The gap between the main band and band over Wales is one to watch. 

If this fills as it rotates north would explain the 10am finishing and probably guarentee 10cm somewhere!

Gotta say I'm not at all convinced by the Amber warning, the band has already reached Dundee! It's snowing moderately, but no sign on radar of anything more than that imminent? 

[bazookabob]

Current scene in Garforth, maybe a cm and coming down fairly well with flakes about a 6/10. 

[LeeSnowFan]

It's slowed quite a bit here needs to perk up if it's going to last til 10am

Nice start to Tuesday

 

[bazookabob]

Fairly heavy when you're out on it, 1.5cm only though so far. Drive to work might not be as has as I feared. 

[Bradowl]

Good covering here in Rotherham, looking at radar I'm surprised how far front as advanced North East since I came to bed at half 11. 

[bazookabob]

1.5cm on the wheely bins but am inch on the grass having checked both. Still coming down heavy but smallish flakes at the no.

I feel the band may have gone through a lot quicker tham forecast but there are showers merging in behind closing the gap to the area of precipitation coming out of wales

Hmmm ice pellets currently. This could well have alll gone through a lot quicker than models expected. Ill see when the next heavier burst hits

[Harsh Climate]

Check out the next band expanding with deeper colours towards manchester, this is what's going to do the damage this morning!

Usually first signs of it turning to rain though as I speak a few bigger flakes start to fall.

Back to flakes mate. Was just the lack of imtensity after the first band i guess

[LeeSnowFan]

Picked up here too with bigger flakes 

[bazookabob]

Well the M1 East and North of Leeds was white over and I was the only car going south for miles which was a bit alarming. M62 not so bad, salt had melted it apart from Lane 3. At work in Cleckheaton now and similar to Garforth, there's about an inch with moderate snow falling. Looks to be some heavier stuff en route but no chance this will carry on until 11am going by the radar... Was supposed to arrive in Leeds about 3am but it was already in Edinburgh by then!

You should get a much better second covering this coming weekend.

Hope so,only a cm or so here but if I used a southern tape measure there’s about 4 inch

[Aaron Roberts]

Morning all, lots of snow up here this morning. Approx 6" and counting.

Looks like the kerbs are vanishing here! Looks like it might end up 15cm!

[Bradowl]

Looking at latest radar I can't see this Snow lasting all morning as some predicted, couple of more hours at most is my guess unless front comes to a grinding halt which is unlikely.

We need big flakes this dandruff is boring lol 

[Danns]

The back edge of the band is very intense, it’s this that probably prompted the amber warning, should hit South Yorkshire soon,
