At 11.58am it was 2.2c, cloudy, fairly calm. All of a sudden a 40k/mh gust brought a blanket of snow down, in literally 1 second. As I type, its 12.12pm, total and utter whiteout, and the temperature is -1.8c. The temperature has dropped FOUR DEGREES in 14 minutes.

Oh, -1.9c now.

[Chris Colman]

do you reckon that will track its way across yorkshire or is it just a shower?

[paul tall]

It appears to be tracking north to south, so yes.

[Weather Watch]

Heavy Accumulations likely over the next 24 hours for Sheffield, Mansfield, Nottingham and Lincoln.

Severity Risk sporadically transferring to Peterborough and Camborough as the systems move through.

Stayed at Pickering in North Yorkshire last night, measured the snowfall accumulations to be 5 - 7 cm on average.

I'm in York City at the moment and I'll be heading south, next stop Lincoln, anyone have any advice on where their is currently the heaviest accumulations already in any of the places mentioned above.

Kindest Regards,

Well no snow here on the south coast. A few cars have a light dusting where it fell inland overnight. It's sunny and clear here but a tad cold.

THE MET OFFICE have issued an severe weather alert for East Anglia at 12.09pm saying an area of heavy snow is likely to arrive this afternoon. Accumlations in places. Have checked radar and it seems to be heading that way. N-NW direction. Looks like it'll miss us in the south east completely.

Is the cloud thickening there anyone?

No south east will get snow as well. Met Ofiice has put warning of south east as well saying that there could be several cms in places. Will gradually die out this evening.

Yes as said in Northumberland & Co Durham we had a real snow storm lasting about 1hr or so and dropping another 6-8cm on top of already lying snow. Blizzard like for a while and even had thunder and lightening.

This band of snow moving south now so someone will get it!!

[Darren Bown]

Hewavy snow here in Bury. Was looking highly unlikely for any more snow earlier when it rained/sleeted for around 20 mins! Now snowing hard, and accumulating where snow hasnt melted slightly.

[Ross B]

Heavy snow this morning will load up pictures later- a few cm's now starting to drift in the wind

[Cakie]

:shock: Currently white out blizzard conditions. It started with really high winds, swirling around but has now settled in to a steady dumping of snow

:? Hmmm, think I better phone hubbie & tell him to get home

p.s. Snowy - glad to hear you got some or I would never hear the last of it :roll: :roll:

[Mrs Snow Lover]

same here right now katie! unbelievable, not seen this in years!

mega mega heavy and building up fast!

[thejailender]

It seems that teh third band of snow has now cleared us here, it lasted just short of 2 hours, but dropped loads of snow, but because of the wind there is only about 2-3" of snow with deep drifts against buildings/fences etc.

There seems to be a few other showers following on behind though, Can't wait to see the 1300 radar picture to see if we are in for more

[MR CB]

No south east will get snow as well.  Met Ofiice has put warning of south east as well saying that there could be several cms in places.  Will gradually die out this evening.

Weather fan.

The warning doesn't mention East or West Sussex so I'm not really expecting anything. Shame. I live on the coast too so my chances are even lower I guess. That warning wasn't on there when I last posted. Seems that they are sure where the snow is actually heading. Most of it seems to be heading to the north / north east of me. :cry:

[R.P. McMurphy]
