Yes mate that's me, really was stunning in this part of the world this morning with sunshine and convective showers. They tended to fizzle out somewhat as they crossed the NYM's but I ended up finishing with 4cm that's half melted now but I can't winge as snow has been rare last few winters. Here's my collection from today.

3cm of snow here this so far today, and belting it down as I type, any word from Colin (4wd) in North York Moors, he must be swimming in it

Just had a beast of a shower, total up to 3cm and roads all covered again after the farmer gritted the road!

A whopping 1.5cm. Don't think I've ever been this excited about such little snow but times are hard!

Heavy snow here currently, around 1cm so far. Been for a drive around my area and above 100m its really treacherous on the roads, winter tyres were even struggling. Temp 0.6c

Shower activity picking up again looking good out towards to the North Sea.

Showers missed here so far, but can see a covering on the Wolds to my east. North York Moors looks snowy in places already.

Strensall has a better chance get yourself back there

I'd be surprised if you didn't have a covering by Monday morning, expecting a 12 hour window 7pm Sunday to 7am Monday of snow showers. No key for the map but I'm sure you can work it out. Map was designed for my North Yorks Twitter page so your area cut out but would put you in a decent position. Uppers around -7/-8c so would expect snow to lower levels especially in heavy showers. Areas in red are North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds, expecting some good accumulations here especially above 200m. Those further west better hope that these showers pack a punch and head well inland.

Nice covering here in Shadwell, North Leeds whilst out in the work van.

I was excited about the NEasterly on Sunday and Monday where models the last few days has suggested the flow along with sub -8c uppers, this has now been downgraded to uppers of around -4 to -6c which just won't cut it for my elevation. Still no decent convection of the North Sea since Dec 2010. Il never give up searching tho!

Paul Hudson spoke of rain moving up from the South on Friday, so that means they favor ECM over GFS as GFS has precip not getting further North than the midlands. All output looks messy at the moment, so hoping things will be resolved by morning.

114hr chart is pretty epic with lows tracking across the South Coast and a cold and likely convective easterly flow setting in.

Hi res model NMM following its theme on the 6z from the 0z with a nice slider and lots of food air to the east waiting to flood in.

Latest NMM for Europe just out and this is looking very much like GFS. All lows heading into France with a cold easterly setting up. UKMO is somewhere between GFS and ECM but still looks to have the slider and an easterly flow for the majority of the UK. Really is a fine line between rain and snow, another behind the sofa moments when opening the Euros later for the 12z.

First glance at ECM 168 I thought to myself "Ey up" but then I checked the uppers and because we don't get the slider on Friday there is no decent uppers left to our NE.

ECM could be the start of spoiler alerts! Blows that low up big time and the difference in uppers at 144 in comparison to last nights 12z is massive. Awesome GFS 0z but op is coldest of ensemble suite, could go either way, bugger off ECM

Played golf this morning and noticed in the clubhouse a picture of the course with a thick layer of snow from the 13th Feb 1969. As I usually do when I see a picture of snow from the past in my area I'l dig out the archive chart to see what the synoptic pattern was. The result being a brief but very cold unstable Northerly, with -12c 850 uppers being dragged across the UK and -15 uppers across W. Scotland. Its hard to imagine such a pattern being modelled today but one day I hope we see something of the likes again. Charts of sheer beauty

Saw some in North Leeds near Bardsey, nothing a iPhone camera could capture but glad I saw them.

Yeh saw that earlier Cheese, higher the better though of course. Cowdog, yourself and WC might see some wintry flavour.

Looks like theres been some thundersnow in the Peak District!

Had a nice heavy wet snow shower, nice to see but shows how bad winter is when you get camera out for a few flakes outside your window.

Just had a look through the University of Yorks weather station archive and out of the 60 days of winter so far, 32 days have had a max into double figures, really astonishing figures

Mar Lodge just over 300m similar to Braemar, temp around 3c at 300m nr Aviemore so still slightly on the warm side, would say current snow level 400m upwards but dropping soon. Edit: Is there a camera at Mar Lodge? Both Aviemore and Braemar cameras currently offline

Who would of thought at our latitude 3 snow-less winters was a possibility, and Im not even talking about the South, many towns/city in the north of England haven't seen lying snow since Jan 2013, this is quite exceptional. Its inevitable that this snow drought will end soon either this winter or by the next one but I suppose when it does occur it will be a rather special event, more so than usual. Hopefully the wait will be worth it.
