[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Hulls taking a hammering now them showers are inline for me The full lot w00t w00t

enjoy it mate because as soon as we start to drag in slightly milder air early next week altitude will cum into play and therefore a fairly rapid thaw in low lying areas but not here

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

yes its nice to have a persistent snow cover but like footage just shown on look north showed previous harsh winters bringing plenty of snow after snow topping up the covering! The deeper the snow the longer it lasts. The snow we hav will jst gradually thaw n thaw to the point where theres very little!!

Whats annoyed me however is the fact that the bbc n paul hudson have continuously said 'theres more to come' 'persistent heavy snow showers' snow moving in etc! and all have been WRONG! I dnt like the way they build up hopes only to destriy them

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

i dnt understand why everyones so happy. Yes we have a lovely deep snow cover but looking at the news and synoptics you'd think we have a good few feet of snow! we had a great dumping at the beginning of the week only for the rest of this week to be bone dry and lack of precip!! In severe winters gone by they've had persistant and at times prolonged snow!! so there is nothing to look forward to in terms of snow sadly as temps will very slowly start to rise. This cold spell is slowly sliding from under us!!

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Too me it looks like your in prime position over the coming few days. I would not be too dis-heartened regarding the BBC forecasts. Forecasting snow especially with so much instability and so many different flows can be very very tricky. Last night was an example, the way the flow switched so quickly sending heavy snow showers over East Yorkshire and sinking South Westwards into NW Lincolnshire.

The potential is there, certainly all the ingredients.

May i ask how much snow you have on ground up to now? As for as I'm concerned you have done very well compared to other parts of the region.

6inches pushing 7

Hi Arnott,

Where abouts are you located?

Thanks

North east leeds -alwoodley

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

wht a joke!! we have near perfect synoptics and no snow! so much for paul hudsons forecasts all week of heay prolonged snow showers! The good covering we had is just slowly residing now. And by the look of the latest charts its staying dry all today and weekend!! Just typical i'm afraid-a waste.

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

welllast night was a huge let dwn for western parts again not sure about east of A1? Amazing me how they can get the forecast so wrong so close to the event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

[General Model Output Discussion]

Off topic I know, but I'm really missing the input from our more 'valued' members, one or two are dropping in now and then which is appreciated, but certainly not with the frequency I have become accustomed to over the years. It's a real shame, but I can perhaps understand why they are not frequenting this thread at the moment.

ecm looking good!! very good out to 144

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

bbc charts look promising but will change. Look north looked promising but will change and no paul hudson so maybe sumwht embarrased about the lack of snow showers west of york yet again

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

i hop paul hudson tells us about thge lack of snow coming our way in the next few days rather than hyping it up again n making us excited because going by the latest forecasts n charts we are likely to recieve little if any snow during the next 5days unless you live on the beautiful yorkshire coastline-wht a shame because we cud hv been lookin at huge totals just a few days ago

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

hey mate,

Showers will start to push more South now, as the low pressure edges further SW. Could be a few more showers tonight but mainly confined to eastern coastal parts. Temps down to around -6 around here, metoffice/bbc go for -9 but i doubt that's going to happen here.

As we head into the morning, showers will become more widespread, especially around East Yorkshire, NE lincs. More heavy showers too for areas like the Lincs Wolds.

Saturday - More showers once again, with sunday a possible prolonged spell of snowfall for eastern parts again pushing up from the SE. Although it could be marginal for some areas on sunday (although the way things keep upgrading i doubt it very much).

I'll be heading out soon for some lunch and im looking around at offices. If you need out drop me a PM and i'll reply when i get back.

Hi because a soon as temps start to rise in the sun light, and you get some cloud cover, dews rise slightly too and so does your wet bulb temperature, this is whats needed stop a thaw at the surface.

thanks for explaining

i have to admit i think paul hudson will be a littlr dissapointed in himself really as yes he predicted the snow the other night (however not the amounts tht fell) but thereafter his forecast was for persistant heavy and at times prolonged snow showers for the rest of the week with today looking notoriously bad. However this hasnt quite panned out as today is quite the opposite like yesterday and tonight/tomorrow i really cant see many snow showers pushing in land as the frequently updated bbc met forecasts keep changing there graphics. The weekend doesnt look too promising in my opinion. I think any snow will be to the south and a slight thaw under cloud cover up here. However cant complain about the cold temps and current snow cover and i know a few to the east are recieving one or two heavy snow showrs

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Hi again and thanks. yes i just watched the forecast and it looks like we may be in for a shower or two tomorrow,although with our luck the forecast will probably change and it will miss us again. Bit gutted we didnt get more really.

second that

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

i am from the dewsbury, kirklees area though, so i am more to the pennines where it would be colder. do i have a better chance of low minimums at night. manchester at -18 is astonishing, that must be a record.

yep i think it was recorded at -18.6c

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Last night oxford got down to -18, but manchester also got down to -15. what i really do not get is why many rural parts of yorkshire keep getting relativly mild temps at night compared to some cities what are recording doubledigit minus numbers. tonight on bbc site, it is saying -9 and -10 for next two nights, so i keep the faith. anyway does anyone know how cold it got in yorkshire last night?

leeds -6c

yeadon -6c

leeming -8c around tht

north east leeds -9c

And actually greater manchester area got down to -18c. truely astonishing!! tht SURELY must provide problems of its own. I think generally we are not having such cold temps because we have a slight influence from the east such as a stronger breeze and the odd patch of cloud cover however oterside of the pennines are very sheltered with no cloud or breeze. hope that helps

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

well all the snow showers missing leeds as per usual

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

He had been on when the original post was posted. He does the weather on look north for Hull and Lincs at 6.40 then does it on Look North for Yorkshire at 6.50.

hey cool. i didnt knw tht! and ye them kids was annoying

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

Paul Hudson just said, more showers tonight.

Then tomorrow, concerned about the heavy snow and mainly concerned about the uncertainty, as its too hard for them to predict. Possible disruption, for East Yorkshire and Eastern and NE parts of lincs.

Also said this weekend potential for further heavy snow and drifting

GET IN W00T

mate paul hudson hant been on yet luv

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

lovely deep snow here in shadwell/alwoodley and just started to snow lightly. Amazing scenes. and very unexpected going by yesterdays weather forecasts. Anyone have reports wht leeds city centre is like??

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]

A very important ECM coming up tonight.If the ECM is great, then i expect the GFS to produce a big upgrade in the medium term within the next few runs.I just hope the ECM is a cracker this evening

lets hope so or an early night maybe required. still a nice snow cover here in some parts alwoodley/shadwell

[Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion]
