We had about 4 inches at 250m last night near Ripponden, West Yorkshire....We did a 4 trig run over about 25km on the moors where there was about 7-8 inches of laying powdery snow. Really beautiful, it came down at about 9pm last night onto dry ground. Really beautiful, nearly all melted by 4pm and then a heavy hail/snow shower again giving another light partial covering. Lucky, but not really needed in April

What strange weather! The showers are developing but not really moving anywhere....We can see snow about 15miles away on the moors, but it's been sunny here until the last 30mins or so

Get down!

If I lived near Preston and I wanted more snow, I'd move an hour or so further Eastwards where we get plenty most winters. My wife is always surprised by how much more it snows over here compared to her native Grimsargh.

...We had one heavy snow shower, gave a covering although it won't last long on the ground.

We are currently having the odd heavy hail shower with light snow in between, good spring northerly weather! Winds going well up here, but it was worse at times yesterday.

Very quiet in here now!

This last weeks cold spell has only being marginally disappointing. We have had mainly ice days where we are at 800ft and above 1000ft it's been 2 or 3 below at least nearly all the time. We had snow mainly from the Saturday rain-snow event and then several days of showers but not much accumulation from them really, this was the disappointing part! The drifting above 1000ft has been impressive. What surprised me is how green it is away from the hills, I drove to Worsbrough near Barnsley to collect some flour for our bakery and there nothing but a dusting....had it melted? or never accumulated? Penistone had a fair covering, but I imagine all Pennine parts with some elevation had a reasonable covering....which has been and is usually the key in any of these type of events where the bulk of the snow came from the rain-snow event. Disappointing for most, but for us who are born and raised in the hills or simply move to them for these opportunities we have to put up with far more poor weather for a week of snow a year than you in the lower parts of the county do!

Better shower activity already today here, it seems north and west yorks are getting some bigger heavier showers this morning. As of now, most showers seem to be north of Sheffield...but mainly further north than that even. A big gap in Lincolnshire and parts of south yorks and derbyshire this morning so far.

I'd disagree, Leeds is alright! Much better than it was. Bradford is awful, you're correct !

Hang about, you're from Leeds/Bradford, two very depressing parts of the world! You'll have to be more specific with your location i'm afraid

Some photos from a walk up a very snowy Manshead Hill (Soyland moor) in Calderdale.

I've seen that streamer, it'll either hit us directly or stay behind the hill towards Cragg/Mytholmroyd. Some proper stuff on the moors above Cragg, amazing drifting....wrap up if you're gonna walk in it. It's grand.

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.

There are some big old showers heading in now, covering a good chunk of Yorks/Lincs/Derbyshire

The best beefiest showers are running in a line from Bradford/just north of and Wetherby and the North York Moors. Not S.Yorks as expected (yet!) Lincs and Derbyshire look to be getting some good showers as well

This is why frontal snow is better Especially for more widespread consistent snow falls. A good day ahead I feel

They must be incompetent, Norfolk is pretty much flat isn't it? We drive up and down 1/4's in Yorkshire. I'm glad you guys are getting snow!

The wind is a bit much up here for anything to try and settle, lots of showers out there. It looks much more promising for something heavier than it did yesterday.

From a walk going up Dog Hill which is above the Ryburn and Baitings dams with the M62 on the other side. We turned back today actually, the drifting had filled the paths in and the weather looked like it was coming in...even though it didn't. Impressive drifting from the snow last night.

I'll take some photos of some proper snow cover in a bit, don't you worry guys and gals
