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.

I've just put this together :

to see how the snowless area corresponds to the gap in the precipitation
pattern shown in the radar image...


And also -now in glorious technicolor, sourtesy of MODIS:

Wasn't more than a good dusting inSW Surrey, either. Curved grey area
apparent from W of London to S Downs?

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?

In this part of SW Surrey (Cranleigh), I'd estimate we had 2-3cm. It's
all gone in the sun now, but there seems to have been little melting in
the shade.

Perhaps 2 centimetres at most in Godalming.
