A mixture of sleety rain and wet snow here so far (more the former). Hoping to see some proper flakes come the evening. 

Sleet has turned to snow in Manchester City Centre. 

Edit - back to sleet again. Gonna be one of those days. 

The first lying snow of the winter here with around 1cm, although looking a bit slushy.

Does TWO have an animated version of ths?

Now lying snow from Manchester to Merseyside. Some lying hail giving the impression of winter, but that's the best we have.

I heard a traffic report that where the M58 meets the M6 was like an ice rink, with vehicles sliding all over the place, and an accident causing major tailbacks

Conditions were quite poor on my way into work in Warrington today. Very heavy hail just before 8am followed by predominantly rainy sleet causing a layer of white slush on the roads. Urgh

First proper snowfall of the winter here in Lenzie. Heavy showers over the last hour or so and a few inches now on the ground.

I assume you mean “NO lying snow”?

Clear blue skies here for once, and untreated roads are fairly lethal after the overnight rain. Running across the station car park to catch my train turned into a brief Olympic speed-skating impression (styled it out of course 😉)

Er... yes.

Thanks!

Looks like something white is falling OVER Dartmoor and heading this way:

You're a snow magnet now Tally!  

Overcast looking dark looking west - it's coming! May not be snow but looks like a slushy deposit over Dartmoor!?

I anticipate a fall in temperature and any rain to turn to sleet or snow - but doubt there will be any accumulations or any slushy deposit will see - but either way precipitation is expected within the next 10 mins:

Eldest daugher called me from school [tut! tut!] to say it's snowing really heavily in St Helens and sticking.

I can see the PPN on the radar, but unfortunately it looks like it'll pass within the next half hour, and there's nothing showing behind it in the Irish Sea. 

The PPN blob looks like it's coming in on a straight westerly, so Manchester might get some before midday.

Sounds good for here then. The size and intesity of the snow earlier was magical. Potentail for an inch or two out of the trough for the Peaks and Pennines if it holds together.

Snowing quite heavily here in Warrington suddenly. Coming down thick and fast! Very wet ground though so not really sticking

Isn't it really annoying when the first half hour or so of snowfall is wasted putting down a slushy base for the actual snow to begin to stick on and accumulate.

We seemed to have a lot of these snowfalls in the 80's and 90's, because I remember one snowfall in the 90's where I was made up because the snow began to fall on frozen ground and began sticking straight away; recall thinking "at last!"

Heavy wet snow still continues over Dartmoor!

Still spits of rain here in Exeter and with hazy sunshine still preventing temps from falling and lighter precipitation will mean it will stay as rain! - It sounds icy in heavier bursts though!

It is quite annoying because that shower we just had was pretty decent and an alright length and it is still snowing lightly. It was only just starting to take to the cars and creating a little bit of slush on the ground before it slowed down. It will now no doubt just be wetter on the ground ready for the next snow shower to do the same.

There were some lovely big flakes though which was nice to see.

Now looking sleety :(
