[Harsh Climate]

Snowing hard now!

Nice, shouldn't be far off me now then!

[winterof79]

Do people not use the radar ?, can they not see the precipitation bottom left over manchester moving towards yorkshire?

The initial band struggled over the pennines but as Keeley said on look north it will get more organised and more will get over in the next few hours as you can see it building on this picture

Yes i have used the radar......and nothing is getting over the pennines here,and i mean nothing.

[Thundery wintry showers]

A bit irritating that the heavier stuff to the west is being blocked by the Pennines yet heavier stuff keeps also forming just the S and E- still, had more than some so far.

[CasMan]

Give it an hour and if still nothing i will hold my hands up, but i think it will start to make inroads

[PMPhotography]

Snowing heavily here in Scarborough. For those worried about marginality, temp has dropped from +0.2C to -0.6C since the snow arrived.

[Derbyshire_snow]

Nothing but Snizzle here in Dronfield that's our lot then i take it.

[malby]

0.3C and sleeting. Some larger flakes within but no chance of adding to current accumulations - interested to know what it's like on the higher parts round here but agree that extent of snowfall this evening appears to have been overestimated for all but highest ground and points East. Sleeting now in Manchester too according to 1920 obs.

[Harsh Climate]

Chill guys, the weather front expected to give us heavy snow this evening/tonight isn't even over us yet, it's currently in a line NNW from Exeter ~ Belfast, you can clearly see this on the radar. In a few hours time it will merge with what's trying to get over the pennines currently and we will have a good few hours of intense snowfall.

[Richie V]

The oddest thing ever here, I have a 2 metere temp of minus 2.1 c yet a dew point of only minus 0.9 c.

Pressure is falling very rapidly now also.

[sunny scunny]

A little dusting on the pavements here from earlier, but so far not looking like much of an event here.Plenty of time yet though.

[Mellis]

Snowing here now, quite small flakes but settling on road!!

[joggs]

Light to mod snow in Bingley.

[Machu Picchu]

Its coming down here but its no dustbin lid flaked blizzard, -1.0C now.

Phuct over by the Pennines, AGAIN

[Aaron]

The oddest thing ever here, I have a 2 metere temp of minus 2.1 c yet a dew point of only minus 0.9 c.

Pressure is falling very rapidly now also.

That is not possible!

[stevied]

Panic on the streets of Yorkshire #KeepCalm !

[Richie V]

That is not possible!

as far as physics is concerned, no!

Off to check the thermo sensor.

[Winter Warmer]

was snowing for abit earlier here just have to wait for the rest to come now

[The PIT]

Dry here right now. I'm going to take a bulldozer to the Pennines and take a bit of height off them.

[Bradowl]

The oddest thing ever here, I have a 2 metere temp of minus 2.1 c yet a dew point of only minus 0.9 c.

Pressure is falling very rapidly now also.

None of this is coming like I expected, even in north west thread places like St Helens that were reporting rain an hour ago now have heavy snow.

Correct, its not really forecast until around 9ish for us and thats when the fun starts anything before that is again a bonus

[Aaron]

Snowing again, reports of rain are bizarre.

[Winter Warmer]

Snowing again, reports of rain are bizarre.

it did start as icy rain here but quickly turned to snow

[winterof79]

It is doing exactly what i said no snow here re-forming to the east nuf said.

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Nothing here just yet but conditins look good tonight with an air temp of 0.2 and falling and a dew of -3. Keep the faith, the snow is coming.

[winterof79]

Snowing again, reports of rain are bizarre.

They are not bizarre just true mate.The sooner this is over the better....lets move on to the 10th Feb ish....next
