Should be snow mate, been rather heavy for the last 5-10mins and looking at the NW Extra radar it looks like a Bullseye for the really heavy stuff here

Think it was doing that (showing precip when it was a half hour+ behind) as it crossed the country.

Got a very nice layer of snow here now, past 2cm's on the fields.

Well frontal snow can still happen. First decent attempt for about 13 years. Only problem is that the front is moving fairly fast so it shouldn't last long.

And temps are on the rise at Buxton

[The PIT]

Coming down nicely here there were three cars getting stuck just down from our house. Guess they couldn't drive as everyone else has gone straight up.

Temps keep droping here, hope to get snow here soon

temps at 17:56 1.5c, dew point at -1.0c

Hi mate, temp is 1.8c with a dew point of -1.4 with a lot of cloud cover

I was keeping an eye on that and it looks like the heavier echo is shifting NE'wards, bulls eye for both of us.

Congrats fingers crossed i see something, although i don't think it will settle, wet bulb 0.7c unless temp drops when the precip hits. Can anyone report a drop of temp during the snow? if so by how much. thanks

Temps are still dropping away here, current temp -0.8c DP -1.1c.

[The PIT]

One of the rare times that the heavy stuff appears over us instead of going around.

LOL netweather thinks it's rain. Duff radar.

Yeah It will be snow, similar temps in the Leeds area when the PPN hit and it was snow, temps will drop down as well.

Hope so, the rate that band is fizzling out i'll be lucky to get 50 snowflakes lol, blooming penines for ya.

[Winter Warmer]

nice heavy snow here. am i right in thinking rain may come after and wash it away?

[Mark Bayley]

Big flakes now,have 2cm on the ground. Temp 0.5c. Wasn't expecting it, pleasant surprise

Snowing moderately here, the PPN should have passed by now. Cant imagine anywhere getting above 5cm, south Yorkshire look to be doing the best with the heavier PPN, probably 5cm in South Yorkshire, 3cm In West/North West Yorkshire and 2cm in east Yorkshire.

Snowing here in willerby, hull

[Delta76]

Closing in on 2 inch of snow down here on the hills East of Rotherham ( Wickersley )

I doubt it, even though I'm further north the temp is still dropping here even though I'm on the eastern edge of the precipitation it is still snow.

Agree with all estimations accept for the East Yorkshire one, places in East Yorkshire will be lucky to get 0.5cm-1cm

[waynetheweatherman]

Certainly been worse here than i though, i thought sleet at best!

[Slowpoke]

It was 2.6oC when the band hit us today and snow fell straight away. In the space of about twenty minutes however, the temperature dropped to about 0.9oC.

[The PIT]

Just about finished now so I'll be out in a bit to shovel it away.

[Cheese Rice]

Snowing lightly now, just measured the snow. 3cm on the ground and 5cm on the grass. Overall a disappointment, I was hoping for at least 5cm on the ground.
