Yes, i can confirm this as i live in Leeds and we received very little
accumulation from the snow on Tue night (the radar showed very well that
the
heaviest snow was to the west and east) and yesterday, with accumulations
upto about 0.5-1cm and this has now pretty much melted this morning.

Still it was nice whilst it lasted.

Here's a good image of the snow cover:

-is that a gap in the snow around Shefield?

Cheers,

To give a bit more detail on this, we experienced quite a bit of snow on the
*west* side of Sheffield, about 3 inches on the car by 5.00pm. Easily enough
to cause absolute gridlock at Wednesday rush hour.

Strange pattern though - I flew in a light aircraft from Sheffield airport
today and there was a marked dividing line running down the centre of
Sheffield, the clear area extending well east of Retford, and the eastern
snow-cover was clearly visible a few miles away as per the satellite image.

I wonder what caused this snow-less area?
