Lined up perfectly for the narrowest of gaps between these showers. Anyone getting anything wintry out of them?
-
Tell you what I've been working outside throughout this cold spell, but when I went out to top up the bird feeders this morning it was the coldest it's felt in the past 2 weeks. That wind is biting!

On the 240hr chart, is this a low or a high pressure area?
That's a low

Isn’t it for the frontal system arriving tomorrow?
They updated this morning's warning for the showers, originally it was for the pennines only but expanded it right to the east coast. It expired at 12pm
-
Why on earth did the met Office expand that ice warning right over the whole of Yorkshire? The showers all stuck to where the original warning was, getting no further than about Bradford before fizzing!
-
The really irritating thing is the showers breaking up over the pennines have reformed over the humber
-
Lol a light rain shower cements this cold spell as one of the the most notable, but also forgettable cold spells of my life (locally). Met office have been kind enough to extent their ice warning over us just now, a mere 2 and a half hours before it expires. However, it does mention up to 3cm of snow above 100m so maybe if those heavier showers make the pennine crossing intact this time we could get a last minute surprise.

What's all this talk about people having snow? It's just a horrible dry misty day here and about minus 3 degrees! An absolute anticlimactical waste of this cold weather!

Right I've had enough of this nothing cold spell now. Its bad enough when the whole country is dry, but there's been snow in every direction from here, even snowing in London, so get ready for some ridiculously optimistic snow depth reports on the forums in the next few hours.

Drove through a flurry near Birstall but nothing making it further east than that it seems

I’m enjoying the sunshine and lack of rain. Also some absolutely stunning night skies - the kind of night skies you only get on cold winter nights.
I wouldn’t mind sunny 10C weather but let’s be honest - that’s not what we’ll get, is it? It’ll be rainy, cloudy, windy, miserable 10C weather instead, because this is the UK, and our normal winter weather is some of the most depressing rubbish you’ll find anywhere on this planet.
I like snow as much as most on here but there’s so much more to the weather than just snow. There are few things more beautiful than a stunning frosty winter landscape illuminated by dazzling sunshine - it’s a shame that some of you are unable to appreciate it!
I agree that a frosty sunny day is nice at this time of the year. But snow covered landscapes are better. We don't often get cold like this, so if it ends up being snowless, I will be highly disappointed, as I'm sure will most on here. Ain't gonna apologise for that.

This is shaping up to be the most anti-climactic cold spell ever for us inland especially! Northerlies are so disappointing, and then we have a week of low pressure on top of us with not a cloud in the sky

Absolutely belting it down from the front that, only this morning, the absolutely banter weather forecast on TV said would be some light rain over Birmingham and Lincoln! Garden glad of it, my rabbits who had to be brought in at lunchtime, less so!

Hope you are soon sorted Ds, still edging up slightly here, 41.6 C; 33.7 C in my pc room upstairs and 29.4 C in the lounges downstairs, doors, windows been closed since mid am, blinds/curtains drawn.
Sat here with cold wet flannel on my head!
Picture please?

It looks like it's developing already, what's occurring here?!
-
Thundery looking skies this morning. And interesting to see than Bramham Park, less than 5 miles north of here broke the all-time Yorkshire record yesterday, even if its only for a day

What's this!? Go away!

Some proper heavy snow at work in Birkenshaw today after a nice shower and dusting to wake up to at home. Wonder if we'll get some more tonight

Garforth currently. What a nice surprise!
-
In fairness the slushy dusting has remained unmelted so I wonder if there were some lower dew points that came in after the big shower early on in West Yorkshire. Been dry for a couple of hours now and only spotty showers showing on radar. Westerlies are always disappointing

Definitely better east of the Pennines due to wind strength.
It's a slush fest over here at the moment mate, even at 200m asl. Reckon you need 250m+ at the moment for a proper covering in West Yorkshire

Heavy wet snow when I left Garforth, turned to sleet around Stourton on the M1, then snow all the way on the M62 but only a slushy cm or so of accumulation between Tingley and Birstall (200m asl). A dusting of slush on the grass at Cleckheaton with wet snow falling again now. All in all, a typical underwhelming westerly slushfest unless you are about 300m up (Queensbury is probs a winter wonderland) but it was nice to see some falling snow. Looks like the big batch has passed through now with speckly showers following on behind.

Now sleeting here, looks to be a nice batch of showers entering stage left so could be an interesting drive to work at Cleckheaton in half an hours time. I imaging there's a covering at Birstall.
