Cheers mate. The radar accumulation thinks i should of had 14cm but that shows how marginal this event was lol

[sunny scunny]

Hopefully tonight was just a start of things to come during the month.Not quite the totals of Dec 2010 but still a good event tonight

And still very lightly snowing :lol: , though i can hear that inevitable & annoying drip, drip coming from the roof!!

[Craigers]

Just seen the model chat thread and seriously this month could be VERY special for yorkshire! Easterly setting in by next thursday with better snow potential!!!! then greeny high blocking pattern with a massive north easterly out break! AMAZING!

Damn. I can't see there being too much of a thaw though.

The general consensus is for the Scandi high to retrogress towards Greenland and then a notable trough digging down the N.Sea, bringing in a more North Easterly type pattern, whilst temps do not look bitterly cold there is more precipitation about from these events and that can mean somewhere can receive a lot of snow over the next couple of weeks should it pan out as the models are looking.

One final last bow here snow just become moderate with some rather large flakes!!

Exactly but still be colder than it was like last november / december event as its much colder at this time of the year

almost stopped now, very fine. wind dropped after blowing the snow around most of night. Stil -1.3c. snow depth 7 to 9cm where level. Overall a good evening, look forward to more to come during rest of month!

[summer blizzard]

8 hours of snowfall in the end (1-9) so not that long but got 2-3 inches.

Overall i would give this a 6/10 however it was a tale of two halfs with a fairly poor first half before the front went on steroids and we saw the heaviest snowfall in Leeds since 7th Jan 11.

The back end was certainly brilliant and what was even better was how the temperature stayed below freezing.

[Cheese Rice]

Temperatures have nose dived here, after rising to -1.4c we are currently at -2.9c and dropping.

I suspect there will be a red extreme weather warning for Monday morning, drizzle expected at -3.c, alot of black ice likely.

Explain this one, currently snowing on DN17 at 01:15hrs, the wind according to xc weather is southerly/southeasterly, i've watched a line of showers from 0055hrs from north of the humber travel south to where my postcode is, snow blowing in the wind from east to west???

Just checked local weather station and showing an easterly wind, has swung round from a south westerly in the last hour or so.

[Jeremy Shockey]

Could not sleep at 4 am ...... So I went for a night walk in the virgin snow up on the wolds ...... Wonderful ...... 8 inches in places on the hills

[Aaron]

Is there some kind of inversion going on? -7c at Church Fenton (9 miles east) but above freezing in some higher elevations.. hmmm

[disco-barry]

It is 0.1 here in Slaithwaite in the Pennines.

[PMPhotography]

Just about to venture out!

Current temp -2.7C with freezing fog.

It really looks beautiful out there with varying depths.

I'll post some pics later.

[fazzafarrand]

Beautiful scene this morning

Up to 4" of pure white snow

Well below freezing last night so have had no snow melt

Taking the kids sledging in a bit.

[bazookabob]

Morning all! Don't you just love waking up to a thick blanket of snow on a sunny Sunday morning? I see the BBC website is giving Church Fenton the Number 1 spot with 16cm which I believe was reported on here last night. I'm about 8 miles west of there, 8 miles east of Leeds and I've measured an average of 14cm this morning, though its difficult to find somewhere that hasn't drifted. Drifts of over a foot in our garden is quite impressive I reckon! Anyway here's some pics of the garden and street and the last one hopefully shows just how much it got blown into piles. Have a great day everyone...

[snowjoking]

Only 9cm of Snow here considering it snowed for around 8 hours yesterday.

Foggy and +1c at the moment.

[Aaron]

Dripping off the roofs.. sigh.. much colder a few miles east.. lucky Vale of York will keep it longer

[The PIT]

7cm this morning thaw in progress failed on a ice day with a max of 2.2C.
