Thats just the crappy bit, you want the heavy batch an hour behind.

[Snowy Shower]

Snow steadily getting heavier here in Pontefract, west yorshire.

[swfc]

[Aaron]

Ignore it, radar error.

[YorkshireLass]

Got fine snow falling in the north of Sheffield, it seems to be settling too :-)

[BA Baracus]

Bits of dandruff in the sky in Leeds. Hopefully the front holds together.

On the subject of Sheffield the main batch has now hit Chesterfield so we need a report from there, Sheffield should be hit anytime.

Snow steadily getting heavier here in Pontefract, west yorshire.

Get what you can out of it, that is also the crappier strand.

[Ridge of High Pressure]

Up at Grenoside at present, has slowly slowly got heavier over the past hour

Hope all that stuff from Northampton is heading our way!

[summer blizzard]

Definitely would have preferred these snow showers. They'd have given way more snow than this decaying front will.

It's not decaying yet and several hours of moderate to heavy snow if it occurs will be better than 10 minutes of varying amounts.

[QueenofEverything]

Moderate snow in Chesterfield , covering everything thats not gritted , but small flakes and blowing in the wind , feeling mighty cold

[Bradowl]

Getting heavier here in rotherham.

[Mark Bayley]

Snow coming down nicely now, road completely covered.

[Ridge of High Pressure]

Yippee, were next

[sparky1972]

[Cal]

Very light snow now. NAE looking ok for yorks n lincs.

[woldsowl]

Think we're going to start losing the intensity from the showers with the front advancing now.

[joggs]

Afternoon all, i see we still on course ableit slightly later but signs are good and alot of places this side of pennines will enjoy a fruitfull eve/night. Light graupal in Bingley

[Craigers]

met office local forecast now has us for heavy snow about 6pm, mmmmmm not so sure about that

Look at the radar mate! its moving north nicely now!

[summer blizzard]

Just popped into the East Midlands thread for the area around Nottingham (thats roughly what will hit west Yorkshire) and reports are very good as to the intensity and accumulation.

[sparky1972]

Very light snow now. NAE looking ok for yorks n lincs.

whats your guesstimate for us in sth lincs, can we expect anything better than this light snizzle?

Look at the radar mate! its moving north nicely now!

which radar should i look at, met office or raintoday or should it not matter?

[Harsh Climate]

Guys check out that line of precipitation that has developed near the wash. This could very well be the sign of a developing convergence zone along the front of our band to the south, keep an eye on it!!
