The temp is -0.4c here and only rising very slowly. It's still snowing very light.

[Adam lufc]

It makes no sense how at this time yesterday when it wasn't snowing the temp was a mild 0.3c and already now it's 0.2 when it even started off colder than yesterday.

[cowdog]

Ok that's a first. Our milk mans delivered the snow on Sledges

[bryan629]

Yep. The trick is to open the door slightly then bang it shut. Most of the snow blown up the door will fall off and the drift will compact it more so it doesn't all fall in. Cats now have a tunnel out of cat flap.

sorry debs couldnt resist

[The PIT]

Moderate Snow here again. Anyway water content of the snow was 18.7mm. Some pics

[reef]

The snow finally arrived here this morning just before sunrise and just about stopped now. It was small flakes and only moderate, but we've managed a cover on the grass and cars. Obviously its a bit disappointing that we didnt get what those got further west, but we were right on the edge of the band so its just nice to see something.

A slight thaw now, but still rather cold for this time of the day in late-March with a current temp of 0.4C.

sorry debs couldnt resist

a good likeness to my cat

[allenar]

stopped snowing in Rotherham, Just as I thought, the front has decayed.

[Mellis]

about 4cm here, temp 1c

[Machu Picchu]

Dont forget to feed the birds, when its cold and snowy they need to eat around 1/3rd of their body weight a day, deep snow makes it difficult for them to

find food on the ground and they use more energy searching for it. Just chuck some bread in the snow or anything you got, they'll find it, the greedy

Starlings will defo find it so the rest will be close behind them.

The front is pivoting again, the feed looks like its pushing through Belgium into Holland to flow W-N/W, have to see how it pans out, METO have not downgraded

as of yet and other sources are still stating favourable conditions to early evening.

Still snowing here but i wouldn't mind seeing the end of it and that wind dropping cus its bloody freezing, still --0.6C and icicles forming where its dripping.

[Barking_Mad]

still snowing in sw leeds.

[Arnie22]

Moderate snow here for past 2 hours - light covering but not heavy enought to stick to roads

[Machu Picchu]

Ok that's a first. Our milk mans delivered the snow on Sledges

What did he carry the milk in then?

[Bradowl]

I'm in town and it's Snowing lightly.

Just had a walk through Clifton Park, some great scenes.

Very nice PIT, looking at your pics i bet some people were awoken by the sound of scraping shovels.

Looks like your about to get some more snow.

[Love Snow]

Still snowing in Morley quite incredible

[Bradowl]

Coming down a bit heavier here now in rotherham.

I think it will be more showery in nature now.

Lots of slush around town centre which should be fun when it freezes after dark.

Some snow pics from Hubberton near Halifax.

Anyway Mr Murr we've had 28 days of MO snow cover, 5 days when it was close, another half dozen at least with temporary falls, so to miss out today is no problem.

(B*ll*cks, I'm gutted).

And when the next Northerly buries us and the east coast we'll have smug smiles again.

Awesome pics DB, looks like you did very well, enjoy it.

METO are giving the chance of snow for Mon,Tue and Weds for parts of the region so it could be a good week.

[The PIT]

Nah didn't start til 07:30 then went shopping and resumed at 09:30. A neigbour further up had started before me prob at 06:30. Apart from that noboby else has made any effort. Quite a few young people on the road as well. So no excuse.

Coming down again here now too. Now the fronts pivoting it looks like it could do with pushing a bit further North to get the last few hours out of it cus it

looks like theres still some moderate ppn in there if it has the energy to reach us.

[Hessle Owl]

Snow stopped here now good covering though not bad here and was impressive with strong winds blowing the snow about something which has been quite frequent in snow events this year. Considering i thought we was going to miss out nice to get involved in the action even some mini icicles hanging of window sills and bins which is an bonus.

[Sunny_AS]

Have had continuous snowfall since about 3am Fri morning and it's still snowing in Keighley area, decent accumulations, but being in a valley will never get mega amounts like the surrounding hills......

A lot of the younger generations today are bone idle, they seem to believe that everything should be done for them by the state so they've become slaves to the system

and incapable of being independent and looking after themselves. Cheeky too so you'll more than likely get home and find them parked in your nicely cleared out spot.
