Well, wasn't expecting this

A good 2 inches in 2 hours and still coming down heavily. The council have beem caught out as no roads have been gritted and even main roads are lethal.

Please send some south....Nice images....

Excellent pics there, Simon.

I've been watching the radar and at one time it looked like the PPN band was going to head towards east Merseyside/North Cheshire, but it's now moving more ENE'wards towards Manchester. I expect the northern Peak District is going to get some decent snow cover from this little feature

Excellent pics....I would settle for that .

Amazing - you could almost be fooled into thinking it was winter LOL.

Carfull Simon, some the coldies are in a delicate mode atm, the sight of that snow porn will send them over the edge

More or less - they tend to do well in a few different cold set-ups.

Last March, we were in Wrexham a week or so after some really heavy snow. Our snow had all melted during a week of sunny spells, but there was loads everywhere and, where car parks had been cleared, the banks of shifted snow were over 6' high (and many yards long)

I remember Bren posting pics from the area a few years ago when they also got a load of snow - his parent lived round there IIRC

Report from Mrs S says it's been snowing in St Helens, but nothing's settled.

That will be the next complaint after the non dreading etc. 10ft of snow everywhere, all cut off, where's the gritters and ploughs?

Here is a picture showing the size of the flakes:

Looks like we might be in for more over night.  I'm on call tonight so may be a bit tricky getting to some sites, as Telecoms towers are usually in the highest points of an area things could be interesting

I'm not jealous at all

Crikey what I would give to have just an hour of that right now, I will then let this winter off for being a complete pile of pony

I'll just continue to look out my window at the rain, floods and rising river levels

Snow porn is no good for you... You'll get photokeratitis

Meanwhile just down the road and hill in Chester - we did see a few sleety bits of rain and then cold rain!

Martin

are you referring to the Coms tower behind the Pondarosa cafe?

Was up there last April.  Still have over 3 ft of snow on it.  Was impossible to walk on, lots of fun though as strangely it wasnt that cold.

aye - a few people reported the same in Ellesmere port too.

Lovely little feature that moved through though.  lovely vortex about it on the radar.

Hi Russ, I work on various sites, my area covers North Wales over as far as Buxton so get to see some interesting places, not to mention weather!
