  1. Quite a heavy shower currently, but the ground has warmed up today so barely settling.
  2. Last snowfall? Nope! Had a light shower this afternoon. I know what you mean, though anything is possible yet, including widespread heavy falls. Not a prediction, but a possibility.
  3. Certainly interesting in the Wolds, at least as good for snow as it was living in Penistone which was 150m higher than here. (Apart from last week). If you do move,choose carefully. We're 10 miles from the coast and I wouldn't want to be any nearer, even so the coastal effect does kick in when you least want it to. However, when there's a Northerly about, you wouldn't want to be much further inland as you'll often miss out. There's a road 2 miles west of here that the snow refuses to cross with the wind in the right direction and you can predict to within a few feet where the snowline will be. It's also good for thunderstorms and warmth in summer as well and that's the downside with some upland locations, so all in all a great location, especially so for a low level one. Just had a light snow shower out of nowhere.
  4. It seems to have snowed lightly/moderately for much of the night, but hardly more than a light covering anywhere on the way in to York. Nothing settling in York and outskirts.
  5. Frequent overnight snow showers and a gusty wind has left us with drifts to match anything on the Pennines. I am of course talking from an ant's perspective.
  6. Adam please. It's March, nearly April for heaven's sake. You have snow, we don't and didn't when you got a bucket load. Just to annoy you intensely, it's a damn sight colder here than Leeds and snowing. Some of us on here go together earlier to get a message to you.
  7. And this from the PIT, can't even spell mate. Light flurries here for the last few hours.
  8. Wind has been gusting to almost 60 mph on top of the hill here. If we'd had any snow it would have blown to Penistone by now.
  9. No I don't think so. Think it will head NW then take more of a Westerly direction before moving South again. Possibly affect areas South of the Humber in towards South Yorkshire maybe.
  10. I would have believed it, until I read your location. Penistone, Leeds, Sheffield, maybe!
  11. Just been for a quick drive to see where the snow's gone! Had to drive 10 miles west before there's a dusting. Top of Garrowby Hill on the Wolds there's probably less than 2cm, but even so, some of the drifts are approaching 2 feet. Went across to Settrington Beacon and apart from Garrowby you can't see any, right across the Vale of Pickering to the lower slopes of the North York Moors, nor looking west towards York. Above that you can't see because of the haze, but there was snow cover there before. Machu, have you seen those photos of the Main Street in Penistone March 1933? I've got some in a book somewhere, they're awesome - go take some more!
  12. Anyway Mr Murr we've had 28 days of MO snow cover, 5 days when it was close, another half dozen at least with temporary falls, so to miss out today is no problem. (B*ll*cks, I'm gutted). And when the next Northerly buries us and the east coast we'll have smug smiles again.
  13. Looking at the radar I think this must be the only area in Yorks and Lincs that's barely seen a flake. And I can count them on one finger.
  14. Tesco moved in and they sell beef, pork, lamb and horse.
