    You can have as much of ours as you want if you come and fetch it. After two days snowed-in we finally managed to get out today after a neighbouring farmer came round with his JCB. Sunday is now looking most likely for more significant snow, bitterly cold with it too. Up here in the hills we'll likely get some drifting as the wind picks up

    BBC are predicting snow showers in Sheffield area for about 0600 tomorrow morning - check the Look North forecast at about 2220.

    Interesting for my area - he suggested the snow showers will reach as far as the Sheffield area by 0600 tomorrow. We will know in the morning if he's right about it.

    Perhaps the Met Ofice haven't seen this report... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/6941407/The-big-freeze-around-the-world.html

    Near blizzard conditions here (S6) just now - in addition to the heavy snow we have a strong and gusty wind blowing all the snow off the trees.

    Did the forum software get snowed under ? haven't been able to get in for ages <_<

    If it does Sheffield will be chaos in the rush hour tomorrow morning. I have a nice new shovel so it can do what it likes

    The snow this morning settled here. We were on our way home from town at 1100 and I would say the 'settling' height was 300m on Kirkedge road.

    We've had a couple of inches in about two hours here. It eased up to light snow about ten minutes ago and I thought the streamer was sinking south but it's now pepped up again though not as thick and fast as an hour ago. It's also looking likely that the band of snow heading inland on Teeside will arrive in South Yorks later this evening.

    BBC chart for tomorrow afternoon is interesting... http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209 ...what looks like a trough coming inland around Newcastle at midday, descends south-west towards Leeds by 1500 but has all but disappeared by 1800. Is this the South Yorks snow shield at work ??

    I think a lot of folk would describe this event as a 'Swizzle'. Although our snow is thickening up now and the wind is getting up so we might have an interesting afternoon.

    We had to turn out this morning down to Oughtibridge and the snow turned to rain in Worral which is about 800 feet ASL. It's still quite heavy here in High Bradfield but it's very fine stuff, - although it covers cleared paths very quickly. Thermometer showing 0°C. Snow is about 3cm deep on the paved area of the garden.

    We've had continuous but very light snow since approx 2100—the accumulation is barely 1cm so far. In the current situation our conditions will be very similar to that of Buxton...same altitude, same rural setting and just over the hill. http://www.buxtonweather.co.uk/

    BBC just had that band as snow for tomorrow night as it passes over S. Yorks. Fairly confident it will be at our altitude - possibly six hours of it starting around 2100 ?

    Blizzard conditions west of Sheffield

    I'm in S6 too (High Bradfield)- looking at the Netweather radar we still have quite a bit to come. I thought the streamer had dropped south a bit an hour ago but it's now back with a vengeance. I ain't going outside to measure it, the snow is piled up against both doors, but I'd say we've had about 3 inches of level snow already. Local farmer has been dashing round the lanes with a sbowplough on the front of his tractor...a few quids for him no doubt :lol:

    Seems to be originating in Morecambe Bay area and heading southeast. Grimsby looks to be just out of it but Lincoln should get a good dumping.
  18. galba
    The streamer looks set to resume after the current clear spell. Met Office were suggesting it could last until 2000 before dying out. It has just resumed here in the Sheffield Highlands
  19. galba
    We're finally getting something here on the western edge of Sheffield - it seems to be frozen rain
  20. galba
    We got nothing from that band of 'moderate' snowfall that passed over us according to the NW and the Meto radar. Not a flake or a flurry. Beats me how the radar can show such a strong echo and there's nothing to see for it.
  21. galba
    Keep forgetting snow has gone 'metric' But can I just say that when I were a lad there was none of this business of trains being delayed due to 'wrong kind of snow' on the lines - that's when it was measured in inches.

    Somebody painted our garden shed white last night....why would they do that ? 3 to 4 inches here. It seems to have snowed continuously from about 4 pm yesterday through to just before 6 this morning. Perhaps just as well we were out of the heaviest ppn. Anyway I broke the snow-shovel trying to lift too much with it Apologies to all those who didn't get any.
  23. galba
    Very fine snow here too but accumulation is now about 4 cm. A good northerly breeze is piling it up so if it carries on for another four hours or so my first job in the morning will be shovelling.....again !
  24. galba
    We have about 1 cm of fresh snow here, wind has become quite gusty and there's a pretty strong radar echo approaching from the southeast so I imagine the high ground around Sheffield will have a decent covering by the morning. Full moon tonight too

    I'm going to wait to see what that lad Paul Hudson has to say at 6:55
