As I mentioned last night, these events always surprise either for the good or bad, today was good, some videos and pictures from Birkenshaw at work. 7cm there on car, about 4cm at home in Garforth. 20240208_131012.mp4 20240208_131302.mp4 20240208_141524.mp4 20240208_144544.mp4

Yes the app has upgraded for here too, now showing mostly heavy snow during daylight hours. All snow showing for work in Birkenshaw. Got dentist in Garforth at 6pm so will be a doubly stressful commute tonight

Harsh Climate I'm working at Birkenshaw (150m asl) tomorrow so hoping for some decent amounts there, would agree our home locations look more dodgy, but at least we've got some interest to get us through to the cusp of the weekend. And never rule out surprises when it comes to snow, be they good or bad ones! 🌨

LeeSnowFan Good grief we'd all take that surely? What a day that would be if it happened! Fingers crossed 🌨

Had some unexpected flurries through the morning here at work in Cleckheaton. The peak of the cold spell 20240119_090151.mp4 20240119_093913.mp4 20240119_100538.mp4 20240119_100601.mp4

Non event for here, not that it will stop those in the MOD thread from claiming the next blocking high will be more resilient against attacks from the Atlantic than modelling shows My experience is the opposite is true at least over recent years!

Snowing lightly and settling at Cleckheaton, less than 100m asl. -1°c 20240116_072709.mp4 20240116_073131.mp4

Seems to be light sleet and ice pellets here. Hard to see in the gloom

You've got a better chance than us lowlanders that's for sure. I'm not sure how high up the warmer layer of air is though to be honest

Queensbury is the place to be on days like this.

Indeed it's rare to go from fog to snow at this elevation unfortunately

The dreaded Garforth Gap in the front. Was such pathetic effort here I didn't even do it the honour of taking a picture

Looking southwest

Some of last night's storm here, not the most violent but an unprecedented 2nd storm in 1 day and briefly turned night to day due to the elevated "rain-wrapped" lightning. 20230708_215413.mp4 20230708_220447.mp4 20230708_223641.mp4 20230708_221002.mp4

Nice nightiime storm, a rarity up here. Got some videos and screen grabs of the lightning, but too tired to edit and post tonight. Rain was heavy but not biblically so. Here's a lightning grab from one of the videos
