[Love Snow]

Snowing like mad in Normanton

[SnOwFeSt]

Weird, all falling as rain/wet sleet at calverley (west leeds). And I'm 120asl here as well! Strange when hearing reports of heavy snow at lower altitudes just a few miles away!

[Bradowl]

Heavy Snow in Rotherham, wasn't expecting this.

[weatherguy]

Can report snow in Sheffield

[the Steward]

Huge snowflakes in south sheff. Settling on cars and paths

[Richie V]

Very heavy snow here sticking to everything. (darton, barnsley 330 ft asl

[SnOwFeSt]

Hmm, turned more to sleety snow now in calverley (west leeds). Very heavy but no where near settling, far too wet. Surprised at reports of settling snow just a couple of miles away tbh!

[Winter Cold]

seems its turned more readily to snow than forecast?

Paul Hudson on Look North said 'wintry showers' which to me isnt snow lol. Looking at the radar this is a general area of snow!

Lovely

Turned sleety here. It's down to how heavy the precipitation is - heaviest stuff has moved away from here and is affecting areas around Castleford and Rotherham.

Haha, in yer face model output discussion

[summer blizzard]

Parents now reporting heavy snow.

 

In Armley and the temperature and dew point are now both 1C, definitely sleet.

 

I'm off to the shop, will report back.

I had a feeling snow would fall - there are always little surprises in store. I recall one event in 2011, February I believe, when no snow was forecast to areas below 300m, yet a few cm fell.

[Richie V]

Temp... -0.2 dew..... -0.8

Both falling

[Gaz1985]

It's turned to snow on the M62 summit in Saddleworth and Calderdale (about 400m asl), was rain up until 10 mins ago.

[Mark Bayley]

Can report snow here in Broomhill, Sheffield. Settling on cars and road, just! Wasn't expecting this

[bazookabob]

Little clip of the moment it turned from sleet to wet snow in Garforth- 86m asl. Still sleeting and snow in the heavier bursts so a nice bonus for many of us tonight! Here's to a long winter of it!

Looking out the window at snow is much more enjoyable than looking at endless high pressure in the charts!
