The wind doing the hard work now, keeping that precipitation over us through orographics. Hopefully we'll get a tasty merger later with what's heading up from the SW, as PIT alluded to.
Looking at the radar earlier I thought that may be possible looked to be closing if it does and we get more heavy snow we could end up with the highest totals certainly since the BFTE but maybe even surpassing it.
Can't see us hitting 2ft of snow like back in 2010 but that was December and the ground was colder.
Gonna be an interesting night that is for sure.

I'm beginning to wonder if decent snow is all but extinct here now. Northerlies, easterlies, frontal, it makes no difference it seems! Even when the temperatures and synoptics look good (like the 2018 BFTE) it doesn't deliver.
We've gone from an average of 15 days of lying snow annually on the 1961-1990 average to just 4.1 in the last 12 years.
Lets hope tonight gives something when winds back north.
Move to the hills around Sheffield because when we get snow we tend to have big falls.

Decent ecm for tomoro morning
If that is what the expect to be laying I think that it going to way out for the higher parts of Derbyshire because there is already 20cm+ on the highest ground already.

No problem where I live regarding snow cover on roads, but work colleagues are reporting roads up above 200m in Sheffield are in a bad way.
Not surprised it was bad enough when I was walking at top of Dronfield at 200m 2 hours ago it has started snowing heavily again and paths and roads well covered even further down the valley and at top is 60m or so higher but makes a lot of difference there was a good 15-20cm on the grass I would say so I am not surprised and unless you have a 4x4 I wouldn't attempt to try and go anywhere in it.

Went out and measured a while ago 14cm to 15cm of Snow. Still falling. Looking at the radar some very heavy precipitation over wales heading down towards Birmingham. If that merges with the front we are going to have some real fun.
I didn't have a tape measure on me and was walking the dogs and there was a good 15-20cm on the grass at Hallowes Golf course in Dronfield highest point is about 210m up there or there abouts.

Altitude seems to have been key so far. We have had a good dumping already in south Sheffield.
Hopefully lower elevations will join the party later this evening.
Should see it at Hallowes Golf Course I would say at the top it 15-20cm deep it was shin deep on the grass.

That precipitation in mid-Wales is proper sexy. On its current track it'll reach here after dark with nocturnal cooling helping as well.
I had a disturbed nights sleep last night... am I going to sleep at all tonight?
Think we have been in the sweet spot today judging by all the pictures I have seen and going out walking.
If things come to fruition we could have the deepest snow since the BFTE at least.
Not as much will settle as 2010 snowfall wrong time of year for proper accumulations had this been December would be looking at nearly 20cm accumulated already.
But the warmer ground an air temps rising for a few hours put pay to that.

This is the BS models prediction for tonight, check it out! No work tomorrow for everyone
If that comes off lf I wouldn't be surprised to see 50cm+ in the highest parts it must be easy 20cm deep at Hallowes Golf course in Dronfield just been out walking it was shin deep and that's around 200m ASL.

Absolutely hammering it down South Sheffield/North Derbyshire border and heading your way by the looks of things.

Must be close to 10cm on the ground in highest parts of North Derbyshire already looking at easily 1ft+ if it carries on like this.

yet another terrible january for snow,having said that januarys rarely deliver in hull and east yorkshire.i remember we had a snow fall in jan 2013,but nothing special.the last really heavy snowfall in hull was 2010 and the really heavy snow fell in the last few days of november and first week of december.februarys also are now poor for snow.by the time you get to march,if it snows it rarely lies on ground long,as the sun is that much stronger.i may be wrong,but im not expecting much in the way of wintry weather for the rest of this winter.
I wouldn't worry it has been the same here in Sheffield all we have pretty much had this winter is dustings.

Absolutely hammering it down everything white over here on the border with South Sheffield wasn't expecting that.

A tropical 3 degrees here. Some showers popping up which will be rain here perhaps something wintry on the highest peaks in the peak district. If they push further north you may get lucky.
I will be surprised if we get anything away from the peaks as you say it is 3c dew points above freezing.
All I can see is sleet and cold rain.

Wind has been wild here last 24 hours!
did anyone managed to sleep? I kept getting woken up things crashing abit! it was brown bin day here too so that was fun!
Was bad here here on Sheffield border someone has lost their trampoline and some poor sod has ended up with a smashed windscreen and dented car bonnet.
Was very difficult to sleep haven't heard wind like that since experiencing the full strength of Storm Arwen.

When 40cm of snow fell in one evening in Leeds, I remember it pretty well even though I was only 7. A few of my friends from school got stranded that evening. It was caused by an area of low pressure moving into cold air (which is where many of our best falls have come from).
Maybe one day we’ll get a repeat of that.
Pretty certain that was the event that saw me and my family stranded at the local club where we all went for my nans birthday in Sheffield.
I just remember coming out of the club and everything being buried under well over a ft+ of snow.

A place beginning with HART is getting snow according to the radar.
Sorry NorthEastSnow it is Hartlepool.
Surely you have to get some tonight and leave some for Guisborough.
I drove through that and i can confirm it was one of the shortest snow showers I have ever seen.

Looks like that shower will hit just north of Hartlepool then maybe drift over to Bishop that's assuming it doesn't just dissipate as soon as it hits land.
It's absolutely plastered Hartlepool the paths and roads are well covered at sea level I suspect the roads will be very tricky upto the A19.

IT’S SNOWING IN MIDDLESBROUGH!
Snowed right on the coast too so it bodes well that it is snowing at sea level too.

Whilst only being an amateur reading, this is the temperature from my back garden at 15:40 today in Balderton. The wind has picked up also, feeling like a blow torch and adding to the already astonishing feel of this heat.
Yesterday we got upto 38c here. I'm not to a degree or 2 so I'll say we've definitely hit +40c
Ties in with this reading too.

The blowtorch wind is what is most extraordinary about this heat. I have never felt that in this country. The wind is usually cooling.
Today has really been a heat lovers and extremist paradiseExtraordinary never felt anything like that in my life it is the kind of wind you would get in California with the wildfires

Please don't remind me of that I was in Sheffield the heaviest snow I can recall.
Literally went from clear roads to completely covered in the space of 2 miles and the roads turned to ice rinks pretty much straight away.
Never seen anything like it cars crashing into each other like dodgems as there was no grit on the roads.
