yeh thats looks like one messed up radar

[allenar]

To me it looks like the entire system is decaying. Its stopped here in Rotherham, cant see much more coming out of this.

Patience there, as it starts to pivot yet narrow you could be in for a decent amount more esp on the west side.

[Thundery wintry showers]

I think I'm going to need the heavier precipitation to come over during the early hours of the morning as the colder air digs in, though the GFS 00Z does hint at this happening from 3-6am. I've just had a spell of moderate snow but it only dropped the temperature to 1.3C and none of it settled.

[Aaron]

Definitely gotten worse here, flakes are still smallish but there's a lot more of them and the visibility has fallen a lot.

[bryan629]

you lot stop loooking south west ........ look instead south east on the radars... see the front has pushed up over norfolk in a line from northern ireland..and well into the north sea.its pivoting now , this i reckon it where the snow is comming from tonight.... scroll back on your radars if you can .check out the energy being fed back into the uk courtesy of an easterly wind ..... SMILE

[Winter Warmer]

i dont really know so can you get great snowfalls at lower levels this late in march?

[Machu Picchu]

Its very light snow here now, the lightest its been in 23hrs of constant snowfall.

The fronts really changing shape now, will be interesting to see how the pivot pans out.

Spoke too soon, the snows picked up again and the wind with it. Still --1.0C

[summer blizzard]

Snow being pretty much horizontal all night and roads covered.God i love Leeds.

My parents took a photo of the garden and there's a good 10cm, i'll post it here later.

[Thundery wintry showers]

At long last it's starting to lie here- goodnight all, see what I wake up to tomorrow morning!

Yes, it happened widely in the south in late-March 1952, and I recall that the 28th March 1995 had some pretty serious snowfalls in parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire early in the day including a rare three-inch fall in Lancaster.

On rare occasions it's been known even later in the season, e.g. the exceptional cold snap in late-April 1981 when some low-lying parts of the country got some substantial accumulations of wet snow. Significant accumulations of snow penetrated to relatively low levels in early April last year and to near sea level in some regions on the 6th April 2008, though these were short-lived.

Visibility is poor here, although it must be the beers as there's no snow falling.

cheers tws i do remember a snowfall around 2008 that was really heavy that i think was in march and it piled up but by the time i got up around 1pm(been out drinking all night) it was gone

[Hessle Owl]

We got lying snow in October last year and i am at sea level was quite expectional considering the year before we had an heatwave. Back on to March i remember the easter snowfall of 2008 had about three or four inches here was all gone by two o clock though. Had some lying snow in April 2008 to. That came off an dreadful winter one of the mildest on record i believe? How times have changed.

[Aaron]

Getting quite windy at times - just went outside, a lot of drifting.

[Richard Lake]

Blizzard conditions here, gale force and maybe 1 or 2 cms on the ground. Flakes on the smallish side though would love it to thicken up somewhat!

[Cheese Rice]

Off to bed now, temps are dropping across Leeds and some much heavier stuff is pushing in. I'll be up super early no doubt so hoping to wake up to some mega snowfall.

[Zak 92]

Not expecting anything here Watching the radar theres been a lovely circle around my town for the past 6 hours or so, everytime precipitation aproaches it dies off as it reaches me and rebuilds after its passed

[Cal]

After 6hrs of light n continous snowfall we now have 100% cover, currently moderate snow that is blowing horizontally in the stiff easterly wind.

[Aaron]

Wow, suddenly very windy with snow being blown off my garden and off the roads and into the air. If only the snow was heavier.

[Mark Griffin]

Latest BBC forecast says no pivot, just dying out tomorrow morning. Got about 5 inch of snow so not all bad.

[Craigers]

13cm and building :-D

[Tony Beets]

Got at least a good foot probably more, dare I say it but better that 2010!!!!!

[disco-barry]

Morning all, not sure how much snow is out there but i would say going on for a foot...a lot of snow and the whole side of my house is blathered with snow....the drifts look unbelievable, pics to follow!

[Lion]

Good lord.. Drifts everywhere
