[sunny scunny]

It's not snowing at the moment, but it looks like there could still be a bit more to come in a little while.

[Bradowl]

Wasn't expecting this amount of snow.

I had a quick look in the model thread and it was eerily quiet and subdued, was waiting for the tumble weed to roll past.

Seems to have knocked them pretty bad in there. It could all change by then but its a concern. i was hoping that with

the SSW to start taking effect by the 25th as chiono predicted, we may drop lucky and this spell would prolong into Feb.

yes long fetch south west winds all the way threw scandinavia.oh well make most of this week.

[Machu Picchu]

The heavy snows made a comeback here, just hope it doesn't end up crying like Hatton.

The snow risk charts on here have snow over us until midnight, how accurate are they usually?

[swfc]

It does look as the snow as extended a lot further west than forecast.Showers seem to be piling in that bit further south too

Cheers bud.

Hit a good patch here, its well and truly hammering it down, Visibility like fog.

[joggs]

Morning all, got 3" fresh snowfall here in Bingleyand radar looks promising.Missed most of it falling due to having some kip for bloody work.What totals we all talking? Laters n enjoy. I see Adam saw some decent falls lol

[Polar Maritime]

Still moderate snow here, looking at the radar we still have a good few hours left yet, with the front moving more W/N/W now.

[Machu Picchu]

This is looking really good, hit 21cm on the wheelie bin, Fridays snow was on it so i'd say about 15cm fallen so far and still coming down

like it was 4hours ago.

[Love Snow]

About 15-20cm in Morley rough guess still snowing too :-D

[Machu Picchu]

-1.3C, winds calmed down a lot, lost count of the times the gritters have done the main road, its been ploughed 4 times

and its still covered.

Ploughed 5 times now.

All Arriva buses cancelled

[SnOwFeSt]

Annoying gap in the front. Heavy snow to the south of us and heavy snow to the north! Looks like more heavy stuff piling in from the east so should be ok for a bit more! A few inches here and counting...

[Machu Picchu]

we've been really lucky here the last few hours, we keep getting those thin bands of heavier ppn coming straight over the top of us.

[The PIT]

Now that's more like it. A small accumulation of snow. Haven't measured the depth yet guesstimate 3cm to 4cm of new snow.

Same here, it's been rather annoying seeing the same snow plough go past my house three times in the space of 20 minutes

That's hilarious. I was always under the impression Sheffield did well for snow but you seemed to have dispelled such preconceptions lately.

[disco-barry]
