along with paul hudsons "Rain sleet and snow" that man annoys me so much!

[ChezWeather]

Thinking that we will be at the very southern margin of the snowfall area so not expecting a massive amount here.

Still a chance though!

[LeeSnowFan]

haha, MEt have my area in for snow for 24 hours, i will take that lol, shame Barnsley isn't in the amber warning though

I still think we could do well and higher you are 150+ better chance like last week I keep saying we done very well despite being told would get a covering! well got alot more than that and cause alot of disruption

[PMPhotography]

Getting quite excited now as apart from the odd flake we've had no settling snow here on the coast this year (Or last year!). Looking good to catch something tonight / tomorrow AM. My focus switches to the Northerley from Sunday though. We usually do well from a Northerly even right on the coast. For the posters mentioning marginality on the coast, i don't (from experience) think it will effect snow chances too much. 

We need -6/-7C 850's from a Northerly (Much lower for an easterly!). The temps forecast from Sunday and into next week are at -7C and lower at times on GFS at the moment.

 

Lots to look forward to in the next week!   

[Jonathan Lang]

The ground is almost dry now. Looking good!

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

Temp has dropped 3C in last two hours, from 7.5 to 4.5, so heading in the right direction !

Not Humber, just north yorkshire (western side of)

[Mark Bayley]

I imagine the warning could be extended southwards (say to Sheffield) for western areas of our region overnight, must depends on the intensity of the showers are how far south and west they make it

BBC website has snow from 7pm tonight through 2pm tomorrow. 

 

Dew point now 0C at Leeds-Bradford. 

[cowdog]

Looking at the Radar guessing at some point after 3pm it should start for us, until then just snow showers.

^edit: haha just decided to check BBC to see what it says for us - Heavy snow from now all the way through till 3pm tomorrow, when it turns light. That website is useless in snow.

[Derbyshire_snow]

Just had a brief Snow Shower in Chesterfield looking good for our chances of Snow tonight then as when i set off for college this morning car temp was still shwoing 7.5c.

[cowdog]

Taken from the Scottish thread but the latest NMM total rain accumulation figures are scary for the western half of Yorkshire -
 

 

That is a 100+mm bit near Sheffield. With 60+mm widely over the high parts.

those do look like it could skim intoparts of south yorkshire as well

[Lincstim]

BBC has it reasonable for Scunny

But I will believe it when I see it !

Snow lasting through the night and into tomorrow morning (mid morning) then starting up again Thursday evening ! !

West Yorkshire looks very good

[LeeSnowFan]

Light snow shower in barnsley

[BA Baracus]

Snowing in Leeds now

[cowdog]

The met needs to move that Amber Warning further South to cover Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield and Sheffield as looking at the radar the proper snow will be hitting there around 3/4pm which will make peoples drive home very difficult.

[BA Baracus]

The speed of the cold and snow appears faster than forecast.  Already had 3 minor flurries in the centre of Leeds and the radar looks like more intense bursts are on the way.

 

Bridgewater Place roads closed again because of the wind.  Feels raw outside.

[Winter Cold]

Yes its coming in fast, already had 2 snow showers right down into Hillsborough which is one of the lowest points of Sheffield. Its all to play for tonight

 

Obviously the flip side of that is the wind is so strong the showers only last a minute and then they are gone. It sounds like more widespread and heavy stuff comes overnight though so im not worried
