taken five mins ago, pictures dont do the size of the flakes justice at all but you get a feel of what we are getting, awesome snowfall and its still going.

i agree the flakes are now a lot bigger than a 50p not seen snow like this in years

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Ye the met office got it pretty wrong as usual lol. But cant see anything tonight, the gfs precipitation forcast shows nothing apart from around the humber... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn124.png. And being right under the high pressure now I can see why... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn121.png

snow/hail dusting very very icy underfoot been on A**e twice so far

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Even now, any heavy precipitation would fall as snow. To get light snow and sleet with such light precipitation is a very good sign, especially with the current heigh of the 0c isotherm which would also drop in the heavier precipitation.

I would say it will fall as snow to all levels, just keep an eye on dew points. If its at 0c or below at the time of the precipitation expect snow.

thanks for you prompt reply Lewis

looking at the precip charts country file weather seams to be spot on so far, i am still not expecting a vast amount untill later in the week any more would be a bonus

cheers

Waiting for the 06z NMM,

The 00z showed an organised line of precipitation in the form of a trough early hours of tomorrow morning pushing quite far inland, with the heavier precipitation around 11am - 12pm.

Hi Lewis

is this liable to fall as snow at lower levels, this morning has been more sleet than rain

cheers

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

[Model Output Discussion:]

i am not sure if this is the right place to put this if it is wrong please move it

he is talking about the Ensembles and he is saying "the most likely outcome is conditions to turn colder again next week as air spreads in from the near continent"

morning all

A very light dusting here, think we just the one shower,

glad i didnt stop up any longer lol

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

There's a big shower heading straight for me, so hopefully it won't weaken too much as it crosses the humber

Thats been the story of my life tonight

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

YaY!!!!

just starting to snow only light as yet

i am going to bed too kids up in a few hours, not sure if any lying snow by morning

Night all

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

It's good to see the showers still pushing further inland.Eventually i'll call it a night

i know the feeling:D very thin cloud here still not enough for snow yet,still see it on the north bank so close and yet so far.

welcome to the forum Wayne

Russ

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Nice covering here if you can call it that. Very gusty, the snow flakes don't seem that large, small in natural, but certainly a lot of it coming down. I think the Humber is doing something to weaken them, nice all the same.

i think thats very true it's still clear here yet i can see the snow clouds on the north bank

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Nothing more than the odd flake here, but the showers further north are moving much further inland.

clear here i can see the moon but i can see Lewis's blizzard getting nearer lol (bet it misses me lol)

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

i was just looking on the North Eastern thread and they are saying the snow is still moving inland all be it very slowly

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

I'd perhaps wait a touch longer mate. The next batch of showers appears to be further to the West.

Edit: heavy graupel shower at the moment

i was just thinking of going to bed and thought the same lol

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

East Yorkshire and N Yorkshire in for a pasting!

I had a wild guess about the feature this morning happening around 11pm, can it happen for an all time accuracy best lmfao!

Brian you got your camera ready mate?

hope some of it comes over the great snow barrier (humber)

[Model Output Discussion]

Derek IMO is very very good too. I watch his forecasts when I visit my dad and he reminds me of old school forecasters....as in he is willing to 'forecast'....great stuff.
