    Still well and truly in here LOL. Not a rumble in SE Sheffield. This area really must have the fewest thunder days in the whole of the UK LMAO.

    Yep everything goes around us I would love to know why the hell hardly anything tracks overhead.

    Thats not good now we need some rain. No idea if it's out or not very little coverage here

    I went up yesterday morning they had put the majority of it out the media sensationalised it as usual claiming it was Lady Canning Plantation and for those who know the area many will refer to the woods full of pine trees as LCP and from the reports they made it sound like it was the actual woods that had gone up. 

    But in reality it was the heather above LCP that had caught fire near to Ox Stones that spread across the moorland. 

    I think it is only by luck we had a cool easterly wind and cool tempretures and the wind direction pushing the fire away from the plantation. 

    Had the wind been westerly and had we had the heat we had last summer the whole wood could have gone. 

    Thankfully the damage is far less severe than it could have been.

    Well, after an incredibly promising day where I saw huge cb's all day long (seriously, I don't ever recall seeing a sky as convective as that) it turned out to be yet another bust for me. I think I must've been the only place in the uk that DIDN'T get a storm! I noticed on radar that storms were practically still and not moving - hardly any wind at all, so were developing rapidly in place and staying there and it must've been absolutely torrential under those. 😱 Lovely day for sky watching (wanted to take some photos to share but was driving for most of the day) but  a huge disappointment for me personally yet again. 😓

    You should try living in some parts of Sheffield storms seem to go North East South and West of us I have never known a place like it. 

    It is so frustrating to say the least.

    Gotta say though Sheffield area really is becoming snow capital of yorkshire, gotta have had the most big snow events since 2010. 

    As I am sure many Sheffielders will allude to we tend to get big falls of snow or none at all It is not very often we get just dustings of snow. 

    The fall of snow we just had surely has to be a record for length of snowfall too must have easily been 28-30 hours none stop snowfall in the Southern half of Sheffield/North Derbyshire. 

    Had this event taken place in late November early December  like 2010  I reckon many parts would have come close to surpassing it. 

    But what put pay to the chances of that was the lack of intensity of the snow for periods in the day which lead to thaws of the laying snow.

    I am sure those with more knowledge than can give a better explanation but I think it is the length of daylight and ground temperatures that played a big part in us not seeing falls that we experienced in 2010. 

    One thing is for sure we must have the most extreme differences in weather pf any English city. 

    You can go from 1 part of Sheffield and there be no snow and be pouring down with rain and then you could travel to another part of the city and it be a raging blizzard and a ft of snow. 

    2010 was something else though and totally different set up we got stuck under a persistent streamer and ended up with 2ft in places yet places 15-20 mile either side got a fraction of that. 

    It would be interesting to know if there is a  scientific reasoning for it rather than if being luck of the draw.

    Looks like Western side of Sheffield matched the epic December 2010 totals? Some posts showing Lodgemoor / Crosspool with about 40cm of snow

    Lowedges, Greenhill, Norton top of Herdings looks like they have hit around 40cm 

    Thats a friends photo from Greenhill around 40cm and seen photos from Lowedges that show the same. 

    I would hazard a guess Owler Bar Ringinglow will be 50cm+  Owler bar was shut overnight as blowing snow blocked the road and road up to Ringinglow goes above 400m and usually a good big deeper.

    Noticed on the radar for my postcode (S5) we've been stuck under the same area of moderate snow for hours now.

    The snow to the north, while weakening a bit, is merging as well.

    Winter wonderland doesn't quite cut it this morning ❄️😍🥶

    It is mad we have a ft plus now and Blizzards and looking at webcams in the peaks roads are literally buried the A53 winking man shows the road is completely buried under blowing snow  too it is unbelievable

    Wow I fell asleep and woke up and the snow has gone into to. Overdrive full on blizzard out there I cleared snow off the patio chairs about 8pm yesterday evening and there is about 20cm fresh on that. 

    I would say there is easily a foot of snow out there now here in Dronfield definitely was an Amber warning. 

    Another thing to note is power/phone cables caked in snow wouldn't be suprised if many are brought down.
