  1. Had a reasonably heavy snow shower at 7.30 this morning then light snow/snizzle ever since. Temps been below 0.4oc all day and currnetly -1oc. Very patchy dusting here, none in the city center but drove upto ringinglow an hour ago and it was like a baron wilderness. The wind was blowing the snow around on the road though again, only a dusting.
  2. Snow falling in west Sheffield. Totally unexpected. Paul Hudson said an odd wintry shower on the east coast but the radar says otherwise!! Settling instantly.
  3. Squall line just passed through Sheffield. Amazing to watch from the front door. 5 mins of absolute chaos. Calmer now but still raining.
  4. Moderate sleety snow this morning with some massive flakes in it. Now turned to heavy rain.
  5. Very wet and feeling cold. Temp actually falling, now 5.5oc
  6. Nice storm passed just to the north west of sheffield this afternoon at 15.45 but we managed to get a short burst or torrential rain and 5 close flashes of lightning as it passed by. 2 hours later I could still see the folk lghtning from it as it was over the doncaster area.
  7. Heavy/torrential rain for 30 mins after 10pm accompanying a weak storm. Flashes every 2-3 mins. Strange as areas just east and west of here are bone dry
  8. Great coverage on news 24. Just stopping raining. We have had 73mm since midnight. The flooded areas are mainly near the river Don and in the east of the city and in the Don valley.
  9. Constant rain since 11pm last night. 40mm so far. Seem to on the very southern edge of the rain band and now the rain is intensifing.
  10. Small storm moved over us northwards at around 9pm. Heavy rain and good fork lightning and loud thunder. The small storm has now merged with others in west yorks to give them a much better show. Its not fare.
  11. Thundery heavy rain just abaiting a little now. Lasted around 2 hours with numerous close lightning flashes and long,loud rumbles of thunder. currently 53mm of rain today, 19mm in last 2 hours. Massive problems in Sheffield this morning due to 105mm in just 2 days falling and running down the many hills surrounding the city. Many manhole covers off this morning, leaves and branches down and roads looking like rivers.
  12. 42 mm of rain yesterday (thurs) and top temp of just 11oc. Some torrential downpours in the late evening and mid morning with moderate rain and heavy drizzle in between.
  13. Here, here. Terrific amount of rain at around 3.20pm. Some nice lightning too. It was amazing how the clouds surrounded here and closed in all at once.
  14. Does anybody else find it so annoying when watchin the bbc weather that they cut from the early morning weather map to showing the weather in london, belfast, glasgow and cardiff in a list. How am I supposed to know the weather in Sheffield or anywhere else for that matter by seeing what its like in those 4 cities. Its not detailed enough as they are only being precise for the next 12 hours.
  15. Dunno weather to class it as a storm but a line of torrential showers has been moving north west on a convayor belt just to our west. One has just clipped us giving 25 minutes of torrential rain and pudddles in the lawn. 3 miles to our east has had nothing. A rain storm without the bonus of thunder.
  16. Heard some thunder to the east of here at 2pm. Very heavy and slow moving showers that only just clipped us here.
  17. There were at least 2 hail/sleet showers here in bents green mid afternoon. I was in the greenhouse as the ice pellets came down and there was a time where the rain drops were massive and contained ice too.
  18. Moderate rain since 1pm this afternoon. The odd heavy burst. 27mm so far and still raining as the rainband is starting to pivot over us.
  19. Same here apart from the rain has been very light at times and never more than light. It has been so muggy with the sun trying to peep through the cloud but only evey appeared as a glow through the cloud. 1.3mm rain so far.
  20. Absolutly clear here and 19.5 oc. Reached 23.5 oc today with clear skies all day. Im looking a little pink today. Gotta be my earliest sunburn ever.
  21. Had plenty of afternoon graupel and snow showers yesterday whish tried to settle and a few light snow showers this afternoon with one heavy shiower at 4.30. Nice big flakes!
  22. Just had the taleend of a band of showers moving into lincolnshire pass over. Has given a dusting on all surfaces which looks nice. Loads more showers upwind!!!!!!! Current temp is 0.9oc
  23. Frequent snow and hail showers this morning. Temp around 5oc.
  24. Still lightly snowing on an easterly breeze. Thats around 12 hrs of continuous snow of all intensities.
  25. WOW!!! Still snowing here in Sheffield but only lightly now. Here at only 117mts asl we have had our heaviest fall in probably more than 5 years. We have had about 3'' but in the higher suburbs there has been a masssive 8'' and cars are abandoned in crookes, bents green, lodge moor. The mountain rescue are digging cars out on the derbyshire border about 6 miles out of the city center and all buses in Sheffield have been cancelled and stopped running at 10pm. All in all a very wintry evening!
