  1. 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 :)

  2. 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. :)

  3. 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 !

    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!

  4. 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?

  5. 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!

    Rant over :)
