    Well that snow event Thursday night was largely disappointing here, about 1.5" snow is shocking from 24 hours snowfall with the temperature close to freezing.  Had the previous few week been cold and frosty rather than mild we would have been looking at about 8" of snow.. As the air was cold enough but the ground/soil temps where just too tempered from previous mild spells. Also when I lived on leeds road otley 330ft, rather than town centre 200ft the difference could be 6" propper snow cover to 2" slush in centre! So really in borderline snow events ya want to be above 100m baring the odd exception. 

    The Meto warning was a complete flop for low lying areas. 

    Many schools shut early for around 3-5cm of snow the following morning that was gone by lunch time. 

    The forecast was far too bullish for 10-20cm in low lying areas.

    Saw this  post in the Yorkshire thread 

    "Measured 17cm of snow. A bit deeper on the grass. Was hoping for more tbh."

    Hoping for more? There are a lot of snow lovers on this side of the Pennines would bite their arms off for that amount, lol  

    Ha! 

    I'm not happy. I was expecting double. 

    Anyways I'm heading back to Manchester now so I'll be joining you lot in no snow land.

    It's hammering down, almost 20cm, we might reach 30cm if it continues like this. These are the events we need in winter, we had 10 days of rubbish cold in early December waiting for a shower to come from Rovaniemi. Proper organised system from Atlantic provides the best snow event in March. 

    How?!?!?! I'm 8 miles south west of you and its still just fine flakes. 

    Not fair 😞

    Pic is taken on night  setting so light is exaggerated but always love how it isn't dark outside due to the orange glow and snow on nights like this.

    I know where you live as I used to live a few doors down lol, much prefer Cookridge to snow than Bramhope always liked walking to Tesco or ASDA in the snow. 

    And yeah intensity is a joke the radar makes it seem like its getting heavier but its not just constant super fine light snow.

    I'm back at height rather than in Leeds (170m, not far from Chain Bar). We did pretty well during the afternoon (round about 2-3 inches). Snow looked a tad wet though in the early evening.

    It picked up an hour ago and we finally lost the the road since it's not been gritted since about 6. 

    Met Office should be correct here.

    Aim is to hit 13cm for the best event since 2013.

    Intensity is rubbish here maybe averaging 0.25cm an hour 

     

    Looking at around 10cm maybe.

    The flat point behind the cold front and before the rear tilt is just north of Blackpool now. Somewhere east or south of there (Whetherby if it's not too flat) is going to have a cracker given how lovely the back half looks. 

    We should be good but there's a chance of a gap unless it sinks a little.

     

    How's the snow looking where you are?

    I'm trying to stay positive but very hard to, time is ticking away with very little action and settling outside. 

    I'm not writing it off yet though when it will get colder after midnight and at least 7 hours precipitation to go from now. A couple of hours heavy snow early tomorrow morningg could easily drop 3'' or so so who knows.

    True. 

    There's around 10-11 hours left but the first 7 hours of the amber warning have been poor for low ground.
