Even the lightest of PPN started as snow here. Costa Del Wirral at it again?

Seems so! Not surprised though. It's currently 2C with a dewpoint of 1C but the wind is bitter

is it a reasonable reason to move house based on snow? 

Was a genuine factor for me.  Wanted to be near Crewe but on a hill. I have no kids so no schools etc to think about so this place is perfect.

Yes. One of the reasons I chose Edinburgh when transitioning from Master's to PhD was because I knew the Winters would be colder. Now that I'm here though I realise Birmingham wasn't half-bad in Winter!!

I’d love to live in Buxton at some point in my life. 
 

Snow from all directions, a nice town, beautiful countryside with a rail line into Manchester.

I studied at Edinburgh, thankfully I was there in December 2010. Now that was incredible.

Haha. They go really quick, as genuinely lovely street. Stunning views over Cheshire and SO much cheaper than Nantwich/Sandbach. I got this 3 bed terrace house with big long garden (and views) for £123,000 4 years ago. Barely would have got me 2 bed apartment in Nantwich/Sandbach haha....plus when it snows then it SNOWS. 

That last belt was off the scale for 40 mins. Reckon might get a tiny bit more but more concerned about temps being projected as above freezing.

Radar is looking ok for a bit. Might get a dusting out of it. Need skies to clear if no more PPN on offer later. What’re your thoughts?

I reckon we should all do a lottery syndicate and when we win just buy a street up there.

I'm infinitely jealous. I was in Essex at the time; it was an excellent month but it didn't have that truly Arctic feel that everywhere away from the south-east had -- a very dull month and rarely crisp and clear.

Shower activity now further north in Northumberland, just need wind to become more of  NE flow, and preferably ENE and some of those showers may make it across the Pennines.

We've dodged so much snow opportunity this past week, apart from the cm overnight 30/31 Dec. Please can we have some!

Most of the town is above 300m ASL, what a dream! The area near Poole’s Cavern is really nice.

If we get a proper, deep cold easterly then Edinburgh is a wonderful place to be. The showers move in off the North Sea and intensify as they reach the Forth estuary. So much snow. 
 

Edinburgh is a wonderful city regardless of the weather - enjoy.  I really miss it.

The wrf nmm 2km shows some potential overnight and tomorrow morning, especially east and central cumbria.

Given the opportunity I would move to Alston in the north Pennines which I think is a bit better for snow than even Buxton, I was considering it but I know the missus wouldn't want to move there even if I mithered her about it. Snow isn't worth ending your marriage over haha.

Check out the snow that they get up there, very decent.

NE Flow looks promising but the N Pennines are having the usual soaking up effect.

Little even getting this side of the A1 now so unless things change and a trough forms, I’d imagine that’s it for this snow event.

quite happy to be proved wrong though and open the curtains in the morning to another foot of snow
