[Richie V]

MY MUM'S BROTHERS AUNTYS UNCLES FRIEND WORKS IN THE MET OFFICE AND HE SAYS 40CM OF SNOW FOR LOWLAND YORSKHIRE AND 50-60CM FOR HIGHER GROUND, GET READY FOLKS, ITS' COMING.

NOOO... THE BELLS TORMENT MEEEEE, THE SHEEP ARE LOOKING AT US WITH HATRED IN THEIR EYES... I SENSE BLACK THINGS, EVIL BLACK THINGS, WITH WINGS.... WHATS FOR TEA TONIGHT FARTHER, SECRETS AND LIES? BLACK, BLACK BLACKNESS ALL AROUND.

In a word... It wont happen...

I'll get my coat!

[Barking_Mad]

Not much downgrading of the snow looking at the forecasts. Some pretty decent totals on the way, and a tricky drive home of it arrives on time.

[Becca]

What time will it arrive??

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

down to -2.7C, things heading in the right direction.

[joggs]

Around 5pm west of region.

[Sunny_AS]

What time will it arrive??

I would say around 3pm tomorrow for western parts of our region.

18z looking much better as well

Tomorrow's snow event is really exciting when you consider large parts of Yorkshire have in excess of 15cm of snow. The NAE goes for 22mm here which could equate to anywhere between 5-25cm of snow, it just depends on how wet the snow is. If we do see the upper end total's on top of the near foot of snow on the grass we'd be looking at a spectacular cold spell, perhaps some areas seeing in excess of 50cm overall.

RAMP!

Hopefully some cloud breaks later to allow the temps to take a tumble.Disappointing here in recent days, as the temp hasn't even been below freezing since around last sunday, with the temps constantly around 2c during the day and night and a slow thaw of the snow each day since then.Down to 0.4c currently though.

[Cheese Rice]

The NMM looks excellent for here, obvious risk of it turning to sleet but it's shown as rain/snow so there's every possibility of it been all snow.

Clear uncertainty for South Yorkshire with North/West Yorks in the firing line.

Skies clearing now, -2.2C.

[The PIT]

Looking good at the moment however everything is going to depend on how much the temperature/dew points rise during the day. Would prefer if it was arriving now rather than having a 10-12 hrs of probably warming.

[LeeSnowFan]

Currently -2.9c hard frost

[Weather-history]

18 years ago tonight was the Yorkshire big dump......snowfall wise

Is tonight going to celebrate the 18th anniversary in style?

[Lion]

Just had a look at the radar, the front looks to be moving pretty quick. Want it to wait till dusk at least..so the temps are nice n low. Recorded a high of 2.1° yesterday hope it stays cooler today, was -4 when i got up at 5am

[CasMan]

First time last night since last week that the temperature has dropped below 0 for me, -4.3 which is promising

[PMPhotography]

AHHHHH, MY EYES!!.....

At last! A clear sky! looking forward to some sunshine today,can't remember last time it wasn't cloudy.

Gotta say this week has been the worst kind of cold!

Pretty much a steady +2C day and night!

Constant cloud, occasional sleet and a continuous slow thaw and slush.

Not nice really so looking forward to a change!

Looking likely we could be in for a good dumping tonight before briefly turning to sleet. Might get one more sledging trip if i get up early enough tomorrow!

Temp at -1.6C.

[sunny scunny]

The local forecast looked awesome with significant snowfall this evening, and the temps staying below freezing throughout the night after the snow clears.

It was nice to see the sun, but already clouding over here in Leeds in the last 1/2 hour so don't think you will have sunshine for long I am afraid. A lovely sunrise here as well, from red to currently orange..

[4wd]

The higher roads are already having problems with old snow drifting, it is sliding across the fields here too.

32mph gusts at -2.4C

Agreed PIT, I've gone from -3.0C at 6.30 am to -1.6C now. Obviously still plenty cold enough of course, but given uppers aren't going to be that cold (-1 to -3 850s I think ?), if surface temps get up above freezing then it is going to be that dreaded word, 'marginal'. Also, looking at the radar, unless the band significantly expands (without losing too much intensity) I'm struggling to see where 6-9 hours of snow/rainfall is going to come from ?
