9.3c please -
I'm pretty sure 2010 was mostly luck. We had around 40cm in Creswell which is c. 80m asl, Worksop got similar amounts and is even lower. Western Sheffield is edge of or even in the peak district so is always going to do better than much of Leeds. As others said had this been December or January we could have added several cms in places - though ppn intensity was also an issue. 14cm in March is very good and Roundhay is only between 100 and 150m asl.

Sun has dented the snow quite a bit. But in the shade and grass its survived pretty much intact (10 to 14cm still). Max temp of 3.2c. Hopefully melt should stop in the next few hours before a hard frost. Sadly I won't be back until Sunday. Any top up Saturday evening will have gone by then sadly. Have fun!

Best snow event i can remember for a long time - I'll rely on others to tell me for Leeds as I was in London since 2016. Well-done to the Met Office on the amber warning - got just under 15cm level and 20cm on the grass. If only yesterdays snow stuck a little better, we might have gotten closer to 2010. Melting rapidly on plants etc.. ,though i reckon we'll keep cover in the shaded areas until Sunday. The downsides of snow in March! I'm off to London today and back Sunday, hope you all see some snow Saturday evening (looks another 2-5cm widely prior to turning much milder) Always an odd time when you think 4 weeks today we could be realistically hitting the mid 20s if any heat makes it! A few pics from Roundhay Park

Settling on the roads and pavements now, though back to light snow as we seem to be in a bit of a gap. Not expecting anything near the warning level in my part of Leeds - elevation and lack of intensity hasn't helped (can really see the elevation in that the top part of Roundhay it is sticking to roads, c, 140m, but nearer Oakwood (under 100m) its really struggling. With another c. 12 hours of off and on snow i am hopeful for a decent covering of several cm's - lets see!
