The 18z has the Northern extent of the precip as the Eire/N Ireland border with the heaviest no further North than Dublin. This is at Sunday 6am. After that the precip exits East. I think if we see the precip head 50 miles further north before it moves out East then I think we may be in with chance.

Glass half full, that could be interpreted as positive and I hope you are correct. But, glass half empty, it could be interpreted as just a couple of hours ahead in terms of forecast location at a given time and not indicative of it actually going to progress further North.

How are you making the comparison? Presumably from one of the models but what about the actual position of the low? Would be interested to track myself.

Latest forecast for Barnsley is very disappointing! Only yesterday it looked like we were going to get 36 hours of continuous snow with 9 hours of that heavy. Now it looks like we will be lucky to get 3 or 4 hours of light snow! Oh well, better start looking for the next opportunity...

Occasional very light sleet/snow but when the heavy precipitation arrived it turned to rain! Typical of this winter really....

The less cold air has already arrived and turned the snow to rain overnight in Hutton Le Hole, so the snow that had settled has now gone.

Very light snow all evening in Hutton Le Hole but not settling. Now starting to intensify to moderate but seems very wet so doubtful that we will get any accumulation. Back home to Barnsley tomorrow, so no doubt the South Yorkshire snow shield will kick in...

You should defo stay in this thread...we are a friendly bunch! Hopefully Hunny is not so Sunny, and you get a bit more snow, although not too much elevation in your area but a lovely part of the country...we love the coast between Hunstanton and Cromer and spent 3 weeks a year staying near Wells for around 20 years and had some fantastic holidays but only once saw snow when we stayed for a week over new year a few years ago. Horizontal snow from the East on Wells beach was interesting!

Travelled down from Hutton Le Hole to Bridlington this morning then back this evening and have seen moderate snow showers on both journeys and whilst in Brid. Mostly not settling except in a heavier shower this morning whilst driving through Snainton and Brompton where the A170 was covered briefly. Still a dusting in Hutton this evening and expecting more overnight. Just as long as the staff can get to the pub to cook my tea!

Well I'm hoping it's snow on the coast as planning to go to Bridlington today. Anyone in Brid who can say? We've had a little more overnight in Hutton Le Hole but only enough to cover the cars and grass with nothing on the main road (although gritter came through the village 30 mins ago).

Yes, agree. There was a light dusting at the Lion around 10am this morning, which was better than Tuesday when we drove past it without even seeing it the fog was thick!

Yep, we did...you clearly had more energy than us today making the trek down to Mallyan Spout. We opted for walk around the village and were sheltering a coffee shop during the snow! The trip out to Lastingham this evening was fairly uneventful as although there was a nice covering on the roads it was nothing to really test the 4-wheel drive. Maybe tomorrow, following some more overnight showers!

A nice covering now in Hutton Le Hole and still coming down moderately. Off out shortly for a meal in Lastingham over the edge of the moors so the first time out in proper snow in our Volvo XC60. I've had it 4 years in March and this is the first time I will have used the 4-wheel drive when it has snowed and actually needed it, so could be interesting!

Away from Barnsley home atm, up on the North Yorks Moors and have seen light snow on and off all day. A nice heavy shower passed through whilst we were in Goathland, which was timely and nice to see a light covering! Back in Hutton Le Hole now and light snow showers passing through but not settling.

Light snow showing on radar over Barnsley but nothing obvious falling from the sky!

Much lighter here for last 20 mins even though radar shows us under heavier area! Still looking ok for later though, and meto now exteneded snow from midnight to 1am for Barnsley.

Fairly moderate snow in Barnsley now, and looking like we might be in line for some slightly heavier in the next hour. Road and cars all covered now.

Comparing GFS, Arpege and Euro4 precipitation forecast to latest Radar image, I would say the models have probably underestimated the Eastward extent of the precip. Precip is already into Scotland. rather than over Scottish Islands, and heading SSE, so I think we could be in with a chance as long as it stays on the same track. Meto forecast also just updated showing light snow for Barnsley from 18.00 today.

If we are to believe the latest model output, with the gradual trend to move the pattern West to the UKMO model view, I would say we are unlikely to see snow other than higher ground in the next 5-6 days. Best chance is Wednesday into Thursday with a wintry mix but then dry but cold Friday through to Monday/Tuesday. Cold and dry is much better than the rain and wind we endured during December but personally I would like to see some snow, but I think that is unlikely with the current setup. Hopefully we will some snow late January and into February.

Yep, that's pretty impressive!

Now I know car outside temperature readings are not overly accurate, but driving from Meadowhead Sheffield at 5.15 car read 11c but by time I had reached Manor Top Sheffield (about 2-3 miles distance) temp was down to 4c. That's a massive drop in a very short distance.

Another James Madden Exacta Weather doom mongering forecast, which is virtually the same story as last year, oh and the year before, oh and the year before that.... Not surprising that it is reported by the Express, as it was last year... One day the one forecast he has produced may actually come some way close to fruition (or maybe not)!

Well, that's four more than me :-)

Well according to the radar I should be seeing snow, but no matter how hard I stare at the lamp post I can see nothing! Where is my snow? Sheffield looks like being a prime spot yet again!

I'm not sure I understand why the current Met Office yellow warning for South Yorkshire for Sat and Sun includes snow when according to its weather graphics there is no snow forecast until Tuesday!
