I've got to travel from Penistone to a client's in Worsborough tomorrow morning, by bus.
I've a funny feeling I won't be making it....
Currently it's 0.6C with a dew of -1C. Bring on the snow

To say it’s meant to snow in the morning it doesn’t really feel cold out! Is there colder air due to move in? Could be a damp squib here in York again if not
Currently, it's 1C out, with a dew of -0.9C around here, so it's cold enough for snow for us.
as for the cold moving in, not sure, haven't really followed developments for a number of days as I've been decorating
if you don't have a weather station, you could do what I've done and found a local station (just about quarter of a mile away from me) on wunderground.com to keep tabs on your local conditions

Fingers crossed for South Yorkshire
As it stands the higher parts of Leeds and Bradford could be buried! ?
NW very own forecast has us in Penistone under 6-8 hours of moderate to heavy snow on Thursday
-
Very strange.
Temps up, but dew point down.
It's that normal?
-
last nights ppn looks like it's looping back on itself ready to do a 180 and come back
shame it's spinning off out to the north-east towards norway.....
-
Looks like the whole main band missed us by about 20 miles
Saturday into Sunday looks tasty though
-
another one for the "snowing here" posts
surfaces that aren't concrete, tarmac or mud are developing a covering already....

River Don is getting close to being bad on forecast
From here I can see that the banks that are usually 2 to 3 feet above the river level are almost being breached.
Luckily, we're far enough up the valley to not be affected if they do.

Temps have risen a degree in the last 1.5 hours.
Current +1C dew point -.1C
Could do without anymore snow for now, Thursday panicked a number of carers and 2 even walked off the job!

For a regular road vehicle, as apposed to true off-road , the Volvo AWD system is excellent. I’ve got an XC60 and its got me out of several tricky situations without any fuss over the last few years. Yesterday, I managed to get all over Barnsley as I needed whilst cars, vans, and HGVs were getting stuck and being abandoned all over the place.
My 4 year lease ends in March so this time I’ve gone for an XC40, and hoping it performs just as well!
We've a Vauxhall Mokka 4x4. even though it's a Vauxhall, it's never failed us when getting to calls. except when we got stuck in a 6ft drift just up the back of Oxspring a couple of years ago (during the beast from the east). Luckily a couple of passing Range Rovers spotted us and towed us out

Had a quick look at the charts/data and can't see more than a short period of snow/sleet/freezing rain before all rain as the front sweeps through tomorrow morning.
Uppers reaching around 1c when precipitation hits, without light winds we won't get any evaporative cooling. The dewpoint at 6am expected to be 1 or 2c and the 0 degree isotherm is way the wrong side of marginal. I would even expect rain later saturday morning rising to above 250m.
Won't be in the slightest bit dissapointed as had a memorable event yesterday!
I'll take that. As you said, it was memorable yesterday.
wash it away, a brief warming then back into an even colder, snowier reload (wishful thinking at it's best )

Walk with dog at 7.15am
I know where you are! I come past regularly on the bus, on my way to a clients.
In fact ,I was on my way to him yesterday, but the driver was turning back at the medical centre, but I needed to be at the far end of the route

good morning all. current conditions attached.
lovely skies this morning - sunny and blue, with a pink layer.
Just been out to defrost the car. The snow wasn't crunchy as many have noted, but the surfaces that didn't have snow were very icy.
The electric mirrors on the car had frozen closed in and there was an ice layer on the inside of the car windows as well as outside
There's a warehouse just across the back here, their electric gate had frozen shut so none of the workers could get in
stay safe if venturing out today

And just like that *poof* the stalled band dissipates within about 45 mins
All stopped and it's very foggy now.
This is a pic from our camera. Normally we can't see anything at night, just the odd car coming around with headlights (the camera is in a bedroom window and the IR reflects off the glass and renders the camera useless). It's amazing how little light it takes to reflect off the snow and act like a natural night vision

Temp: -0.1 Dew: -0.3
Had approx. 16cm (measured on top of wheelie bin) of snow.
just been out to a clients that was up a back lane and the other carers couldn't get to (we have 4x4) and the treads of the tracks we left on the back driveway of our house were covered again by the light snow that's falling.
what an ~+*awesome*+~ day

This is the main road into Penistone.
Why do I have Shakin Stevens going through my head?

Just got in from making an aborted attempt at getting to a client's in Worsborough from Penistone.
All Stagecoach bus services in Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster have been suspended from 11:15am
Got to thank our driver, an absolute star, got us into Penistone and just had to walk the last few miles home
Here's a few pics of the journey

Even Barnsley Interchange isn't immune to it. Of all the places, I'd have though this would be kept clear
-
Just on a bus, we're making our way slowly to Barnsley.
I'm questioning now whether I've made the right decision trying to get to work (I'm a carer, so that is a yes obviously!)
Going to be interesting trying to get home though
-
just done an old fashioned "stick your head outside" forecast.
It's heavy ice pellets outside at the moment. I can see it getting dicey on the roads pretty quickly
