[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Heavy snow here as I type, looks fab in the lamp post outside. I keep on getting the look of the wife which makes me laugh. The local weather website here is predicting totals of around 7cm, can't see it some how but would love to be proven wrong.

[WeatherGuru2012]

how much snow is predicted for west Yorkshire. BTW I am in Kirklees?

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Did you just say B*****D,GSL

The wind is so strong here the flakes are blowing horizontally! The thinnest covering on the car but its a start.

[Barking_Mad]

No snow here in Kirkstall, Leeds.

[Posthill Wanderer]

Hi Posthill

I am up the top of Fartown in Pudsey location wise. Looking forward to a good nite...

Hi. NW Leeds Russ. Near Pudsey Congs cricket club and getting quite giddy....

[Craigers]

So from 2c its dropped so quick to 0.5c all wet surfaces is now covered. this is a big upgrade for low ground areas!

[Cheese Rice]

So who's staying up all night then?

Probably around 1am for me but I'm sure I will be waking up at regular intervals to see what's happening

I'm thinking 2am sleep till 7am then more than likely exam will be cancelled and I'd be really p* off but oh well!

[tugster31]

Very very light here. Been snowing for almost 5hrs and I doubt if we have 1cm, lower your expectations guys unless of course your higher elevation serves you well. Good luck

[Allseasons-Si]

Still nothing here, can't be long now though.

HA HA!,i was in the same shoes as you HC,earlier,it was a big waiting game for it to move up from the south and it stalled at one point for a hour or so and i was thinking the worst but also thinking the best at the same time,as for it to stall further south we would be in the freezer longer in some respect.

[Zak 92]

Been heavy for the last 20 minutes or so and starting to get a decent covering now after the large thaw today!

[swfc]

all but stopped in outibridge,strange after looking at radar?

[NW Leeds Russ]

Hi. NW Leeds Russ. Near Pudsey Congs cricket club and getting quite giddy....

In those new builds off Hough Side Road?

I saw a car having a great time getting out of there yesterday as I walked past! That drive is about 30% !!!.

[nimbus20]

Blizzard like conditions here with quite large flakes, probably very wet flakes but the temperature is decreasing slowly so hopefully a covering could be on the cards.

Now most definately snow, but very wet here so not settling at the moment. Wind is very fierce and gusty.

light snow here now

Good luck that heavier burst lasted for about 10mins here

[snowking]

not to put you on the spot or anything , what do you think our weather will be like a week on wednesday.... bitter... cold... mildish.... or mush?

Haha - no pressure!

Pretty impressive model consensus tonight (OP's and ENS) for a return to something a bit less cold as we move towards the start of next week certainly, and at this stage, with the canadian vortex looking to go on a bit of a sight-seeing tour (the main sight being the north atlantic) we are likely to eventually see something less cold for a time. I still honestly wouldn't place too much emphasis on modelling beyond 120hrs at this stage, as energy direction there continues to differ amongst the UKMO/ECMWF/GFS.

Middle of next week - I would favour temperatures probably in the range of 4-8c (from NE to SW across the UK), though whether we see HP or LP influence is still the biggest question.

Beyond that, with MJO forecasts becoming more keen on phase 8 towards February:

Suggesting something like this:

One would suspect that the atlantic wouldn't be trough dominated for too long...

I see reports of big flakes in Barnsley, and see my area looking good on radar, but outside just a few small flakes are falling, what's happening?

[Bradowl]

Getting a bit heavier here but not settling much yet.

[doctordunc]

Unlikely your exam will be cancelled providing a caretaker and a teacher can get in - even if lessons cancelled.

Wondering if we've a bit of snow coming to Skipton...

[al_13]

I reckon we've had it for about an hour so far, snow is getting thicker and quite gusty, certainly wouldn't call it blizzard.

120M ASL in Worrall.

[Zak 92]

Good luck that heavier burst lasted for about 10mins here

http://www.meteoradar.co.uk/home/maps?bg=0 my snows not coming from spalding

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Small flakes but blowing around like mad sky is starting to go that nice orange colour winds very gusty :-)

[sunny scunny]

The heavier stuff should reach here very soon.

[Jeremy Shockey]

Haha - no pressure!
