Roundhay. And it's sleet again

...and now it's snowing again in Leeds. Moderate to heavy.

Rain turning back to sleet.

It's RAINING!

The things I do for Netweather [bIG SIGH]. Just been crawling around on the balcony in the dark. About 1/2cm. I did say "small flakes"

Small flakes but a moderate fall.

It's sticking. No Evostick involved. Perhaps because I'm on the edge of Leeds and the temp is that bit lower?

Agreed about the rader. I went off to cook a meal because nothing was happening/likely to. Got up for a refill of chardonnay, looked out the window and it's snowing Thought I'd had too much chardonnay for a moment.

If I'm not, I'm paying Council Tax to the wrong people Definitely in Leeds. Definitely snowing. Definitely lying. I didn't expect this at all - I don't think anyone did. If this low is doing something unexpected, there may be hope for you yet.

Moderate snowfall here and lying.

I'd have to agree. Started as sleet and now looks like drizzle.

Just had a short shower of...something. Can't tell what because of the fog. But there were definitely snowflakes mixed in it.

Snow pretty well stopped now. About 3cm. Not worth writing home about :lol: Perhaps something more meaningful tomorrow.

Moderate to heavy snowfall. Large flakes. At least 1cm down, perhaps nearer 2 but I'm not crawling around on an icy balcony measuring the depth as I did the other night

We have about 4 inches of lying snow and about 2 inches ice where people have trodden down the snow on the side roads. Main road clear. Apparently Roundhay always suffers badly in these conditions. It's only possible to walk on pavements if you're wearing walking boots or similar. Gritters? What gritters. I don't know if they have grit or not - we haven't seen any. The city centre is virtually clear. The lying snow seems to start at Chapel Allerton and extends north. I'm watching the progress of this channel low with meteorological fascination and some concern, given the existing conditions here.

Yes, I saw this earlier. Good post, nice useful graphic. There are also some posts people might want to check out in the Channel Low thread about the possible intensity of this low. Moderate snowfall here for about half hour.

Snowing quite heavily now. Large flakes. Looks like we're going to get a good covering tonight if it keeps up like this.

Finally - some very light snow.

Not a single flake!

I agree. I think those temps are far too low. -7 wouldn't surprise me outside the city centre, but lower than that? No.

Well, it certainly isn't thawing here. Thoroughly dangerous outside. Like many other parts of the north, dark clouds are coming and going, and producing nothing.

We are indeed noticing that. Having hit the jackpot this morning (4 hours snow, albeit light), could we really get lucky again??

It's snowing, but the sky's getting brighter and the snow's getting lighter.

This time round...some winners, some losers...but perhaps another shot at snow at the weekend. The outskirts of Leeds are barely functioning. The main roads are open but pavements are treacherous. Heaven help us if it freezes overnight.

Is it??? I got that by Googling it. That's very interesting. Thanks for the info. I'm new here so still finding out essential facts like elevation etc (and shops, and buses).
