light snow again here in Leeds - not sure how or why because radar suggests it should be dry, but some showers seem to be emerging from the North York Moors so who knows, maybe a surprise follow up shower or two. Doubt it will produce anything though!

[reef]

Its coming down very heavily here now. Its rather difficult to measure the level depth as it is blowing around and drifting so much. Its a pretty sizable dumping though!

[The PIT]

Some light stuff over towards Leeds and Bradford on the radar.

Wait til morning unless you're doing a midnight reading.

Well after approx 1 hour of moderate snow, it has now stopped in Barnsley, and we now have about 2cm. Overall a major disappointment...particularly given other areas of Yorkshire have done really well with 5-15cm.

Models looking promising for next few weeks, so hopefully we'll get something moving in from the east rather than west so we avoid the snow shield we've experienced today.

I went out in it an hour or so ago. Icy rain then (with some big fat icy snowflakes). All done now, I think. Might be the odd light shower overnight? What's fog likely to do to all the snow? Would like to go out for a walk in it tomorrow ideally!

We never had any drifting because the wind never got up here, strangely.

[Cheese Rice]

Yep been snowing lightly here for past hour, very small flakes so unlikely to add anything to snow cover.

Temperatures rising fast: -1.6c

[johnholmes]

Well happy bunny here but now need clear skies to preserve the ice day then 100% satisfied.

blimey Pit-that is a rare comment-good to hear-how much in your area of Sheffield?

4cm possibly 5cm here and its about atopped after 6 hours which is not often Doncaster gets 6 hours of snow.

[string]

Snowing in epworth and still heavy. a lot of drifts of snow too so cant really measure but at a guess about 3 or 4 inchs

[rob1603]

It's been snowing in Grantham ,lincs since about 6 been really fine snow but constant, hoping for the bigger flakes soon.

You missed my other one about met office being correct.

[sunny scunny]

Snowing like mad here with big flakes.It looks like being all over soon though.

[Steady]

In the north of sheff we have ended up with a respectable 8cm average covering. Similar readings across even some of the lower ground in the city. Pleased that we did so well even though it came from the west. Im now looking forward to next week...maybe!

[syncmaster]

Amazing been light snow since 4.30 and now they bring out the big guns currently 4cms looks like at least another hours worth but the front seems to have slowed to a snails pace

to what it was buy hey, not complaining

grief are you on some kind of happy drug mate?

Considering how slow it started it was a very good forecast.

[Harsh Climate]

GFS way out of sync regarding where the precipitation should be.

[surfersparks]

Started snowing at 4pm here in Beverley and its still falling and getting heavier - easily 10cm+. Our 10 month old puppies are loving it... First taste of snow... Just like little kids except they dont need to put a coat and wellies on :-)))

4cm? Double that here and still snowing.

I don't care as long as the rest of the run is right.

[The PIT]

Think my ice day is going west 0C now. Ah well never mind 99% happy.

[yorkieblade]

Slow start but we got around 2.5 " ...nice blizzard at one point as well

yes I love watching dogs hurtle through the snow with their nose in it, then stop and throw their heads up to try and catch it off their nose-I had a beagle who did that every time it snowed.

[Cal]

Good call by the Met O on snow depths, even if the timing was slightly earlier than expected looking at the models.

Up early to take the kids sledging in the morning !!

[Lincs Observation]

Update 22.10

6-8" Drifts but a level 2-3" of snow and still falling, the wind has played a big part tonight, reports of many of the big hills around here like Cadwell Hill, and hills around Lincoln been extremely tricky if not impassable.
