They waved the hand over our area.

It makes me chuckle when they do that or they transition to later in the day or the next day. Clear sign they don't have a clue. Frustrating when they return to the animation and the precipitation has moved past our area without talking about what will happen in the time period they have just skipped.

Any estimate of when the precipitation band will hit our region? Seems to be travelling faster than I thought.

Irish sea pushing snow on shore

It stretches from about Lancaster to the border as things stand is weak so about 3pm I'd guess.

Only just seen the ECM high res charts for tonight into tomorrow. If this happen it could be significant for middle of Yorkshire. Well see what happens.

Think temps could be overdone here like the last previous coverings we've had. Ground is frozen solid here

It's it due to pep up a bit then now?

Currently it's so light, I'm not sure it'll survive the dale's and Pennines to give anything of depth here!

Some talk in mod thread of a second band, so maybe this is what's showing overnight?

The meto website here does show light snow all night

[Eastyorks85]

Typical where in the rain bit no suprise there could change yet though i guess. 

[Winter Cold]

Actually reading the warning is pretty rubbish, rain most places and only snow on very high ground... We shall have to wait and see I guess.

Snow symbols mostly gone tonight now but then shows snow all day tomorrow. Can't say I have much faith as it changes so much lol.

I did notice it's showing an ice day for Saturday now though! Warm up delayed until after the weekend now

And looking up... 

[waddleisgod]

Snowing in Birkenshaw and sticking straight away

 

Ground solid

Are we safe to say snow tonight is nailed ? or shall we approach with caution?

@Scott Ingham hope you are feeling better

The Irish sea does seem to be nudging things our way.

Rats, blue sky in Leeds and no radar signature.

What happens with the fronts position actually looks kind of similar to Jan 6th 2010 (my single heaviest fall - 21cm in 10 hours falling onto existing snowcover in LS27 about 200m asl). The front swings down from the north as a wave to the south takes over resulting in a pivot.

The key difference here of course is that pressure is probably about 20mb higher so there's much less moisture and energy which is why there's a good chance it may amount to snizzle.

Always caution below 100m.

[summer blizzard]

On the plus side near the coasts especially the front is more active than expected. We may benefit from Pennine uplift.

The stuff just North of us looks light and patchy 

another clump just dropped into Northern Scotland??
