. Looks like another hour or so still to go.
