Flooding likely. Eek. It was bad enough at the weekend in the mids.

Warnings everywhere today. Snow and rain.

Lots of rain here and plenty in the night. No school run though. Child isolating.

The Mersey is pretty high through South Manchester, despite opening the flood gates in the water park, and the rain is still hammering down.
I'm expecting flooding nearby at this rate.

It's snowing heavily here now. Sticking to the rooftops, cars and grass despite the wet.

Yes we have snow coming down fast in Trafford. Very strange storm.

@FlatteredRhubardFool - I'm a mile and a half away on fairly high ground. The dam is not a concern as it's been drained since the slipway was eroded and they are working on repairing it as we speak. The River Goyt is very high though through the valley below is and we're due snow overnight.

@wowfudge I think WB is 7 miles from us and we are downstream. We are uphill and a mile from the Goyt though. We have a complete covering of snow now. Even the road that was wet through less than an hour ago from the rain.

DP has just told me our glass kitchen roof is completely covered. I hate constant rain and I'm no fan of snow either!

It'll be bloody icy tomorrow I bet.

It has rained in Manchester pretty much constantly for 2 days. Sometime between 8 and 9 tonight it turned to heavy snow and it is sticking despite how wet it has been.

Also Mids. We live in the corner of a cul de sac. We never usually hear rain at the back of the house due to it being pretty sheltered.

I’ve had to turn the TV up tonight to hear above the rain. We are in a village & the lanes I need to go down to work were bad enough today - heaven knows if they’ll be passable tomorrow.

No snow though. Only rain & wind.

I love the snow! It's so pretty! It's still coming down here and everywhere is covered.

There will have been no gritting due to the rain. Don't think I'll be going anywhere except for a walk tomorrow.

I just hopped on here because my cousins near Manchester have snow that they say was not forecast at all. Bummer.

I hope there are no nasty snow surprises in store generally.

Winter wonderland in the Peaks.

Snow still coming down, about 3 inches now

Pic didn't attach

The gritters were out here just before 9pm.

Snowing in Leicester now too.

It's been wild in Leicestershire for the past few hours. Really coming down.

crikey...

now snow here though.

Chester has flooded terribly

I don’t know what people are doing about evacuation ~ where do you go in a pandemic ?
