Wait for the floods

[sunny scunny]

It's currently the best snowfall of the whole evening. A good covering now.

[Craigers]

Just got heavy again!!!!

[Aaron]

Seen no plows, a car was stuck on our road but they managed to get up. First time I've seen a car get stuck on our road.

[Barking_Mad]

There's an awful lot of water to melt, and quite quickly by the looks.

[Just Before Dawn]

Sleet's turned to rain - no idea why, snow to the south and north of us. You couldn't make it up.

[reef]

Its pretty much sleet here now aswell, Im right next to the Humber , so it might still be just about snow at home but I wont know until morning.

Temperature at home 0.8C with a dewpoint of 0.1C so getting pretty marginal.

Here's the back street taken 15 mins ago:

[Mellis]

Quite heavy medium size flakes here and has been for good 15mins, temp -0.8c.

[swfc]

think looking at the radar were all but done here.decent snowfall overall

[Thundery wintry showers]

Strange how marginality affects different locations in different events- I'm at -0.6C with everything having fallen as snow so far, and some areas of the region are marginal and are seeing sleet/rain mixes. Yet some of those same areas had a sizeable top-up of their snow cover during last Sunday night's frontal event with temperatures close to or just below freezing while I was stuck up at +1C for most of the night on that occasion with no significant accumulations.

[allenar]

Imagine if the cold clung on. Sundays front would bring the country to a standstill,

[Winter Cold]

the funny radar images are very annoying arent they! ive never known it do that before (im using the met office website) so many straight or sharp lines around, its hard to make out whats happening, why is it doing that?

Its difficult to judge how much more there is to come, plenty of blues still out to the west heading our way, but with the strange echos and seemingly miss-matches in colour and intensity its frustrating haha!

[Mark Griffin]

All done here. Just over 10cm here so not too bad

[jackst01]

Amazing that scenes like this only get a yellow alert from the Met Office. If this had have been London it would be worldwide news!

Well, looks like I was wrong and the M62 stayed open, even if only one lane each way. The M6 on the other hand..............

I'm only about ten miles away from you in Osmotherley and we did ok out of last Sundays event into Monday. Some of the drifts up on the moors were amazing, just hope I get a chance to go for a walk tomorrow and take some pics of them with this top up. Amazing the difference a little elevation can give you!

[Machu Picchu]

Still coming down well here, enough to make visibility poor, i can just make out the amber flashing lights of the plough gritter on top of the

hill crawling (crawling for a gritter driver anyway) .along Halifax Road.

Wheelie bins got plenty on top, i cleared the old snow off earlier so i can get an accurate fresh snow reading, its looking a good 6inch so far

and theres still no let up in intensity and flake size is increasing again.

Theres a serious amount of snow cover here, most of last weeks snow is still on the fields, its only the roads and parts of the paths that were clear

and now with this load on top its going to be interesting as to what happens with the river, works was already flooded out in July and theres a great possibility

it could be again.

[Snowman 2013]

back to heavy snow here now after a brief spell of sleet and rain

[sunny scunny]

It's still very good here atm, with the temp and dew points not rising and constant light snow.

[reef]

Back to proper snow here too and very heavy indeed. It cant seem to make its mind up what it wants to fall as at the moment!

[swfc]

still light snow here and temps still below zero.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Snow intensity has increased to moderate-heavy again- I can't tell what's coming up on the radar because of the glitch over West Yorkshire so everything is a bit of a surprise at the moment. Temp has crept up but only to -0.5.

[Cheese Rice]

Still moderate snow here it's clear the radar is dodgy as there's a square shape over N England.

[sunny scunny]

Heavy snow with massive flakes.It's turning into another fantastic event here after a slow start.
