Well chuffed for you! 
 

It looks like it’s turning sleety in Withington but still mainly rain...

Hahaha I’ll hold you to that  

Nice work so far. So many differences across Greater Manchester so far. 

[More Runs Needed]

I'm only slightly west of you so not long now

[carl1980]

Another heavy burst,this is good

[Joe Bloggs]

Yay! Finally on the turn!

Interesting how it’s turning to snow from the west apart from in Buxton where it slowly spreading west from there 

[SP1986]

It's really struggling here.. it's mixing with rain and sometimes interchanging between rain and snow. I think there is marginality at play by the coast, and I suspect it's because there is a seaward breeze.

Went out into the country side to assess the roads for a run tomorrow.  For anyone on the Wirral - Do not !! do not go near the greenbelt roads.  Roads through willaston are unpassable, under feet of floods.

Abandoned cars stuck in flood water around Raby, Willaston and Eastham

I almost lost my car too only for it being a qashqai... at one point water was gushing over the bonnet.  easily 2 feet of water in plces...

 

Also - now snowing quite heavily

[Slidergate '17]

Dare I say it but I think we are witnesses to quite a historic event here...

[SnowThunder]

Can't tell if it's big rain or sleet, going to go for big rain being on the coast

[Joe Bloggs]

Now snow here. Didn’t take long. Loved how it turned to snow from the west, very unusual setup. 

[Spah1]

Heavy snow in Clayton le Woods 

Was not expecting this. 

[Its snowing]

Just started here in Nelson , big wet flakes .

[Steve_Alltami]

This was us an hour ago in NE Wales at 240m. Still piling down now. All of the lakes of water on the roads are covered.

[jam2010]

Not sticking yet but full on snow now!

[swainclubber]

Here we go, plenty of flakes in the rain now.

I was a bit cautious with you I was going to say 8:40 but changed to 8:50 because you said it was just rain lol

[Joe Bloggs]

Snow settling on cars already. Coming down nicely.

Too marginal here, losing it's intensity also. I think that's our lot lol, counted about 10 flakes. Chase 102 for Winter 20/21 the weekend. 

[Spah1]

Hardly back edge !
