Radar showing showers incoming!
Nothing too heavy.
I'm interested to see how Friday and the weekend pans out. I don't really mind how much snow we get (We've still got loads from Monday!). What I really don't want is to lose the cold.
If it's going to be marginal here you can keep it!!
-
From what i can make of the forecasts GFS is fairly dry but keeps us in the really cold air with daytime maxima barely above freezing. Meto show Snow Friday but turning marginal on the coast and low levels Saturday and Sunday with sleet or rain more likely.
From an IMBY POV I'd take the GFS version!
-
-4.7C at the moment after a low of -5.2C. (Not bad for the coast!!). Met website forecast show persistant sleet sat and sun so I'd rather it be dry and cold!!
-
Nice one, I think we have had our last shower for a good while now looking at the radar. The areas that had cleared today have a good 2cm covering now, I imagine it will be the same for you now. Looks like we may get some heavy snow showers on Friday if the GFS is to be believed.
Just stuck my head out the door perhaps 1 cm on the surfaces that had thawed today. Trees, roads and cars all white over again. Topped up the existing snowcover too! May just catch the odd shower tomorrow. Friday looks good. In fact, the whole 18z run is a beauty!
-
Snowing again, laying nicely on the road too which had turned really icy before the shower. Nasty driving in the morning!
-
Been keeping an eye on the showers getting closer (Anything to put off this piggin essay!) and the big one heading for us ruddy split and now the gap is heading right for us. Should be a covering on the way for some though!
-
Temp up to 1.7C here but dew points -3.5C so very icy after a slight thaw.
Caught a couple of decent showers earlier too that topped up what had thawed!
I notice some decent looking showers on't radar that would hit here soon if they keep on the same track.
-
This is a nice top up! The thawed areas now white over again. Perhaps 1cm and still coming down.
-
Snowing again here in Scarborough. Didn't see this one coming! fairly heavy too!
-
Temp gone up to 1.7C now and humidity at 99%! Looked out of the window expecting a thaw but it doesn't seem to be happening thankfully! Shame though because we were pretty close to an ice day aswell with -0.1C the highest and -0.3C the lowest!
-
Here's some photos taken today from Scarborough.
The old Filey Road at about 3pm.
Clock tower on the Esplanade.
Snowman!
Grand hotel from Spa bridge.
Snow on the Beach! Very Rare!
No school tomorrow!
Birdhouse update!!
As I'm typing it's Still snowing! Fairly light with the odd heavier bursts. Dew point just tipped over freezing though at 0.2C so some coastal modification maybe kicking in.
As i mentioned earlier traffic was horrendous through the town and radio York were reporting people stuck in their cars for 2 hours and only moved 500 metres!
A truly epic day and one i'll remember for a long time!
Outlook is promising too!
-
After that time you were saying it might be rain in scarborough and i said coldest air will be far east.
Well looks like i was right but in a bad way lol. How ironic was that.
Barley 1cm cover here in doncaster. Big let down
That'll teach me! We've had solid snowfall since 11.00 and it's still coming down lightly. You should see that birdhouse now. Took us 1 and a half hours to get home from the hospital to Eastfield normally a 15 min journey!! . .
Scarborough even got a mention on the BBC national news.
I reckon at least 4 or 5 inches. i'll upload pics when the boys in bed!!
-
Snowy Scarborough!
Well a snowy back garden in Scarborough!!
-
Had 2 cm's this morning from overnight snow which i didn't expect.
Been in York this morning for lectures and it really bucketed it down! Coming back to Scarborough we drove out of the heavier stuff at Malton to find light snow here.
Double whammy for me! Got the heavier part in York, drove out of it and it's following me due to hit Scarborough anytime.
Sorry i waffle on when i'm excited!
Temp 0.1C with dewpoint at 0.0C. I expect evaporative cooling to keep it down when the heavy stuff gets here.
-
Ooooh. Quite a good covering here in Scarborough. Didn't expect that. Temp - 0.2C Dew Point -0.4C. Bring on the heavy stuff!
-
A few flakes blowing around the lampost! Not laying. Not cold enough. Temp steady for hours and stuck at +0.7C at the moment with Dew point of +0.5C. I really hope it cools down a bit otherwise tomorrow could be a disaster!
-
What kind of temps or Dew points are people recording at the moment?
I'm recording 0.7C with dew point of 0.5C. Wish it would drop but seems to be sticking at that!
-
Temp is steady at 0.5C with a dew point of 0.3C. It's a bit concerning as it's so cloudy i can't see how the temp is going to drop.
I'm hoping it may be down to wind direction and possibly we could still be feeling coastal modification. Does anyone know when the wind direction will change? Is it after the clearance of the first front?
-
Showers incoming! Seem to be losing intensity as they head for the coast though. Might get a dusting! Dew point exactly 0.0C!
As far as tomorrow go's i feel much better after seeing this!
-
Well it was good to finally see a little snow falling last night in my area for the first time this winter, and even though it only gave a small and temporary accumulation, it has certainly whetted my appetite for more snow during this coming week.
So what do we have in store this week for our region this week? Well luckily enough I think alot of people will be pleased with the outlook! The latest radar;
http://www.metoffice...ather/uk/radar/
shows an area of snow moving down from Scotland that will affect our region this evening and overnight as per the latest NAE prediction below;
This area of snow will probably only produce relatively small accumulations for our region, but then we have a more active front moving down from the North/North West during tomorrow. There has been alot of talk as to whether this band of precipitation will be an all snow event, and whilst areas to the South and West of the Yorkshire region seem correct in raising their concerns, we seem to be in a prime position for an all snow event, again shown by the latest NAE prediction (see below) for the period in question, as well as the latest METO text forecast posted further down;
Looking further out, and from Tuesday onwards, it looks as though it will remain cold, if not very cold, and with the wind expected to switch to the East/North East later in the week and to strengthen, it would appear that we could be in for some pretty severe coniditions with heavy snow showers being created by the North Sea snow machine, and then driven in land by the strong winds. The lates METO text update for our region illustrates this nicely;
Headline:
Very cold. Snow spreading from the northwest.
Today:
Most parts start dry with bright spells, but there will be a few snow showers at first. Staying very cold and clouding over through the day with snow moving into the north and west later. Icy at times. Maximum Temperature 3 °C.
Tonight:
Very cold with the snow in the far north and west at first soon spreading across the region. There will be some accumulations, and very icy conditions developing too. Minimum Temperature -1 °C.
Monday:
Cloudy and very cold, with snow probably spreading from the north during the day, giving further accumulations in places. Maximum Temperature 2 °C.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
Tuesday, very cold, bright or sunny intervals and snow showers, some possibly heavy near coasts. Wednesday and Thursday, very cold with a biting northeasterly wind and heavy snow showers.
Issued at: 0400 on Sun 13 Jan 2013
Towards the weekend, there is more uncertainty, but with the models continuing their trend this morning to push any end to this cold spell backwards, I can only think that the likelihood of this cold spell being extended into the following week, with a continuing risk of snow is becoming greater all the time, particularly as we have an ongoing SSW which is clearly playing havoc with the jet stream and the models are really struggling to come to terms with how this will pan out.
In a nutshell, if you live in Yorkshire / Lincs, and you like cold and snow, you should be in for a real treat this week! Wrap up warm folks...
Great post. Thanks for that. Shame them charts show rain at the coast though! We'll see. Looks like a shower incoming here at the moment.
-
Have you checked the radar mate? There is quite a large/heavish shower heading your way!!
Thanks for the heads up mate. Might get a covering if that hits right. Might just head out for an early morning walk!!
-
Just getting light and peeped out of the window. Looks like there's a nice covering up on the wolds. Temp dropping now and finally at freezing!
-
Cracking showers overnight. Shame they were mainly sleet! Hail woke me up a couple of times crashing on the roof for me to peek out the window but nothing laying.
Just the wrong side of freezing at 0.7C with Dew point 0.6C.
Just seen the BBC forecast which shows no rain at all tomorrow for our region! I do hope they're right! MO site forecast still shows snow to rain event for us but heavy snow showers packing behind on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Wish that piggin BBC news presenter would stop her wittering and whining about the cold forecast! Very annoying!
-
The Met Office use NAE, but I'm unsure about its success rate, it hasn't done too well for here regarding rain events.
Do you know when the NAE updates?
