turned to snow in last 10 minutes - heaviest of the winter easily. Certainly heaviest falling I've seen in a couple of years at least. Sodden surfaces though, still pretty to see 

^^ yes Tim, looking on Instagram the snow is settling in higher Leeds suburbs. It's settled well in Roundhay.

And - it's just started settling here too.

LOL, it was supposed to be a predominantly NW-England 'event' and still it's Yaaarksher that gets most of the snow.

And 'Thundersnow' at that!

Heavy graupel/snow shower in central Manchester

Edit: now all snow - big, fat, wet flakes. But not that heavy, and certainly won't stick (radar showing that, after an initial heavy burst, PPN will be light & sometimes patchy, and have likely moved through with 30-45 mins)

If only that bit W-E orientated snowband had been 40 miles further south...

Total whiteout! Unbelievable! Where did this come from? Some of the heaviest snow i can remember! Everywhere white, half an inch in the matter of 15 minutes

These are seriously the biggest flakes of snow I've ever seen. 

The York webcam shows the heavy snow now starting to settled at low levels.

Heavy wet snow 

Now rain/drizzle in Manc.

Missus texted me to say it's snowing in 'Tellins

Big wet flakes but raining in Crewe apparently so elevation a factor as expected.

Yes, quite fitting for the winter that this was a brief damp squib that didn't deliver (for this region at any rate)

Yup - the biggest flakes I've ever seen.

Tapering off now but I wasn't even expecting snow at all let alone a good 2-3cm. 

For some up north.

As I posted earlier, there was a PPN band, oriented W-E, about 30/40 miles wide, it's southern extremity generally/roughly sat on the northern fringe of the M62. The best of the snow appears to have fallen in Pennine areas from Lancs to W Yorks, and into N Yorks toward & into the York area itself.

A few flakes after hail. At least I Saw Snow.......
