Snowing in Yorkshire on Sunday Met Office weather updates as snow settles amid ice warning
People across Yorkshire are waking up to a blanket of snow this morning (Sunday). The white stuff has arrived across most of Yorkshire, including Hull, Selby, Huddersfield, Leeds, York and Sheffield. The wall of snow was true to its word and large swathes of North Yorkshire have already determined it is ‘big coat weather[1].
The snow came thick and fast last night and into the early hours and another weather warning for ice[2] has been issued into Monday. Unfortunately more snow is forecast with around 2cms of snow an hour in parts of Sheffield and South Yorkshire as the day progresses. Find the latest hour-by-hour forecast[3] here.
The Met Office overall prediction for Yorkshire says: “Early sleet and snow gradually clearing east during the morning, with icy stretches an additional hazard. Becoming drier for most, although it will remain rather cloudy and murky in the afternoon. Feeling rather cold, with light winds.
Maximum temperature 2C.” Tonight will see largely dry and clear spells overnight, leading to another widespread frost. Risk of icy stretches.
Cloud increasing to bring outbreaks of rain and hill snow in south by dawn.
Minimum temperature -3C.
