Just been to measure .. Can not believe this... 10 inches! .. Is terrible out there did not expect this! Wahhoooo!
That seems a lot! We have around 4 or 5 inches in Eastfield which is impressive enough. Have you measured a drift?
-
If the MetO's rainfall radar is right the streamer over us at the moment will stall over us until about 10pm then head inland whilst keeping it's strength. I can't see it hanging around that long. It seems to have got a shift on in the last hour.
Everyones a winner!
-
Could be a cracking evening. Fingers crossed. Just updated to Netweather radar too
You'll have to give us the heads up then!!
cars sliding all over the place trying to get up the hill on my street. Why bother driving when it's this bad?! Don't get it!
WHITEOUT!
-
Very heavy shower started again.
Aye mate, Heavy stuff heading in now again. Second streamer. Think it will head West quicker than the first though.
What a day ey! Must have another 3 inches on top of what was still around from Monday.
-
Flippin eck. I really didn't expect this! Consistently moderate snowfall with frequent heavy bursts. It's really starting to pile up. And look at all that East of us. I'm sure it's going get interesting soon! Will head out and brave it for measurements later!
-
Hmmm. Looking at the MO radar and predicted precip it looks like the main band will pull in the streamers here at the coast and out to sea further inland. Would really drop some impressive totals as long as they don't weaken. We've been sat under one of the streamers all afternoon and it's piling up fast now!
-
Look at those real dark blues emerging on the radar just coming into Chesterfield, they have Penistown written allover them.
What a delightful sounding place! lol!!
Still snowing here. Calmed down a bit now though and fairly moderate. got 12cm's here now. Had around 7cm's this morning from previous snow on Monday so about 5 cm's from todays showers and that's before the band gets here! MINT
-
The radar is now showing the front almost tearing apart to the west of Stoke. The good news is that the Northward march is much faster than this mornings asthmatic hobble! Scarborough and the North York Moors look like the place to be with continual heavy showers peppering the coastline. Hopefully the wind will change direction and send the showers further inland.
Damn Right,
It's awesome at the moment. continuous heavy snow for about an hour now.
-
Wow, That was an impressive shower! They've really intensified over the last hour or so. Roads really well gritted after Monday's nightmare so it's melting after each shower but still white over each time! The front can stay away! These showers are ace!
-
-
We've done well again overnight with another covering. Slight thaw on roads before more showers headed in and covered us again. Sky gone black and it's starting again!
Temp -0.4C with Dew point of -0.5C.
Looking great for the rest of the day and tomorrow as long as the temp doesn't rise and turn it to rain!
-
It's all turned a bit close for comfort after that shower! Temp gone up to -0.3C with a dew point of -0.4C. :-S
-
Fairly decent snowfall in the last hour. Everything lovely and white over again. Perhaps 2cm's from that.
-
Did somebody say no showers from the East. Think you might want to check the radar! Looks like we're about to get a hammering!
-
Some fast developing heavy showers forming just northeast of the Humber at the moment heading in this direction!
-
Still currently -8.9c after a low of -11.3c. Never expected these temperatures!
Flippin eck! I thought -9.1C was impressive!
-4.2C here at the moment with a bit of high cloud keeping the sun hazy so keeping the temps low.

Morning all,
A very cold start, -9.7º C here.
Just ventured out to give the poor garden birds their breakfast.
*Glued to all the forecasts !
B.
OOOF! You beat me! -9.1C recorded here in Eastfield, Scarborough.
-7.2 at the moment. Obviously colder the further east you go.
Amazing at -9 that i'm worried about marginality on the coast over the weekend! How fast things can change!
-
Don't suppose anyone has the time to shed any light on what could happen on Eastern Coastal areas?
The front is obviously pushing in from the west but the wind direction is ESE. Presumably there will be some modification.
The Metoffice website forecast shows a sleety mixture all weekend down the coast with max temp 1C and high humidity (92-98%) giving positive dewpoints. 5 miles inland it's all forecast snow.
Is it worth bothering with things like humidity and dew points at this range? And would having existing snow cover be a factor?
-
Basically to summarise:
-
GFS has Friday's snow reaching the coast or near to the coast overnight Friday night. Before that there's the risk of some moderate, possibly heavy snow in the west and south of our region - W Yorks, S Yorks and western parts of N Yorks in particular. The snow that does get to roughly the east of the A1 looks like it'll become very much lighter and more patchy.
-
UKMO has the snow reaching all parts and is possibly slightly heavier than GFS output with more moderate snow reaching further east.
- The NAE has heavier snow in the west, but current output only goes up to 12z Friday and so the next few charts are required to analyse further.
All in all it looks as if most areas will see some snow. Details of how much and where exactly it'll be heaviest are still up for grabs however it looks as if western areas of our region will see the heavier snowfall. How far east the front gets is still under question and we probably won't know for sure until this time tomorrow, and maybe not until the event itself.
Great post.
From experience on this forum there's a lot of folk who either don't have a clue, try intentionally wind people up or make the mistake of hanging on every run.
There are also far too many who wont be happy till there's a 6ft snowdrift in their garden! They chase cold charts and like now, the cold is here yet unless theres a blizzard they're not happy!!
Iv'e certainly remembered the names of the knowledgeable folk on here and I scroll the MOD thread looking for these people the rest i skim over cos it's a waste of my time!
Iv'e also increased my faith in the METO. If they've released an amber warning confidence is HIGH! It may not play out exactly as they think but i'm sure they won't be sitting at Exeter panicking and reversing warnings because one GFS run shows the snow is a little lighter!!
Cold is here, Snow will come... enjoy it!! It's what most on here chase!

The forecast on BBC news 24 is a reet ord ramp! He just said ALL areas in the yellow (MO warning) to expect 10cm's! He was pretty bullish about it too!
He also said expect disruption to your life! I don't think he quite meant it to come out like that! haha!

Some impressive icicles forming here as the sun melts the snowcover but temp below freezing. -1.7 at the moment.

Looks like the fun and games are over for now here. Heavy band moving inland with the odd burst of lighter snow coming down. Temp 0.4 dew point 0.2C. Let's hope thats as far as it goes or it may be a slushy mess come morning!
All those west of here in the firing line....enjoy!
