[Craigers]

Joggs that will mean more wide spread snow cover for Yorkshire :-)

[Mark Griffin]

Where's this second front? The front over South Yorkshire is fizzling away now. We have a few cm's, nothing spectacular

[Machu Picchu]

14cm on the wheelie bin and still --0.4C. i cant believe that 3wks ago i was riding the trail in shorts and a t-shirt and i made a comment on here about

how i was glad winters over and we have the sun to look forward too. As usual i called it completely wrong.

I hope it stalls now as its absolutely hammering it down, the flake size has increased a little too.

That area of intense show to the west is going to rotate into Yorkshire later today and tonight! Don't worry!!!

[Harsh Climate]

Latest NAE is way better for west yorkshire, I'm now under 20mm accumulated precipitation

maybe even 25mm

Absolutely gutted that so area's so close like kimberworth and wath have it, and alls I have is rain. Is this my lot then?

Any improvement in Dalton area??

Are vehicles stuck on winnie hill yet?

[Craigers]

It isn't mark. It's slowly pepping up. It's not all that black and white. Everyone just look at the north east as the band has filled in all of the north east UK now. Massive shift north

I'm just in the slightly darker blue patch underneath, looks like it says 36mm. What does that equate too in snow terms?

For your altitude where you would have a settling ratio of at least 90%, probably about 16" snow

Had light precipitation over us on the radar for a while but nothing falling. As i thought yesterday not making it over here. Small chance of a covering tonight maybe?

[bryan629]

morning gang.

your spot on their Craigers, fronts stalled now ..some intense modification going on to the west of us...should all begin to slide east in a while.. fully expect amber updates soon for our region ...regret to in form Adam its going to miss his house lol .

[cowdog]

Starting to get heavy here, looks like its cleared the Manchester Snow shield and is now intensifying again.

[Lion]

This is excellent.. 0.4° and a nice heavy fall of snow ..

[richjb78]

Once again Barnsley appears to be in the "heavy, but with light flakes" camp again. All too common this winter.

[woldsowl]

So much for the move North & East. Have driven from home to York and the whole area under precipitation according to the radar and not just the light echoes, but not a flake!!!!

Plenty of vehicles heading east with the fronts plastered in frozen pinky snow. At least somewhere has some salt down.

[Mark Griffin]

Front stalled over northern England. It's about 50 or so miles further north than was expected isn't it. Proves how tricky the forecast has been. Fine snow falling here with a slight thaw in place too.

So 1mm of rainfall = 10mm of snow roughly? 16" of snow in winter is Epic, in late March its a bit freaky.

Flake size is slowly increasing, the best thing is theres no thawing at all, not even the odd drip.

Yep pretty much although this can change due to marginality.

Snow getting a little heavier here now

[Love Snow]

Just need bigger flakes !!!!

[smhouston]

Haha a lot of hope casting been goin on by those southerners

Good. They had the cheek to say the other day that we wouldn't mind it pushing further south because we've apparently done well this year? I can only speak for myself, but I'd only had a few CMs all winter. They are always wanting it to push further south for them so stuff them!

Worried that the main heavy band is a lot further North than Sheffield.

yeh flakes seem to be increasing here to, family are meant to be going to bedford this afternoon they got no chance, they still think they can make it! but snake pass is closed !

[Craigers]

Smhouston the band is pushing south after it stalling with the second front merging into it making it gradually become organised and heavier tonight :-)
