Turnin' out to be a brilliant night here in Leeds. Beautiful!

[paul m]

Wow went to bed and just woke up the snowfall is looking great so far

Impressive here on the glen

[sunny scunny]

Heavier snow once again and a good covering now.

[Love Snow]

Impressive here on the glen

Not far away up fountain street :-D

[pottyprof]

Is the trend for it to keep pushing North and sending up to the N/E or is it looking like the pivot will send it Eastwards? Bit of Noob here.

On the radar, the track of the precipitation looks to be heading more inland than just sliding up the east coast as forecast. It looks like the pivot is further south and the low is struggling with the block meaning that we could see some significant snowfall East Yorks/North Lincs. Very difficult to say where for sure but something to keep an eye on.

Back to rain and sleet here on the coast. Driveway is still clear and I think we've lost some accumulation so far due to a thaw. I guess we had it good earlier in the week but I was hoping we'd be on the right side of marginal here...

[Derbyshire_snow]

My Road 45 mins ago it's snowing moderately at the min an is drifting too.

Really heavy snów leeds aint seen snów as heavy as this in a while well happy lol

[LeeSnowFan]

Yes it dosent seem to want to go up east coast as u say its. Pushing further inland some areas are gonna be smiling tomorrow. Hope it's me

[Mark Griffin]

What i find puzzling is earlier on, we had bright echoes on the radar yet nothing but grains falling.. less bright echoes now and its hammering it down. Very odd. The pivot has helped us a lot, just need that band south of us to hold firm.

[Richie V]

Mental here, just mental.

Thanks PP, looking good for Yorkshire.

Just watched a taxi try and get up our hill. Wheels spinning like mad,engine sounding like it was about to blow up lol, but going knowhere. After sliding sideways and ending at an angle on the kerb, he gave it up and slid/reversed backwards down the road. I guess I won't be moving the car anytime soon lol.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Off to bed now. The heaviest stuff is creeping very close to Sandhutton now- should be upon me within 20 minutes- but so far, just light-moderate sleety snow and if anything a slight thaw of existing cover, though the temperature (1.4C, down from 1.7C) is heading slowly in the right direction. I have a nagging feeling that I'll wake up to slush and ice and aggregate depths no higher than I've had today, but reports from within the heavier precipitation suggest that things could turn around.

Moderate snow now and it's great to see the temp going below freezing again, after a few days of temps around 2c.

[LeeSnowFan]

Heavy snow in Barnsley amazing will take pics in morning

[Machu Picchu]

Just been out again, still really heavy, -0.8C, a tad over 5.5cm of fresh so far and quite blustery out there, feels a lot colder.

Gritters have hammered the main road and the ploughs even been over it but they're losing the battle as it covers again within minutes.

As i type its picked up and even 2010 didn't get this heavy, i'm literally watching it pile up on the wheelie bin. Still twinkle snow again, its

weird, just sparkles like its full of glitter.

WOWZERS, this is EPIC.

[LeeSnowFan]

Really don't wanna sleep lol it's amazing out there

[Machu Picchu]

Don't take too much of it, it needs to pass over Tarn to get here.

[yorkieblade]

tomorrows rush hour will be v interesting !

[Barry12]

Beat that Canada!

[Lincstim]

A few images of my garden and street in scunny north lincs.

To be honest scunny has only really had one ten minute spell of very heavy snow with BIG flakes the rest has been smallish flakes at a varied speed been blown around in the blustery wind.

This storm really will be remembered, what makes it much better is its been a long time coming, after being spoilt in 2009 and the epic 2010,

i was expecting the same last winter but apart from a quick fumble in feb she failed to deliver. Then this year we started out with the Easterly

chance that failed on us at the last minute and we jumped on the zonal train so even the biggest optimist must of been doubting.

For me thats why the last 10days or so have been pretty special, winters here.

[Craigers]

look whats brewing just off the humber in the north sea!!!!!!!! if that moves east then BIG BOOM!

[LeeSnowFan]

I agree this will be remembered set to continue for another 8 hours at least wouldn't be surprised to have foot of snow by 9am

Craigers stop lol I need to sleep but I can't now lol what's this boom lol if it effects south yorks I'm happy lol
