I'm getting worried

Now the heavier precipition is moving in, it appears to be a sleety mixture

[Craigers]

very light snow now and it still looks dry type! impressive indeed

[sunny scunny]

The heavy rain just keeps going here, but it should clear away soon looking at the radar.

[davem3man]

snow here for last hour

[Cheese Rice]

If the band carries on weakening then we may well stay in the cold air, and if we do then the next batch of precipitation could start of as snow.

Temps remain consistent at -1.9c.

[fazzafarrand]

Still snowing in LS11

Been snowing since 9.00am

everywhere covered and with out measuring I would say 3-4cms

Better than expected

Im suprised that your area hasn't done very well today.Im just hoping we get another cold spell in a few weeks time.At least i won't be putting the heating on much in the next few weeks

It would seem there is just too much warm air in the mix because of the Easterly component to the winds.

Still, It's good to know that others from our region have done well. I enjoy the radar watching whatever happens to be honest.

yeah it's good to read reports of other members doing well today, and im not disappointed because it was always going to be rain here.My area has been one of the luckiest so far this winter as far as snow depths goes anyway lol.

[Love Snow]

Heavy snow in Leeds now been snowing for the past 2 hours and getting heavier!!

3 hours now in Leeds started at around 9am

biggest flakes of the morning so far

quite heavy also

[Cheese Rice]

The front looks to have stalled, a little northwards movement for a time but its current position is where it should stay, unlikely to see any intensification, likely to become light and patchy with the odd heavier bursts.

[the Steward]

Been snowing in Sheffield since 8am this morning and is now just light sleety grains but it was really heavy for a time.

The roads were initially very bad and off the main roads still are.

We have about 5cm.

Some of the biggest flakes I have seen atm

[Lewis]

afternoon guys, up most of the night with the little one so only just gotten up now!

We certainly have had some rain here, must have been chucking it down for a good time, still raining a little now. Looked back at the radar and appears Lincs and East Yorkshire got the heaviest part of the band with some really intense echoes.

shame it was all of rain.

good to see reports of lying snow, especially to lower ground, whats the accumulations for you guys at lower ground, 2-5cm?

Would love to see some pictures, with measurements (ruler).

regards

Low ground seems to be about 2cm but where i am at 200 mts its about 5cm.

Light sleety drizzle has now turned back to light snow here again.

More pics from south east Sheffield. 200mts ASL.

[Terminal Moraine]

6cm here but it's now stopped snowing and started drizzling. The temp' is 0.0c so a slow thaw beginning.

[Craigers]

slow to moderate thaw here! snow is very slushy! trying to snow again but more sleety! EASTERLY PLEASE COME BACK lol

[fazzafarrand]

Well I think that is it

4 and 1/2 hours of snow

still snowing but becoming very light

just been out in the car around the White Rose in Leeds and even the main roads are quite slushy

this has been alot better than suggested

I would go for about 5cm or 2" of lying wet snow

bigger flakes mixed in agin now......

Stopped now after 5 1/2 hours finished quite wet sleet though

not bad effort for snow to rain (not had any rain yet!!!)

We've had 4/5cm here with no rain or sleet untill the very back edge where there was a little drizzle

All in all quite pleased with what weve had, just a shame that the heavier stuff was towards the south east of me or it would have got very interesting!
