Same shower got us too here in Manchester suprisingly, a nice this covering
by 22.00

Yes, although looking at the flow of showers on the radar it seems
like more of a straight easterly now than a NE.
Funnily enough, I was thinking earlier on today how an easterly
would be a little better than a NE for snow here.
All other things being equal there is less land to cross and perhaps
more importantly, the showers aren't crossing the Pennines
at such an oblique angle.

Dare I say it, the radar even suggests 'more on the way'?
