Elevation was the key today! Slushy mess here 

[Hodgheg]

We got away with all snow here for the main event. Now just drizzle with the odd flake. Looks leathal out there. 

[LeeSnowFan]

Was happy with what we got!  starting to thaw quickly, will be gone by tonight I reckon! but still plenty chances left this winter!

Friends in Leyburn had to dig themselves out this morning, they are hoping to get to Lytham St Anns!

Well I only learned this morning that the ppn type radar is not accuarate, its model driven! I did actualy think the radar could distinguish between a rain drop and a snow flake (which should be possible nowadays) but alas it is not!

I wont be taking as much notice of it now that I know that

Well, I've learnt something as well then.  I was under the same understanding as you.  I shan't bother taking too much notice in future. ?

True that!  

Still can't get my head around how the heaviest precip appeared West of Barnsley, then disintegrated when it got about 10 miles away then only for it to reform heavier again to the East!

Speak to Jeremy Vines! ?

Still snowing at Linton, wind has dropped, flakes got massive but now smaller again. Got about 1.5 cm maybe more.

Rubbish as expected here again, just heavy rain throughout. A couple of weeks to go and it'll be 5 years since we had any measurable snow in the winter months (Dec, Jan and Feb).

Surely our luck has to change at some point.

[Allseasons-Si]

Hirlam for early hours

[The PIT]

Beeb way over top it's just a light snowfall. Shouldn't really cause an issue.

[NorthYorkMoorsSnow]

Still chucking it down. 

[Love Snow]

Got about 6cm here.

Rain alarm just beeped so looks like another shower heading this way.

Outside Tempreature at 0.5 

So can't complain.

Would be nice but I'm not buying into it.  None of the other models (Arome, Arpege, NMM, GFS) show this (other than maybe   Snow over the highest ground).

yes Reef .......poor old Hull gets nothing again. ( only an Easterly or a North Easterly with very cold uppers delivers snow for Humberside nowadays )

 

snowing on the wolds near Bishop Burton right now though !

Well that was a bonus. 4cm of snow. Now stopped and never turned to Rain. So we are still in the cold sector.

Or maybe not as we just went from 1.4C to 2.3C in the space of 15 minutes-cue snow melt!

Conversely the Met Office has just updated to show 3 hours of snow for this area tomorrow morning.

2.5cm here in Bingley with just the odd heavy burst.

Underwhelming again.

The next batch over the Irish sea will only give some hope to peeps above 300m.

In the plus side,models and meto outlook aren't too bad.

 

[Craigers]

Nice blanket of snow around Leeds city centre! 

[The PIT]

Steady thaw as expected with temps of 3.6C showers beginning to move in from the north west and it will be interesting to see what they fall as. There's another band of more organized precipitation and that's worth keeping an eye on if it gets this far.

Tonight looks like round two or possibly three depending on today's showers and more organized precipitation.
