I dont know but its annoying lol its just "fine snow" and has been for 3 hours!! really hope it picks up the radar is showing some nice juicy showers heading this way lets hope it picks up! still a few others to go before it moves down south

[JordanF]

Currently Heavy snow... approx 2/3 inches

[Fentonsnow]

Moderate snow in Leeds.

Its quite common under frontal snow for Leeds to see snow while nearby areas (Sheffield etc) seeing rain or sleet.

Must be that we are further north.

[Tony Beets]

Lindley Huddersfield, snowing now small flakes and winds picking up. About 5 mm so far.

CF is east Leeds of by about 10 miles and I haven't seen anything particularly heavy on the radar.

Thats some exceptionally localized snowfall.

Not in this instance .... Just finer (so may look like sleet) here as we are receiving lighter precipitation ... Temperature still -2.1 here in SE Sheff albeit I'm at around 190m asl but still a relatively urban area.

Just thought I'd let people in central north yorkshire/west yorkshire know that we have had a couple of hours of very heavy snow as the front has pepped up over this region. The heavy precip is due to track southeastwards - anywhere along the A65 corridor should see some preety decent snow in the next hour or so, this filtering into west/south yorkshire thereafter - if it maintains its intensity of course.

Yes Damian, we have had about 3cm in the last hour.

Good luck everbody.

[Aaron]

Appear to be in a drier patch here..

[SnowRules]

Slightly heavier snow here, larger flakes.

[topher41]

Quite heavy here in Boston from when it started 30 mins ago

[Harsh Climate]

Banging it down now! snow being wipped all over the place due to the wind and strangely blowing from east to west still.

Well it seems East Leeds has done amazingly well today- looking at the radar it does seem to have been more intense throughout as its passed leeds and I'm not far off the 10cm mark already- no exaggeration i promise! These three videos (apologies if they haven't come out too smoothly) were taken an hour ago about half past 5 and its been constant and heavy ever since. Looking forward to the grand total whatever that may be!

[richjb78]

Pretty much a non event in Barnsley so far. Hoping something more intense is on its way!

[Harsh Climate]

Still small flakes. Come on give me those tea plate ones!

[cowdog]

SNOW finally - but its here with a revengance already 3 cm's in less than 20 minutes. Thanks to the Freezing rain we had since about 1:30 / 2pm it has instantly settled

Amazing really as the temp has only droped from 0.1 to be -0.1 and straight switch to snow instead of rain

Location btw: Is south of Skipton, is really amazing what just a few miles north means in terms of it snowing since afternoon.

[sparky1972]

not getting excited here, very fine flakes, might get 2mm depth of snow at this rate, still at least we got snow. lol

It's surface versus upper.

All day xcweather has reported Leeds having SE winds rather than the S or SW winds in the upper atmosphere.

I recall a similar situation last winter where in the height of the Dec 10 cold spell there was a massive batch of showers looking to move inland on a NE wind however they never made it more than a mile inland because surface winds were NW.

[The PIT]

Getting heavier here as well road now covered guess just over a cm on the level. Drifting though in the breeze.

[SnowRules]

Moderate snowfall here, nice big snowflakes.

[the Steward]

-2 here at 190 meters S/W sheffield and nearly 2cm. Getting heavier. Road been covered for over an hour.

[Schnee]

It's looking quite nice here from my webcam:
