    This is more of a Channel Low that's a bit too far north, similar to March. 
     

    While we do get epic events from the east or north (6th Jan 10, 2nd Dec 10), a lot of time the frontal air is too dry and you get small flakes and blowy dust snow, the great snow from the east is shower based. Sliding Atlantic fronts (low west of Ireland, SE winds ahead of the front) deliver probably the best frontal snow as per 31st December 03, multiple Jan 13 events as these are the fat flake events. 

     

    Turned to rain here at some point after 1am. It's drizzle at the moment as the front has just about cleared. 

    Yeah, from recollection of when I lived near Worksop some of the best snow events came from the east or north east, though being a bit further south than here frontal events also did okay. Presume the North York moors can be a bit of a hinderence in North Easteriles for our neck of the woods?

    Similar amounts here in Kippax perhaps a  bit less. A bit disappointed that the heavier stuff stayed just south of here rather than what was modeled (was supposed to be a bit further north the heavier stuff.)

    Yeah, bit frustrating though we can't complain ( better than most of the country!). Perhaps a temporary top up in the morning before a thaw. I'm now looking to festive period for our next chances..

    The alignment is still good but too far south though convection west has exploded and so will hopefully still move east.

    Annoyingly it looks like the reformation after the shadow has been gold for Doncaster.

    The blob approaching Liverpool looks to have our name on it, should it survive the journey! So far precipitation passing c. 5 miles of  the south to me and revigorating just to the east !
