Just looking at temps for next week and GFS Ens Mean has us below 0c for a week!  Could that be considered a cold spell!! 

Might trigger cold weather payments.

This is the EURO4 snow depth for mid-day on Monday, as far as it will currently go.

There's going to be some budding tobogganists in the next week with all the run off freezing.

Yeah! Old school icycles as well!

Moderate snow and a temp of 0 here at 1700 ft on Holme Moss above Holmfirth. Can see this road being closed soon.

That streamer will shift north progressively 

Agree with this. GEM shows it heading north on Tuesday and making it up to North Yorks, before heading south again.  Also worth noting GEM has a second streamer running across North Yorks Moors WSW so that would be a direct hit to Leeds, if it happens as predicted!

The A6024 is usually the first followed by the A57 and finally the A628.

Radar snap shots show how the rain is turning slowly to snow.  Hopefully in a couple of hours it'll be down to low levels.

Not sure which Radar you are using but I was told a few years ago, and reminded this year, that the Radar colours are not an actual representation of what is happening.  It’s a combination of ppn as seen by Radar and combined with input from models such as temps, dewpoints and other factors to predict where it will be rain, sleet or snow.  I assume this is still the case...

When gererating the GIF, change the red ringed setting to 1 to slow it down.

I think you are correct on that assumption, i have heard the same.

Also just to add to the streamers discussion, some lucky  places will be direct hit of the heavier precpitation. But its worth remembering when they develop, the outer layers of the streamer can be bulky and merge with other showers around it. So it just shows you don't need to be directly under the middle of the stream. Countless times in the past I recall streams heading too far North or South of my location and getting the edge of it. You can still get a lot and like I say showers can merge against them, bringing more places in the action. They don't always develop as a straight organised stream. They can be clumps of precipitation on the boundarty layers if that makes any sense.

This info needs to be pinned somewhere. Save the endless, 'it shows snow but its still raining over me' posts

[Muffelchen]

Still dropping temp steadily and is now 3.9°C but the humidity is still 99% so no dramatic change here: this is what we should be looking at along the coast for the change and then the snow should follow soon afterwards as the temperature drops.

Not too wet here and has been 'spits in the wind' for an hour or two and only 5.0mm here so far, although everything is saturated. The clay soil in my garden has water sitting on the surface, which does not bode well for any rainfall, especially as we are in a pump-drained catchment here. People focussing on river flooding in the Hull Valley should really focus on surface water flooding: the lessons of June 25th 2007 have still not been fully learned.

Massive upgrade that  

[Barking_Mad]

Quite why the Met Office haven't changed the yellow warning to rain I don't know. Just driven from Leeds to Pontefract and back and the conditions were horrendous, especially the motorway.
