Just been out the back this time to take a pic and its dripping well from the shed, -1.1C the weather station reads and its melting.

[Lion]

We've had a right dumping up here. Surprised you haven't done so well Pit. We are quite elevated here though. Will take a piccy if i can work out how to upload

[boyzie]

Good lord! Had a right dump here. Plastered against my back windows. No way im getting to work today. Much more on the way? Local bbc forecast says so.

Morning all. Great to hear some good totals coming in! Not to be this time round for us. Heavy sleet rattling against the window all night on a mega strong Easterly gale!

Just turned snowy now and starting to lay too with a good layer of slushy wet snow on the roads can't see it being an issue though

.

Temp 0.6C with dew point of 0.4C.

[paul m]

[boyzie]

22cm here in the high Dales above Skipton. Drifts up to around 4 feet in places. School run is going to be fun!

[Snowman 2013]

After a breif break this morning the snow has started falling again now

[Arnie22]

Well well well - didn't expect this amount and its still snowing

[Machu Picchu]

Great pictures, you've certainly done very well.

Many thanks Aaron, hopefully it'll keep coming down for a while.

Had to use a torch to give enough illumination for the autofocus to operate, the flash did the rest.

[doctordunc]

Less in Skipton itself, although biggest dumping of the winter thus far... BBC says heavy snow this pm. Where's that coming from?

[Cheese Rice]

17-24cm here not too shabby. Continuous snowfall though many flakes but small.

Current temp -1.5c

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Steady snow has fallen here for the past few hours leaving a good 4-5cm on every surface, I was not expecting anything so a nice suprise. Temp 0.4 with dew of -1.5

[farmans]

Some people are suggesting Sheffield hasn't done well and that there was only 3-4cm?

I Live at average height for Sheffield and I can confirm there have been over 20cms of snow. I will measure later, it's at least 20cms and it's still snowing albeit lightly.

My mum lives in the lowest part of Sheffield and she tells me that the roads are awful and this is the worst since 2010.

So where is Sheffield there has been 3-4cms I'm not quite sure.

This is turning out to be an awesome event for Sheffield.

Sheffield 150m

Mornin' all

just been out to clear the car off for the other half. it was clear last night after she'd come back (around 8:45pm) and there was 5 1/2" standing snow on it's roof

when it gets lighter, I'll nip out and take some pics, as it's still falling and I've got another car I can use to get an overall total so far

edit: I should add, her car was partially under a tree!

Rough translation:

Good lord! Had a right dump here. Plastered against my back windows. No way im going to work today. Stomachs a right mess. Local bbc news say a 24hr bugs going round.

SORRY Boyzie mate, your comments been sat there winking at me, the bull couldn't resist the red rag, as usual.

I'm only going to moan about this once but the North of York has fared very poorly last night.

Rain washed away at least 1cm which has been topped up by 2cm overnight.

Drive to work from Strensall to Linton was a doddle even on the backroads.

Right, moan over and i'm glad for all of you who did well.

Nobody will deny you a bloody good moan after that outcome mate.

[Aaron]

Radar looks pretty good for a few more hours of snow, albeit light, lots of little flakes in a breeze.

[stupotlee]

"winter maintenance manager" from sheffield council (gritter bloke) on bbc radio sheffield just now:

"the snow set to continue, we're doing our best, but it could well get worse again. it's definitely not over and we've got another day to go before we can really start to get on top of it"

what?
