Not measured the snow here, but several cm's i imagine. Still coming down, although should clear in the hour according to the radar (the heavier stuff)

[Harsh Climate]

A measly 5/6cm here, nothing to wriiiiite home about lol

Serious or jokes?

Looks like the snow over Sheffield is getting towards the end of its deluge. Which is a shame, was looking forward to a day of snow being dropped on us. I can't complain at what we've had overall though, last night was a fantastic amount of snow to top us up.

Can anyone inform me if we are to expect anything more in the next few hours? Meteoradar shows the tail end of it fizzling away over us.

[Derbyshire_snow]

This is the photo i took 45 mins ago still Snowing.

[Harsh Climate]

Serious or jokes?

Serious, I'm in the town centre now, seems to get a lot less than the outskirts. Just up leeds road a bit higher my dad says he's had about 4 inches, should never have moved out lol.

[Zak 92]

Damn meteoradar just tricked me and played the radar backwards and made me think the whole front had turned around haha

I'm at 150M ASL atm and there's a good 8 inches of snow. Perhaps the surrounding hills killed of the precipitation.

[Snow-Capped]

I live in Haworth and woke up to a great covering this morning, easily 15 cms on the car and street (the drifts in surrounding areas were easily 30cms or more). Still managed the daily commute to Headingley though and it only to 1/2 hour extra (via Bradford). An impressive amount in and around Headingley though bearing in mind it's low altitude and close proximity to Leeds Centre. Looking forward to further flurries on and off today and a cold night to come.

[BA Baracus]

I work in Roberttown (live in Huddersfield). I've not even attempted to make the commute.

A good decision as the A62 is blocked from Birstall right back through to Huddersfield. Strange this is that motorways are empty - most of the queuing is caused by BMW's that can't cope in the snow with their rear wheel drive!

[Mark Griffin]

Thats our lot for snow in south Yorkshire. Must say i'm pleasantly surprised as i though it would just miss us.

You sure it's still coming down here on Border with Sheffield.

Think it might have been the temperature been just a bit too mild as I'm quite low down now. lol in 2010 we got as much snow from just one snow shower as we have got from 4 entire snow events this time round..

[Mark Griffin]

Sorry i mean the heavier stuff, light snow yes for another hour or two.

[Machu Picchu]

Anyone heard from AdamLUFC or has he been snowed in not that he will admit it.

I spoke to him when he woke up, he was in shock and very excited about the deep snow view from his window.

In fact i'd say he was ecstatic.

[Derbyshire_snow]

Polar Maritime has posted saying he has 40cm!! in the Peak District at 300m!!

[Mike]

Anyone who is saying we have only had 3-4cm of Snow must be blind we have had 15-20cm herr i Dronfield on the Border with Sheffield.

Maybe not blind, that literally is all that has settled. Had an easy run this morning on the M62/M18. I guess a few miles west or south would've made a big difference..

Or maybe i need a new ruler?

[fazzafarrand]

Nearly stopped here

1.1oC

Slightly falling off cars now though

Without measuring exactly around 2-2.5" / 6cm

[Just Before Dawn]

There's still some convection going on off-shore, though it's notreally any great shakes, so that does correspond with the localforecast this morning, which suggested show showers on and off all morning and into the early afternoon.

[Pipine]

There's definitely only been an extra 4 or 5cms here overnight (heeley).. but up at my parents in totley they've had about 10inches apparently.. so fairly large variations within Sheffield.

Me too, i've been recording 15cm on the yard and street, double on the unexposed fields and there looks more than a lot of photo's i've seen with higher totals, some much higher..

My tape must be knackered so its now officially 25cm here.

Although my total is fresh snowfall from this event, it excludes snow cover from Friday as its a bit cheeky to record a 6-10cm head start unless stating combined lying snow cover.

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Finally had a decent covering still snowing all but lightly

[Aaron]

Just went for a long walk - snow depth well above my ankles, even on the pavements, and drifts reaching the half-way point between my ankles and my knees. I'd say we have 15cm of level snow, possibly higher, depending on where you walk.

[LeeSnowFan]

Well this morning it was light and falling snow, now it's still snowing but the sky has gone really dark and snow is starting to get heavier again,

[sunny scunny]

Light snow again for the last half hour or so, and the temp has dropped below freezing again.
