I fear many people who saw lots of snow today will be suffering from a new recently discovered psychological disorder. Post traumatic snow melt depression or PTSMD for short!

Well just got back from a drive up to the moors and it is severe, visibilty was down to 40m and there was a good 5 inches of snow there, it just happened that we went up when the heaviest precip hit us and when we got back down to our house there was a nice covering of 4cm.

Well, the heavy snow has arrived in Rotherham and I have to concur with DS regarding the Sheffield conditions. I have just done a journey from Dore across the ring road, and seen numerous places where cars have skidded off, watched a car skid continuouslu up a hill, had a few myself which I was confidently able to control.

By the way, there is one gritter out on the ring road so half of it was okay, the half I was driving on was pretty bad though.

Awesome stuff. At long last, the snow is falling intensely and over a long period of time. It is even intense in Brinsworth, the worst place in South Yorkshire for snow.

yep ive got that alright!

Still coming down, bigger flakes now, tracks on the lane from where I came back an hour ago have already disappeared. Looking at the radar it probably wont last much longer.

Looking at the radar the second front appears to be coming in pretty fast - whilst it seems generally accepted that this will be rain further south, would anyone have an idea what can be expected from it when it gets here ?

Hi Cloud10,

It's not really settling too well here, only where snow already lies and a wet dusting on the roads.

Could be a heavier spell of snow heading our way accroding to the 20:20 NW radar.

Any idea what your altitude is? I think i'm in one of the lower parts of Stanley at about 195m.

According to google earth i am 715ft asl.for catchgate,stanley.

Still steady snow here,not sleety at all.

Thats good, just need some of that heavier stuff to get up here and it could settle at lower levels.

Up here I think it's gradually turning more to proper snow but still pretty light.
