Same here in Sale dry

So so annoying. This last shower looked really good as well. I’ve been so badly placed in this spell. Wilmslow and south of the M60 far better placed. I think a direct easterly (rather than ENE)  is better for here.

Not just you. Look how close I came to getting a proper heavy shower. Wilmslow again

Im pleased i managed to make a few good memories playing and sledging in the snow when i was a kid because kids nowadays are screwed for snowy memories around here, feel sorry for them, some of the best memories ever.

Having a snow shower

[SnowWatcher2]

Yep.. were all doing just as badly, is there anyone on here that has actually done good from this spell, surely it can't have missed everyone- now that would be some suspicious  shizz ?

Aliens??

Some dramatic looking wintry showers in last hour or so, but not prolonged & frequent enough to cause any alarms on the roads.  Temps barely got above freezing today and already -2...could be our coldest night of the winter overnight.  Thankfully unlike a moisture laden north westerly, the snow & air from this easterly is very dry so not much defrosting & scraping of the car in the morning even with well below temps.

North Cheshire seems to have been quite well placed.

It's been disappointing here in Saddleworth but we have had some nice heavy dustings. Another one just 30 mins ago putting down a cm or 2. Perfectly timed as it's now frozen solid outside!

I'm planning to get up on the tops for sunrise tomorrow so hoping to get some nice photos.

I'm going to adopt the bolshy attitude of the MOD thread. If Saturday doesn't pan out to an epic snow event for the whole region I'm officially calling winter over.

[Spah1]

Well, with the complete lack of snow I guess the competition is a bust.  Everyone did worse than expected and most people have 0cm lying snow. 

[Weather-history]

Snow shower just passing over here now.

[BlackburnChris]

Just scraping the edge of the latest Shower , looks really heavy on radar

Exactly what I expected Spah1, more sunshine though which is good thing

[robbo88]

Managed to get a photo of the boys in the snow. Not as much snow as I'd hoped for but pretty non the less.

Saturday looks brutal

Look at those dewpoints, a -17C dewpoint?! 

If the temperatures are realtively high in comparison, the air will be incredibly dry.

My area not done too bad at all, fair enough I can't claim any snow depths above 1cm, but since Monday evening there has been lying snow everyday, and the patches that have melted in direct sunlight during the day have been filled in with snow showers during the evenings and nights.  Seems like Buxton (no surprise)  and I think the Glossop area have faired better than most, correct me if I'm wrong.

I am in the minority here I think its been a good spell ok no good snow depth apart from higher ground but a few slight coverings lets face it it could have been a mild Atlantic fiasco another snow shower has just gone over the airport totally unexpected another few cold days to come.

Raging blizzard incoming! Bound to get a the single flake in my eye taking the dog out

It did a poor impression of a raging blizzard when it passed over the Rossendale Valley while I was driving home from work.

Was pretty heavy and gave a slight covering on the pavements and cars but passed through far to quickly.

Good example of what happens after they leave higher ground wasn't it, especially now the wind has gone

You remind me of me. Glass half full type of bloke.
 

Living where we live we should be very happy with this winter. I wouldn’t say it has been a “classic” but it has been cold and I’ve lost count of the number of days it has snowed. Numerous little coverings. Many at 4-5cm and Storm Christoph (or should it be storm Chris) slightly more.
 

Before anyone jumps at me I’m talking about south Manchester. I also have low expectations and easily pleased which for snow round here is the best way to be, trust me. 

It we get a 10cm fall here before winter is out, and it lasts more than a few days, I’m calling this a classic winter for here.
