wow what an afternoon couple of direct hits, frozen pea size hail plenty of thunder. Try upload vid later

been light snow grains for hours, but now it is proper flakes if you know what I mean, they are now showing up in lampost light haha. hoping it gets slowly heavier, and heavier

Many thanks for the update, I'm 8 miles due south of Chez, and 9 miles north of Ashbourne, so here's hoping, if its only half as good as the 2010 humber streamer it will be a goodun

It better be because I'm in the middle of that band haha

nothing there sorry, just had fine snow flakes for 6 hours nothing settled YET !

Some of the comments about streamers etc,ect are spot on. posted in here a few years back and JH can confirm, midnight 2cms, 6.30am we had 35cm everywhere, 42cm on back yard and in the garden topped out at 56cm, whilst in Chesterfield 10 miles NE there was 10 to15cm , JH said Donny area had 5 to 10, whilst in Derby City 5cm. It seems a Humber streamer set up and once in land a NNE wind directed it over this area. The band of ppn was only30 miles wide but kept on giving. When streamers get going they are magnificent, the current models show plenty of scope for these,. it was December 1st sons birthday, I told him it was a rare thing that schools would be shut on 1st Dec because of snow (cannot remember year but will look at archive charts)

your gonner get snow bombed in Barnsley, just wait until one of the radarred blobs is over you haha. its labled torrential snow !! on net weather charts

haha, i have to go to Middleton by Wirksworth first 320m, pick up family them head to Chez, over slack hill, haha. thats if its passable at 8amm

yep looking good now, hopefully another 2 to 4 hours

yep its good, car, paths and estate road white over, it will be in South Yorks soon
