The North Yorkshire Road / Weather Station Cameras show a good indicator of where it's lying. Lying snow in Cowling, Ribblehead, and Greenhow, but not in Settle and might be turning to snow in Grassington. Height is key at the moment.

Snow here. Now heavy enough, the fields have gone white.

Where is your location? Bingley Station was recording 56 mph 3 hours ago.

Yorkshire Dales & North Pennines Forecast WWW.MWIS.ORG.UK Got to be a nervous time at the Met Office, whether they need to issue a Red warning, as normally over 90mph inland gets one.

56 Mph recorded at Bingley Station, not meant to peak here till around midnight.

Had a few more cm's from the evening / night lot, now is about 5cm's. Massive issues though here this morning, as temperatures dropped below the level where the grit works correctly, so the roads are difficult. Wish we had a working weather station to find out what it's actually got to.

**** Met office website has it getting to -12C here tonight. The lowest we ever had here was -18C in 2009 (or 2010), so this is exceptional if it happens. Not made any preparations for those kinds of temperatures, as we were looking at it not being that bad tonight, and tomorrow night being the cold one.

Probably about 3cm here now, which is surprising given it is also Sunny, and rare to get any depth increase in the daytime. Likely to stay heavy until midnight here, although the one this evening is still forecast to be the heaviest for us. Going to be fun to find out the depth in the morning, assuming the warm area doesn't scupper it all. North Yorkshire has a network of Cameras and Weather Stations along exposed main roads - Road cameras and weather conditions | North Yorkshire Council WWW.NORTHYORKS.GOV.UK View pictures of road conditions across North Yorkshire from our weather station cameras. You can view the cameras, but they annoyingly don't allow the weather station data to be public.

Moderate snowfall has arrived here. Looking at the track, anywhere from Hebden Bridge to Hawes should get this one, likely to not be much though by the time it gets to Leeds, etc.

A small farm on a hill, the nearest place is Cowling - hence the name. Starting to actually get some depth now, around the 1cm mark on the fences.

Proper snow starting to fall here now, rather than the little spots it has been; just in time for the school's to open

Met Office Website now shows us having heavy snow from 10am through till midnight. Believe the website is just a raw UKV output when within 48 hours. Looking at the UKV's 3Z run that's showing showers widely across North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire throughout the day, but the 3Z doesn't even have the current main band of precipitation over Northern Ireland on it, so who knows.

Radar has the first band of the main stuff arriving here around 11am. Looks to be stronger and earlier than forecast, so going to be a fun time for schools. A second heavier band is looking to come around nightfall, perfect for 'Rush hour'. Could well see 15cm+ from this here, if it doesn't lose intensity.

Looking at the radar, that lot over South West Scotland / Irish Sea is what's going to give us the snow later, if it stays that intensity then it's going to be fun. History has shown it often intensifies once it makes landfall, all depends on conditions.

Well it's snowing here, so likely to be snow when / if it gets to Bingley, at least on the hills.

Met thinks something's up. New Warnings issued for Wednesday & Thursday. Wednesday one covers, everywhere in region bar a bit of South Yorkshire and East Yorkshire. Thursday one is a duplicate of Tomorrows, i.e. only Pennines. Wednesdays - 'A band of sleet and snow is likely to continue to push across this area and towards the southeast during the first part of Wednesday. This could bring 1-2 cm of snow over the hills in the region, with a small chance of around 5 cm falling in one or two upland areas.' Thursday - 'Generally many places in this area will only see 1-2 cm or so of snow, with any quickly melting on the immediate coastlines. However, where showers align, some narrow corridors could see 5-10 cm of snowfall. This most likely in parts of northwest England'

Warnings issued for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Only covers the Pennines as expected, but that could well change.

It keeps being shown as having an angle of attack that usually gives good snowfall for the area around the Aire valley. Of course won't be like that when it does happen as it's 4 days away, and we can't really predict snow even 2 days out reliably.

That timing seems to be the only thing going as predicted. Everything else though isn't gone as forecast, i.e. the heaviest stuff stayed around Derbyshire / South Yorkshire and come earlier. Don is predicted to top soon if the Environment agency is correct, can't see they are as radar is still heavy and not moving.

Hope the powers that be in Rotherham are keeping an eye on this, as most of the heaviest rain so far has been falling on the catchment areas that run into the Don / Rother.

It's probably well past 4m. The station seemed to stop reporting over 2 hours ago when it was at 3.84m

We have been awoken by the rain. Already our streams are topping. Looking at the local river gauges already, a couple of brooks and rivers are past the floor marks locally, which given the worst isn't expected till after 7am is very worrying.

Some of the significant river gauges that the Environment agency operates are connected to their own model to predict the measurements. Believe it just uses the UKV for predicted rainfall, so it's very dependent on what that is showing to predict the expected amounts at those stations. Think it's only a handful of stations on the Calder and the Don in our region have the functionality. That is 2m above the previous record. Got to hope now the model is throwing a wobbly.

Hate to double post but, Hebden Bridge is being predicted to smash its previous record by over half a meter. If this is backed up by further runs, then they need to issue a red warning tonight.

They are currently predicting 3m at Sowerby Bridge, 2.5m at Todmorden. Just below the records for both of them. River Calder level at Sowerby Bridge - GOV.UK CHECK-FOR-FLOODING.SERVICE.GOV.UK Check the latest recorded river level and recent 5-day trend at Sowerby Bridge
