We have very light sleet/snow falling here. Wasn't expecting much today but if it's settling where you are then you never know

[Lion]

Heavier showers here, but i have elevation on my side

[ice 1]

Light rain in otley just been out with dogs

[Posh12]

Rain in skegness horrid

[Barking_Mad]

Morning we have slizzow (sleet/snizzle/snow) here at the moment quite heavy though..not settling well did on the dog.

Also settled on my dog. Everything is against us!

[disco-barry]

It's been snowing lightly all morning here, everything is covered nicely but nothing of real note as regards to precipitation.

[Just Before Dawn]

Just rain here, though the temp and dews are very slowly getting lower. V. marginal for this neck of the woods I think.

[bryan629]

Morning.

i have to travel from leeds to york in around an hour, for a few hours at least... i cant make my mind up if things could get bothersome relating to travel this afternoon.... what do you think. would you risk it. ?

[johnholmes]

I think most will find that above 7-800ft is where it is snowing and this may lower to 600ft during the day, for settling snow, falling to lower levels at times with possibly some temporary covering, and even very low levels may see some temporary wet snow but I doubt by the time this ends that places below 500ft will have much if any cover.

I may be wrong, I hope for the snow lovers I am.

Not a good day for driving in the Peak District with 10cm+ going to accumulate on the higher road sections and increasingly later today being blow into drifts.

The chance of any disruptive snow before this evening is probably less than 5%. So I would go ; )

Edit: Sorry just seen johns reply

Been snowing since about 7:30 here, but before that it was sleet / rain and the ground as a result is very wet. Its settling though on most grass, but looking at the radar wont be long before we start to get some more intense snow and that might make it settle elsewhere.

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Cold wet n raining here in skeg :(0

[Barking_Mad]

not going to happen here in Leeds unless you have really good elevation, i suspect rain for most of the day.

[Kentish Snowman in Yorks]

Just plain old rain here now. Very slight accumulations on car and grass but temperature now rising slightly at 1.3c. As suspected, it is all a bit too marginal so far.

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

Steady light snow all morning, approx. 2 cms so far. Temp -0.3c, DP -2.2c.

[Harsh Climate]

not going to happen here in Leeds unless you have really good elevation, i suspect rain for most of the day.

I think we may see something tonight before the precipitation moves south, at around 9pm the 0C isotherm, uppers and dew point should just about be good enough for snow.

But how much precipitation we have left will be very debatable

.

I think western parts are favoured for any snow upro midnight, then that risk extends to south yorkshire, by then all factors should be sufficiant for some low level snow for that area.

I think west of leeds may get a couple of centimetres later and south yorkshire could get 1-2". Obviously much more on higher ground with 10cm+ possible.

[The PIT]

Still Snowing but overall too light to give more than a slight wet covering on grass and cars. Rising temps and dew points and I wouldn't be surprised to see this turn back to rain again later on.

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Its been another damp squiib after promising charts earlier in the week story of this winter

[Jonathan Lang]

Its settling on everything that isn't stone, tarmac or soil here now 500ft elevation.

[Richie V]

Hi John, all snow here at 330 ft, barely sticking to grass though.

[Polar Low]

Its been another damp squiib after promising charts earlier in the week story of this winter

You realise it's going EXACTLY as forecast right now? It's 10.43am on Sunday morning, Jeez...

[fazzafarrand]

Plain old rain

2.4oC

Was a bit wintry before but temps going up

[Richie V]

Its wet enough snow to give a readout in the rain gauge, 2.4mm so far.
