How Much Snow Have You Got?

[ISAAC]

around 12-15cm widely here in south stoke. More so up north!

[johnholmes]

update on my 2330 report, the total is now 34/35cm-truly astounding amount for Doncaster

its 34cm after more plods around front and back, over the tops of wellies, something I've not experienced since I lived with my parents, so I suppose level snow of 1 foot would be 1947, and that 500ft up on the edge of the Peak District. I see Potty has about 7 inches more and still waiting for Pit to give his depth, someone at Lodge Moor way above Sheffield gave an amount which I forget now, 18 inches or so.

The fall in a swathe from the Lincs coast, through Doncaster and to Sheffield with approx 20+ miles either side is a once in a lifetime occurrence I would think.

No Met O Flash messages before midnight anyway when I had 18cm, yes jh said it, I find that appalling.

[Thundery wintry showers]

4-5cm in Norwich, mostly icy after thaw late on Monday and subsequent refreeze.

There were a few short-lived dustings on Thursday and Friday, about 3-4cm accumulated Saturday morning before reducing to 2cm in sunshine, then heavy snow showers till 4pm on Monday brought the snow cover to a maximum depth of 6-7cm.

Up in Cleadon my parents reported a maximum depth of approximately 17cm on the 28th November, it thawed to about 8cm level depth by the morning of the 30th but is now in the process of reaccumulating (so not quite as deep as last January but still remarkable for late November). Marginality near the coast has reduced the extent of the overall depths as there is even more of it inland.

1FT of snow here, with the possibility of more snow later and overnight.

Yet I had a "severe" weather "warning" for 2-5cm and got diddly squat. And people wonder why the Met Office gets slated for southern bias!

[Just Before Dawn]

20cm here in Louth. Best snow total for here since the winter of '81. Extraordinary.

[johnholmes]

Just got in from trying to go to work but I literally got stuck in the snow on the paths. It's coming past my knee's almost to my thighs in some places so easily 3-4 FOOT deep in North Lincoln.

even with the incredible snowfall in your area 3-4ft seems a bit on the high side, would you do me a favour when you are able and take some more measurements around your house. If its drifted ignore that area.

many thanks

I want to collate all the depths that seemed to be under the snowband last night into this morning.

Anyone else see this in Lincs, Derbyshore, south Yorkshire please drop your amounts in here for me.

thanks again

Not sure of the technical definition of level snow depth but will quote the numbers if it helps.

A plastic table in the back yard is shown in the photo below. It is in a fairly sheltered position but as you may be able to see one side seems to be slightly higher than the other. Depending on where I place the wooden measuring pole I can get a reading between 45cm and 51cm. SW Chesterfield is the location.

thanks for that

used to live in Holmewood, born there, so the area is well known to me, which part of Chesterfield?

[SP1986]

A very large (for here), 1cm on the ground!

[NorthYorksWeather]

28cm currently on the ground in york and still coming down heavy

[moses]

thanks for that

Yep, im from Chesterfield too. 48 cms in Whittington. Truly astounding. I think the 78/9 winter was the last time this happened. Then, everyone got together, shovels etc... and sept all driveways/access roads. Now its every man for himself. I was genuinely shocked at the amount. I do feel the Met O have grossly underestimated this one!!

[Winter Wonder Land]

32cm in Barnsley, 1/2 mile from town centre... Amazing really

How much more is likely to fall in the next 24hours?

[compo]

This is my first post. I live between Gainsborough and Sprunehorpe on the side of the River Trent. We had 45cm between 3.30pm yesterday and 7am this morning. Never seen so much here in 30 years.

I totally agree and have said so a couple of times-very poor

tks for the extra info and know Whittington-is that where the old lamp works used to be?

[rbw]

1cm here - some now melted and much turned to ice. Now minus 2.8C

[paul tall]

Wow some incredible amounts reported in the South Yorkshire and Derbyshire and Lincolnshire areas, and all off one fall? Last time I measured this afternoon I had 24cm, which is deep enough, and that has accumulated over a number of days from showers.

Bad spelling mistake in the excitement. Should be sprunehorpe.

[Alex95]

[matt 1975]
