This video believed to be from somewhere in Norfolk today, reminds me of the snow back in the 80,s when I was a kid.
seem to recall drifts like that in parts of north yorkshire on a May bank holiday around 2013 when we had to hire a little motor for a short break when ours packed in. It was so weird seeing snow and so much of it that late on

super fine snow now, its turned decidedly nippy and that sunshine has gone on its lunch break... hang on, proper snow back again now

Just got back from a shopping excursion and the conditions within the 20min area of my home are stark, my village has had around a good inch of snow yet just two mins away there is a dusting go a further five mins away and thick snow cover again. Just goes to show how the showers have let loose depending on geography and local weather conditions the varied conditions are quite broad even in a tiny area.
we are barely 2m from the city centre on a dead end street with an incline, all small old terraced houses. Our street typically retains snow and ice when others around us have cleared, so what little snow I am seeing outside my window is probably more than the next street has got.
but it's still trying - a few flakes, here and there

either it's started snowing again here in S11, or someone is pulling a sheet of polystyrene apart... lots of teeny tiny white bits floating past the window...
proper snow now... wonder how long for...

I have similar memories of school remaining open until absolutely necessary to close due to very deep snow and drifts, also in the ‘70’s.
I think one of the big differences between now and then was vast majority of kids were really local and within easy walking distance and it was the same for teachers or at least it was at my junior school.
My daughter is a primary school teacher and the school where she works has lots of the kids travel in by car as they aren’t within walking distance and some of the teachers drive in 30 or 40 miles and one from Manchester! Therefore even if kids can get to school, they don’t always have the right number of teachers able to get in to meet safety requirements and pupil-teacher ratio
I work at an FE College and it was always the waiting game - we would check what the other colleges were doing - the ones on the outskirts closed first, us in the middle of the city at lower levels had to wait until all the others shut by which time, the roads would be shocking and getting home was a nightmare. Lot to be said for working from home

This really is the best regional page! we have some great posters in here who actually post stuff we can understand it's going to be an exciting few days or maybe longer! hope we all get some snow and look forward to seeing great pictures in the coming days
I second this - very grateful to the posters on here who explain things in ways that make sense to non-meto folk!

yes it was a bit of a surprise here in SW Sheffield, the frostiest the car has been so far this year! so much for milder weather (mind you, we had seen a gritter last night heading up Ecclesall Road on a mission, when we were coming back from music class around 8pm)

The shower activity is simply not coherent or numerous enough. If we are lucky we get a dusting after dark once the temperature drops again.
yes so far its been all froth and no substance.

chance of snow coming back in Sheffield around 4pm according to METO and BBC weather, earlier forecasts were looking at 4pm to 7pm so disappointing that its downgraded again. It isnt hanging around long when it does snow but does look pretty for that brief period. Any further (hopeful) models out there we can turn to?
-
Skies gone dark here in Sheffield city centre again, more of the lovely white wet cold stuff.

We suddnely have a lot of fog here in Sheffield City Centre looking over from the direction of the station towards the SW) can't see all the usual landmarks - Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Bramhall Lane, VelocityTower or even the new construction taking place further up St Mary's Gate/Ecclesall

yeah, last years BftE didn't really deliver for us here, it wasn't that cold and not much snow either.
Consider that in 2010 we hit -20c here, nothing since has come close. Not that I'd want a repeat of that cold, we had all sorts of problems with the vehicles from rubber anti-vibe dampers sheering off propshafts to cracked rads. It also cost us a fortune to heat the house.
...and at the same time in 2010, our heating packed in for several weeks and we were lucky if we reached 8degrees max downstairs indoors brrrrrrrr
