Matt Taylor on BBC Breakfast just said the snow will turn back to rain across some parts of Yorkshire this morning.

What snow?! 

 hopefully they wrong again, when they said several centimetres possible last night I knew it was game over lol

[Danns]

BBC and Met Office still showing heavy snow icon. Currently light rain.

Just to add to our misery it's snowing in low lying places like liverpool 

Couldn't write it, the north west has now on the whole done well off a front from the north, west and east. What do some people have to do in here to catch a break?

This is the reason I was so confident we would have snow. The last two events that have given 1-3cm were never forecast, they finally change their tune predicting quote “several centimetres even down to low levels” and outside looks like aqua land.

Yeah snow all around us. I'm not giving up until the precipitation has all but left lol. I've seen crap events like this suddenly flip in our favour at the turn of a hat, not often but can happen just need this temperature to start going down the right way.

To be fair the uppers on offer over the last week or 2 was never going to give us big pristine dumpings.

Let those  in the west enjoy there 1-2cm cos if that SSW digs in later this month and can deliver us brutal cold from E NE, we could beat there totals 20 times over  

[Danns]

Further I’m sure it wasn’t predicted to be that far west, in a half an hours time it will be loitering about in the Irish Sea. I’ll keep the faith though like @Harsh Climate

A few areas high up in western parts of Sheffield reporting a thin covering on the roads which is proving very tricky as it is just making surfaces very icy. A work colleague of mine in Stocksbridge has already seen a few cars slide down her road.

[Guest]

Slightly old radar image but the point stands. Looks like our last chance from this cold spell and it will be a painfully slow journey!

[The PIT]

Drizzle ligth rain / sleet was snow earlier on but the temp rise has turned to rain. Going out with a whimper.

[SouthYorks]

Slightest of dusting on the drive this morning, but now rain!  Another one bites the dust!

[stupotlee]

very light snow here in Penistone.

There's a thin covering over everything, but traffic is moving on the main road without problems.

keeping those fingers crossed for you all to get something out of this before it fizzles out

[The PIT]

Fat lady singing here turned to heavy drizzle, light rain so out with a whimper.  Going to quite a bit black ice out there for the unwary.

[bazookabob]

Turned to sleet in cleckheaton now so maybe some hope for those higher up! 

[Tim A]

Bit of a mess really.

Snowing here at 0.6c , but only a wet covering on the grass and some bits of the pavement and road .

However this event was never going to be straight forward deep snow . 

Euro4 shows more of a covering developing as the day goes on but borderline for here, more to the NW.

[boyzie]

BBC breakfast forecast still showing snow for the rest of the day. Hope they know something we don't.

[York-snow]

Rain and 2.5 deg. Actually feels warm too

SPOILER: they don't! 

[Winter Cold]

Was hoping we'd wake up to a few cm like we did on 29/12 but a bust here.

Radar bears no resemblance to the TV forecasts last night. A lesson and reminder that even at T0 snow is still hard to get!

Ah well, roll on SSW, other chances to come this winter I imagine

[Schnee]

Woke up to no snow but it's now snowing in Crossgates. Looks heavy on the CCTV camera.

[NorthYorksWeather]

Currently in Kirkbymoorside and it’s heavy wet snow which is leaving a slushy mess. Higher parts of North York Moors getting pummelled.

[Harsh Climate]

Temperature down to 1.1c and big blob should hit in an hour, think the fat lady isn't quite singing yet.

[Winter Cold]

No chance here I don't think, dew point is up to 1.1 now

[Harsh Climate]

Few flakes blowing around in the wind

[Guest]

Yes the dewpoint is creeping up but worth noting should any heavier stuff reach here later it would likely force the snow parameters more in our favour.

All very marginal though  

Current (full) snow line looks to be about 250m or so? Here in Grenoside we're at 220m and it's sleet/wet snow and very light.

[Schnee]

It may be sleety wet snow here now but it's settling on all surfaces except the road.
