The Met Office warning is pretty clear in that it'll be a mostly high ground affair. Looking at the high res models the front is over Yorkshire between 9am-3pm which isn't a particularly long window of opportunity. Plus its during the day, ideally it would had arrived at night. I think realistically we'll see sleety mix to low levels inland, cold rain for east Yorkshire. I'm expecting the snowline to be around 160m from past experience in these situations. 2-5cm sounds about right. I don't expect any lying snow below 160m but you never know.

As a rule of thumb for it to settle at this elevation it has to be snowing in Leeds center. So that's a good sign. I've never in 14 years of being on this forum seen falling and lying at 200m and rain in town. It has to be snowing in the city center, even if it's not settling and wet snow in the city.

I think the models are now firming up on a band of snow pushing in, 1-3cm widely. Have a look at the meto rainfall map, its inline with the other high res models. Expect a warning soon.
