Yorkshire and E England regional discussion

[AndyFromDonny]

We are actually getting some melting on hard ground between showers so should keep totals down if that continues and the intensity doesn't ramp up

 

[SouthYorks]

Appreciate what others are saying re this still being early days, but here is the Euro4 snow accumulation chart for 10am, ie right now.  Now, I might be wrong but so far I haven’t seen anyone report anything like these depths anywhere in our region.

Shower intensity does seem to be increasing so it may be slightly delayed but until some of those bigger showers start making it further inland and maintaining the intensity right across to the west, I think we may need to adjust our expectations down a bit....

If we don't manage at least 5cm across the region from this I'll be disappointed. 

Radar looks patchy at best right now though, hope to see some intensification throughout the day.

Plenty of showers heading the way of barnsley, but they just completely run out of steam. So frustrating! 

[Kirton Snowman]

We do actually have a decent snow shower now however everything is so wet nothing is settling 

[Guest]

What I'd give for a full day of the heavy snow we're getting now from a passing shower  Blows in really well... just not enough of them around! 

[caistor top]

Nothing really falling at the mo,not sure why the amber warning is in force,haven’t had anything major since 7am unless some heavy stuff is forecast

[Sheffield snow]

Some thawing of the snow cover here. The frequency of the showers is just not there. Saying that an heavy snow shower is just come through 

[Sara_south_yorks]

Aaaand what we did have is now going

[bazookabob]

This is an absolute banter cold spell for West Yorkshire There's barely a dusting and the showers give up the ghost once they get near the A1! Bring back the marginal fronts please!! Rubbish! 

[Eastyorks85]

Snow on and off through most of this morning but no real intensity to them and only last 10 or 15 mins got an  good covering but nowt significant. Sun making attempt to come out early days but has 2018 vibe about it where we get big gaps in the showers and no real depth.  Hopefully will get under an streamer that lasts at least an hour to put down few cms. Still long way to go  yet and certainly beats crappy cold or mild rain anytime.

[Winter Cold]

Surprised to see it slightly thawing yeah.

Currently -0.9c here with dew point of -1.1 so it shouldn't be, but it's definitely water drops now where it was a light dusting before.

Main patches where it's an inch or so now seen ok though

[LeeSnowFan]

seem to be under a beefy shower at the moment

Speak for yourself fella, Calderdale has a good covering of snow especially above 250m (which is a fair chunk of Calderdale) and we headed over to Bingley first thing and they have a covering North Halifax/Queensbury/Allerton end.

It is however v localised, some big showers heading in which i expect will keep their intensity.

I'd prefer a front approaching cold air. Happens Monday and we had a good fall with low 850s

[Hodgheg]

Seem to be avoiding the heaviest of the showers. Need to stop looking at the radar! 

[YorkshireLass]

It’s coming down quite fast in Sheffield 5 at the moment but only small flakes

[Snowjokes92]

A prominent gap around Lincoln at the moment. Theres more happening to North of that and that area of lLincoln is near the amber warning. So with all due respect to many members, I still think there is a lot of now casting element to all this. So I would wait and see what unfolds..

[swfc]

Just has a side note these weather apps are proper rank in the forecast

[Guest]

The ground needs to cool further I think. Several near zero days and sub-zero nights should help this week. Decent shower passing through now - loads of small flakes blowing in but no settling on the roads.

[Slysi100]

Moderate snow now

Yeah but to be fair Queensbury has a covering in July I should have specified low ground perhaps! 

[Arnie1965]

Coming down heavy now in Pinchbeck Spalding

[sparky1972]

A steady thaw going on now, lets hope the snow does go soon, what we have here is much of nothing. Forecast still says heavy snow showers but the forecasts have been hopeless since yesterday.
