From the security cameras, we’ve got a covering at home in Barnsley snd it’s still snowing moderately.
We’ve been down in Helmsley this morning where it was raining quite hard, but back in Hutton le Hole and we have light snow, but only really starting to settle on the grass. A couple of miles up the road at The Lion on Blakey Ridge there is now a good covering but the road is still passable.

Rain showing on security camera at home in Barnsley. Home weather station reporting a temp of 2.2c and a dewpoint of 1.2c so currently not low enough for snow.
Still dry looking out of our holiday cottage window in Hutton le Hole. Weather station in the village is reporting a temp of 0.5c and a dewpoint of -0.8c so even looking marginal for here.

matty40s Don’t go as far as Meadowhall (J34) as it’s not dual carriageway into the city and not the most direct. Best route which is dual and straight into the city is J33 (Catcliffe). I don’t know if you are aware but there are lengthy roadworks starting around J30 all the way up to J35a with a 50mph restriction, so allow extra travelling time.

Meto have updated the snow warning for Thursday moving southern extent further north. Watch out for much gnashing of teeth in the Mod thread from those living in the Midlands south.

Ironically I’m away from home staying on the edge of the North Yorks Moors in Hutton le Hole this week, and quite often have seen snow whilst staying here in the past but this year it looks as though there will be more at home in Barnsley on Thursday than here.
-
Temps gradually rose here during the day reaching a peak of 14.5c at 7.20pm! Completely bizarre for a January evening.

We had a few flakes between 10 and 10.30 but nothing since. The heaviest ppn is too far North and anything that get further South fizzles out over the Pennines before it reaches here.
-
Currently dry in Barnsley with an overnight low of -1.9c.
Looking at radar, ppn is 50-100 miles further South and appears to be moving South East rather East South East as compared to models and last nights local forecast. If it continues on the same track, and what is shown further North West, then we may see a covering before the end of the day.

Overnight low of -1.6c and a high wind chill. Out walking at Langsett Reservoir this morning, which was lovely in the sun but bitterly cold in the wind and shade. I thought we might get an ice day today, but temps now upto 1.3c at 12.30.

Whatever happened to the potent northerlies we used to get down the east coast with frequent heavy snowshowers.seems to be a thing of the past
Agree! Northerlies always seem to be diluted when they actually arrive, often switching to North Westerlies. Although to be honest Northerlies rarely deliver for anyone other than those on the coast and maybe NYM (wishbone effect). Personally, I prefer a strong East North Easterly as that benefits a wider area and can often generate streamers.

Any chance of that band north of Newcastle making it to us later?
Looks to be fizzling out to me, so highly unlikely.

GFS 12z going for significant snow for mid week. Could just do with it being 50-100 miles further North before a further plunge of cold moving South.
GEM offers a different option with low missing us to the South and snow inbound from the North by the following weekend.

Another throughly miserable day with constant drizzle all morning and temps upto 3.9c.
Next week looking colder with a chance of snow, and depending on which model you’re looking at, it’s likely to fall somewhere between John ‘O Groats and Lands End!
Just picked up this Fax chart from the mod thread, which certainly looks interesting with a series of troughs heading South towards Scotland in the Northerly flow, but wondering if there might also be some precipitation on the cold front that is straddling our region at 12.00 Sunday. Uppers initially probably too high for snow I think but wondering if there might be a chance of back edge snow.

Had some drizzle and a few spots of rain yesterday as well.
This morning is dull and yet again a few spots of rain in the air. Radar showing light showers moving in from NE and interestingly shows a mix of sleet and snow on the Weather Type option.

Fabulous pics @Gary0679
A foul day here today with lots of showers in the very strong wind, and despite the weather station reading 11c at lunchtime, it definitely did not feel mild. Even the dog wasn’t bothered about walking today.
I lost a perspex pane out of the greenhouse overnight, but managed to get it back in and it’s now strapped down with elastic bungees!
Unfortunately it was recycling bin day yesterday and numerous bins were blown over so today the streets are full of metal cans, plastic bottles and paper rubbish!

Yeah, cold one last night. Interesting though that my ‘overnight low’ actually occurred at 8.14am, when I got to -3.5c

Still grim out there this morning and feeling chilly even though temps 4.1c with more rain to come today. Over 33mm of rain in last 24 hours combined with snow melt has produced lots of standing water. Fields have water running out into roads and even the football playing fields near us have water standing on them.
Prospects for later this month are looking stacked with potential. Last night 18z threw out some interesting charts in the period just before Christmas and 00z Ensembles showing a gradual drift down in temps again after some less cold temps this weekend.

Was snowing moderately for the dogs last walk at just after 11pm and temps were still -0.1c. It continued to snow until around 1am after which temps slowly started to rise and the ppn turned to rain. We’ve had light rain most of the night but lots of the snow still remains this morning, so it’s making it treacherous under foot. Temps now 1.5c and rising. It looks like we are in for a couple of miserable days, cold but not overly so, but lots of rain until end of Tuesday and possibly with more to come later in the week.

Temps and dewpoint continuing to fall, abeit very slowly. Now -0.1c temp and -0.3c dewpoint. The heaviest ppn is passing just south of me but continuing to snow lightly here.
-
Still snowing steadily in Barnsley. Now having to watch it on the house cctv, as I keep getting glared by the dog every time I get up to look out the window to look at the lampost!

Good to see you back @Craigers This morning I was wondering where you were, as you are usually fairly active in here when snow is on the menu!

Temperatures still appear to be dropping, albeit very slightly - now down to 0.0c. It will turn soon, but you'll be good for a few hours yet (especially in any heavier bursts).
Yep, same here in Barnsley. Now down to 0c Temp and -0.2c Dewpoint and continuing to snow lightly and accumulate on all surfaces. We’ve probably had about 1cm since it started mid afternoon, so not significant but a nice surprise as was unexpected.

Just rain here despite a temp of 0.1c and a dew of -0.1
Interesting, I have exactly the same temp and dewpoint and only 100m asl compared to your 150m, but I still have light snow.

Just been out to walk the dog and we still have steady light snow which has now given a good covering on all surfaces except the main roads. Cars struggling on hills again even with a slight covering. Temps now down to 0.1c and dewpoint -0.1c, so hopefully we might squeeze a cm or 2 this evening and tonight before the forecast rise in temps.

A misty chilly day and only 4c at Castle Howard. The sun tried briefly to show itself but failed.
More rain forecast for tonight onto already sodden ground is going to continue to cause issues and then a drier start to next week with average temps before more rain and less cold from the middle of the week.
