Nearly 2c here, with dew point just below freezing. Marginal for snow excluding other unknown variables.

Coming down well here near Robin Hood airport, wasn't very optimistic, but starting to stick, looks like my work areas getting nice bit too, so maybe snow day tomorrow, fingers crossed like HC says better to come when temps drop off further for us all

Stuff for Leeds is coming onshore around Barrow and Lancaster, stuff for Sheffield is coming onshore around Southport. 

 

Unfortunately for Leeds to match Sheffield we need the winds to back more westerly, right now there's too much of a northerly component.

 

Spot on, If the winds become more westerly the showers will stream in to us

[SnOwFeSt]

There is an extremely heavy blodge working its way over leeds in the next 10-15 mins. I just hope it is snow!!

[yaffle]

Lashing down with rain at Linton. The windows are rattling!

 

Good to see the N York anti snow device is powered up      

[SnOwFeSt]

What are the wet bulbs? As the temp seems to be getting pretty marginal, we'll perhaps need to rely on evaporative cooling? Can't imagine they'll be much lower than the temp, given how saturated the air is!

[Sunny_AS]

Chucking it down. All surfaces covered again very quickly.....

[Sara_south_yorks]

hmmmm nothing here again, dont feel as cold anymore either, METO keep changing snow symbols to sleet symbols for my area at every update, not getting too hung up on those though lol. getting neck cramp from staring out at the lampost haha!

 

needs to at least put a bit down, got disappointed kids at the mo, they want a day off school

Apparently Monk Bretton got a covering

[terrier]

[alanwh]

Three big claps of thunder and blizzard conditions here complete white out !!

LOL snow confuses me sometimes   

[Harsh Climate]

Suprised quite large parts of ireland reporting heavy snow with temps of 0C, hopefully a positive sign for us that perhaps the coldest air hasn't quite filtered in yet.

Is that supposed to happen? If anything I thought the winds would slowly switch to WNW through the night?

[SnOwFeSt]

Lashing down with soft hail. No sign of sleet, which is good. Colder air coming back in now, so should become much less marginal for those areas affected by wet stuff!

[inghams85]

The winds are due to turn steadily more northerly until 6 am your right. As I said this morning more of a south yorkshire event this one although at the minute it's not cold enough anyway!

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Just started snowing fairly heavily in Louth, may it continue!

Send it this was precipitation princess. Good to see you on here again

[Winter Cold]

Well ive seen worse forecasts for a Thursday lol: 

 

[BA Baracus]

In the last half hour I've had rain, hail, sleet, snow, gusty strong winds and thunder. Certainly not a boring evening but I'm still looking for the first meaningful snow showers that settle.

[sparky1972]

clear skys and breezy here so far, nothing remotely interesting weather wise, and apart from spells of rain that the metoffice forecast thats as good as its going to get.

[Will Padz]

1-3cm on ground 2-4cm where its ' drifting '...... Really chucking it down.....

[saint]

Snow and hail mix here which is settling at the moment.

[Harsh Climate]

Heavy snow shower here now, settling on car and grass, snow line now dropped from about 175m an hour ago to 125m now I would expect.

[inghams85]

How the he'll can you guess what the snowline is?!

[stupotlee]

Just sat at Hemingfield now, it's throwing it down with hard pellets. not quite hail, but not soft enough for graupel

Edit: is leaving a white film on the road though. Could get slippy!
