Maybe due to Xmas hols the met office are short staffed and can't update until a chief forecaster is back in work?

im very excited.

amber means a lot. you cant fool n worry people only for it not to happen. and phil avery on bbc leeds said in the amber it will chuck it dwn and even said yellow area still upto 5cm. 

on the met office warning too it says about stranded rtc. amner shud alone be expecting 5-10cm regardless of height. my worry is the bbc app which i think has been pretty açurate too recently.

does anyone please think there will be enough left by midday when i finish to go sledging. surely if 5-10 is true it wont rapidly melt at 3c?!!.....

Lots of moisture and warmer air mixed in by midday by the looks of things so i wouldn't bank it staying around for too long after midday.

I honestly think this is going to be a flop to be honest. I think here in Leeds we will see snow for a little bit, a slight covering maybe and then rain. I expect it to be gone by the rush hour!

[BA Baracus]

This from met office just now on twitter suggests an all snow event?

Much faster than previously tho with back of front clearing West York's by 7-8am.

What are you classing as ‘high ground’? 

200m + will stay as snow longer.But the front is coming through too quick imo.

Saying that,as soon as it's starts to fall it will settle.

That's a great update. Thanks mate 

[sausage]

phil did say it would be a slow thaw

[BA Baracus]

A few questions to met office on twitter questioning their app and why so different to latest video forecast e.g. one from someone in Honley where it shows heavy rain only on the app. Will be interesting to see if they bother replying.

If you wanna see some snow falling tomorrow guys I would be setting your alarms for about 4am as the front looks to have past through by 7am on latest output

I have 11 locations across Yorkshire loaded on the BBC app, and all those in West and South Yorkshire now showing mostly sleet.  Only North Yorkshire locations still showing snow.  Will be interesting to see the model updates from the 18z runs later.

Well your not looking hard enough, LS16 is a Leeds suburb showing snow throughout, a bit of back edge sleet but could easily fall as snow.

Also seen that the showers after the front are increasingly likely to be of snow.

Met Office and BBC apps for my area are actually showing heavy rain with just a little sleet and I am on the edge of the Amber Warning area so one of the forecasts is going to be wrong!

Yep, agreed.  You are about 6 miles South East from me, and slightly lower altitude.  Both BBC app and Meto showing mainly sleet for me, so as you say either apps wrong or warning wrong!

Well clearly I can't load every single location in Yorkshire onto the app, so I'm sure there are some locations particularly those with altitude will still be showing more snow.  What I said was the 11 locations I have loaded, which are only a sample of Yorkshire locations were showing mostly sleet.  Hopefully the app is wrong and we get snow more widely as the 12z models were showing.  Let's see what the 18z say in a few minutes...

Hopefully/will try(road permitting)will get up toward snakes pass but stop short of there in the car park(hope woodland carpark) and head up the snake path just up the road from Snakes pass inn to head up Kinderscout,if not i will park somewhere nr Ladybower inn and head for coach and horses rock formation just east of Derwent res,and maybe head on from there,we(me and my mate)will not be rushing back down,we have some good torches,survival kits etc

i will set off sometime late morning when the snow stops but there will be wintry showers by the looks of it following the main band and will be of snow up there,it will hopefully be a clear day once the front has gone through so hoping for some nice clear shots on the cam,i hope to get some good pics for you guys so i will catch up with things tomorrow evening/night,if not the next day

have fun tomorrow guys,if you can,head for the hills.
