Starting to get a slight covering now

[Had Worse]

Coming down like a blizzard.  Really windy and settling.

Well the rain has certainly been heavy here. Pouring it down.

Same in Talke mate.

[Sn0wmad79]

Snow turning heavy here now. massive flakes and close to blizzard like.

[dodge]

Stirred from a slumber by the sound of heavy rain pounding the windows.  Weird that its snowing in places just a few miles up the road but I was always on the fringe of the amber warning.

[Andypvfc]

Can we bank these for this weekend

[severe snowstorm]

Absolutely bucketing down with rain here. If this turns to snow further North and East, you're in for a real treat, that's for sure. Ppn seems to be racing NE at a rate of knots, looks like it could be dry here in 1-2 hours time. Faster than I expected.

Woke up to a covering. 
 

[Weather-history]

Snowing here now

[Winter Hill]

Some huge flakes coming down.  Think it will turn to rain soon 

[Iceaxecrampon]

Wet. 

[shadowfax]

Just took the dogs out. One turned around and went back in!! We have no shelter in the field from an easterly and it’s a blizzard out there. Horizontal snow in a strong wind. I can’t tell you how deep the snow is because it’s drifting but there’s more than previous falls this winter!

We have got our “pasting” but shame it won’t stay. 

[Manchester_Sunset]

Heavy rain mixed with wet snow.

Snow. 50p’s and steady. Must be back edge stuff?

Large clumps of snow mixed with ice pellets when lighter... still pretty heavy 

[Winter Hill]

Seriously coming down here.. horizontal in the strong wind 

[Weather-history]

Strange, thats the 2nd back edge of snow in the last 3 weeks but for different reasons.

[WillinGlossop]

Crazy heavy really strong gusts blizzard

[Its snowing]

5 inch of snow in Nelson already.

[severe snowstorm]

Dry here now after back edge rain. 

[WillinGlossop]

Wind is whipping snow into drifts... hard to tell depth... clouds of snow blowing off rooves.... 

[Had Worse]

All done. But it snowed yay. Seems to be melting pretty quickly.

Next course.. thunder and lightning. 

[The Northern Ramper]

Avoid Milnrow

[James M]

Fascinating, went to bed with pouring rain but have woken up to a couple of inches on the ground. Happened the opposite way I was expecting! 

[Frosty the Snowman]

A covering of a cm to an inch or so I imagine. Impressive more for the fact it's somewhere between the 10th and 15th snow day this year than depth. Seems to be doing it's best to rain on it since I woke up around 5 though with a good old 'wintry mix' 

 

Looking a radar it looks like just in wrong place, and wrong side of marginal for anything disruptive, snow to both north, south and east, should be impressive if shortlived totals further east and high up though!
