HI! Can any of you more experienced people advise on the likelyhood of a storm in HD3, Huddersfield, Salendine Nook area?

Snow pepping up again here in Longwood. Huddersfield New College closed earlier. As I said before-I'll bet Scapegoat Hill/Outlane etc are much worse. Certainly more than I expected & shows the Met can get it a bit wrong sometimes-they certainly didn't (in my opinion) forecast the heaviness & persistance of the snow.

Well the weather gods are smiling on upper Longwood, Huddersfield (162m asl)-CHUCKING it down with big fat flakes of snow. G/F works at New College-about 40 metres higher up-even worse there! Setting-at least 2-3 inches here. Would gusess higher areas of Hudds like Outlane/Scapegoat hill & the a640 trans pennine rout to rochdale will be very bad! Day off tomorrow & as forecast to be sunny & very cold I feel a nice walk on the moors will be just the ticket!

Hi guys/gals-I don't often post in the model thread as I really do not have the knowledge to 'suss' out the charts! All I can say (& sorry this is a bit IMBY )is that where I live-165m asl near Huddersfield it hardly got above freezing yesterday & is 1 degree today-lovely picture postcard scenery here in the pennines. There was as far as I can gather MORE snow in a more extensive area & the snow was not just high ground. So...with all the science & models in the world....mother nature can catch us out & give more snow than forecast. I seem to remember a few days ago the extent of snow was not forecast to this degree. Anyway-I'm rambling-I still 'feel' this winter will deliver more extensive snow. Mods-please delete if you feel this post is not appropriate.......... P.S. Frosty-did you get snow in Wakefield?

Morning all! I have to leave Huddersfield (upper Longwood area-160m asl) to go to Cambridgeshire (M62/A1 for most of the journey) & will be leaving cambridgeshire 1pm is-hopefully back to Hudds 4 to 4-30pm. Looks to me that any snow will be overnight....not concened re: motor ways but Longwood edge road is STEEP-anyone got any ideas on amounts/timings etc?

Winter of 79-soz to be thick but not sure how to do that? I'm in the highest bit of Longwood.

Can deffo see a good covering on the higher pennines towards Meltham/Peak district. Just had wet snow here at 162masl-not a hope of it sticking but nice to see!

I live about 162 m asl not far from the m62 in Huddersfield. Can see that hills towards the peak district/above Meltham are white & saw a few flakes earlier. Think we might get a slight covering at 160m asl? In town centre earlier & showing 3 degrees-up nearer to ainly top-around 1.5 degrees! Still....nice for it to be wintry! Normally at 160asl I do quite well for snow-but last winter we had a freak 1 hr of snow (as it was unexpected it caused chaos!) & i saw a car on it's roof on Longwood Edge Road -so already a better winter than last!

I'm around 165m ASL in Upper Longwood, outside of Huddersfield.. Times/chances of settling snow??? I know it probably won't amount to much but would be nice to see.!

Winter of 79-funnily enough my ASL is almost exactly the same as yours! I live near the Dusty Miller in Upper Longwood. Isn't altitude amazing-snow up at sainsburys in salendine nook (allbeit wet!)-sleet down here-although I can see the 'whiteness' on the hills opposite coming down. I would think anywhere 230m ASL or more could have nasty conditions later!

I suppose the altitude I'm at (160-170mASL) helps-no melt here!

Thanks Pennine! I've been in Huddersfield now for 15 years-from East Anglia originally-amazes me how much difference in this neck of the woods that elavation makes! If I look at the car temperature it is, without fail the roundabout in Marsh on New Hey Road (A640) where temp drops by a degree EVERY time! Strange!!!??? Just seen bbc 24 news-Thomas said up to 20cms in pennine areas-we'll see lol!

Pennine 10 Foot Drifts. I'm close to you in Upper Longwood (about 620 ft ASL). Agree re: snizzle! A good 1-2 degrees colder here than town centre! Whats your view on this latest 'event' for us?

Light snow here in Upper Longwood, Huddersfield. 0.5 degrees here (I'm 170m ASL) & settling on cars. Drove down to the petrol station on Manchester Road-just before Linthwaite (I'd guess 100 m asl-possible less?)-car thermometer 1.5 degrees-still snowing but NOT settling. Just shows how 70/80 metres makes all the difference! Interesting to see what we get on the AMBER warning tomorrow-Hudds is just on the edge....but I'm east of the city centre-they say 10 cm possible over 150 m ASL-we'll see!

Hope so! Where abouts are you? I used to Live in Linthwaite on Manchester Road-& if there was wet snow/sleet at that level it magically turned to thick proper settled snow-always around the Dusty Miller pub in Longwood lol (!)
