A much better day today, after early frost it's been fine and sunny with light winds. Managed to cut up and half fill the 2nd wood shed with the pickings from the last couple of months. This will be winter 24-25 warmth.

I was around in 1960, but too young to remember it. First major weather memory is the smog and daytime darkness in Dec 1962.

Another miserable wet day. Surface water in evidence yet again. Many fields have standing water again
Good points, wind had dropped in time for lunchtime bike ride, and there was some watery sun around lunchtime. However the rain was never far away.
Winds Force 2-4 WSW, temp 7C.
A gloomy threatening sky across the Wolds looking W at lunchtime

Another dreary grey wet windy day. Plenty of rain this morning, all the usual soggy spots filling with water again.
Lunchtime ride was delayed as the rain was due to stop after lunch, when I went out at around 2pm it had stopped, but winds were Force 6-7 SSW, and still 10c although felt colder with the wind. All over grey with a bit of drizzle.
This has to have been one of the most miserable winters for years, hardly any snow, no proper cold weather, and every week seems to have brought wind and rain.

Lunnchtime today brought more wind than I would have liked, force 4-6, maybe a bit more SW, but mainly sunny. Still mild at 11c. Overall not too bad.
Looks to be going downhill again tomorrow

Woke up to heavy rain, and still raining, more flooding I would imagine.

Been down to Peterborough on the train today, and coming home the degree of waterlogging in the fields gets worse as you travel home. From Hull up towards home every field has standing water.

Lunchtime brought 11c, and S force 3-4 winds. Cloudy with just the odd bit of brightness
Very mild, but not a nice mild, damp, grey and soggy. Looks like there has been quite a lot of rain overnight again.
Barring a sting in the tail another mild winter with only 2 days snow, and places out on Holderness and the Hull area have not had any snow as far as I can see.

Lunchtime today brought lighter winds SSW force 3-4, 7c and cloudy. Forecast rain still hasn't made it to our bit of the country. Local surface water flooding has now gone, but probably only until the next deluge

A much better day today
A frost on the car this morning at 6.30am according to Mrs Mike57, which was unexpected
Lunchtime ride brought 8C, sunny and winds WSW Force 4-6, stonger than I would like, but a lot better than the last few weeks. Overall quite pleasant
There are still some surface water issues around the area but nothing like yesterday.

Flooding again in Buckton, and the pond has doubled in size.
@A Face like Thunder I will be at the NYMR Friday, hoping for better weather

Flooding everywhere too.
A165 is closed due to flooding around Bessingby, near Bridlington, there were still large pools of water yesterday morning when we returned from Beverley and that was 24 hours after the last rain. I would imagine the River Derwent will be a concern as well.

Still raining hard when I went out to grab the ash bucket at 6am. Given that some of the surface water flooding from Thursday still hadn't drained away yesterday all the usual trouble spots will be bad this morning.

Finally stopped raining here, issues with surface water flooding locally, not sure what rainfall totals are for this area, but it rained for 24 hours, and even if its only 1-2mm an hour that still quite a big total. Problem is MetO figures reset at 9pm, and so 24hr total will be split over 2 days.

An hour off this morning,
We had this one as well, not weather related as far as I can see. Decided to give it 30 mins, had given up and was putting overalls on to go and get generator out connected and started as I work from home when it came back on. Very wet here with just the slightest hint of sleet this afternoon. In all a dull wet miserable day.

As expected a dull wet windy day on the east coast, had about 10 flakes of snow around 10am and a power cut, so cold and unpleasant without the snow bonus

yeah you’ll be too far east and too low down to see settling snow id imagine.
Latest updates seem to be slightly colder, but not enough to change the outcome I suspect. Watching the webcams at the NYMR is always interesting in these situations. Grosmont station is ~50m Goathland is ~150m and its often wet in Grosmont and snow at Goathland.
More peeved at the groundhog day bin men day, 50mph gusts for early Friday morning, which of course is bin day

Today has been fine and not as cold as forecast, lunchtime bike ride brought SW force 3-5 winds and 7C with quite a bit of sun. The wind is stronger than expected given the slack pressure gradient. The higher than expected temperatures today dont bode well for snow in this area tomorrow.
Forecasts for tomorrow here are all about 4C, which given predicted high humidity is just too warm to see snow. So I predict a cold wet day with strong to gale force east winds, 50mph gusts
again in some forecasts. Obviously the situation further west may be totally different particularly with elevation. Happy to be proved wrong and be able to post a white over picture, but not a likely outcome I would suggest.

Lunchtime bike ride today, yet again wind was the issue, managed 7.5 miles. Wind SW Force 6-8, gusting 9 on the exposed bits, ran out of time and energy. 10c should feel mild but the strength of wind made it feel cool. Cloudy, but no rain. Wind is the enemy of cyclists, and this winter seems to have had more than its share. We seem to be in another of those stuck patterns that have become more common in recent years.

Rexx We are actually just outside the warning area, on the little nose of land that sticks into the North Sea, not sure if that was deliberate or just the 'quick lets put out a warning but dont check it' scenario. Forecast temps are just a bit too high for snow unless you have significant elevation. Sleet and some slushy stuff maybe. As I said up thread happy to be proved wrong. Other things to consider are dew points, which look to be close to ambient so limited evaporitive cooling, and ground temperature, which will discourage accumulation.

Beverley Lass I think temperatures will be very marginal. Even a slight bit of elevation will make snow more likely. I suspect Holderness and Hull will not see snow, but more than happy to be proved wrong on the day. Higher Wolds and North York Moors will probably be a different story.
Yet again wind is the issue here today. 50+mph overnight gusts based on 49mph in Bridlington in the small hours. Forecast is more of the same, really fed up with windy weather.

I swear the windiest nights this winter have all been non “named storms”
Blowing hoolie here this morning yet again, I would estimate gusts close to 50mph. Bike ride aborted due to the wind, once out of the shelter of the village it was impossible to ride safely. Fed up with the windy weather. Bin day as well so plenty of rubbish blown about.

Not too bad today, fine, some sunshine, but still quite windy.
Lunchtime bike ride brought SW Force 5-6 which once out of the village made for heavy going on the 3 mile climb out of the village up on to the Wolds. Temps at 8C but wind made it feel colder. Broken cloud with some sun.

Down hill again at the start of the week after a reasonable weekend. Lunchtime brought Force 4-6 N winds driving a peppering of showers on shore. Temps at 8c but drops in the showers. Had a heavy shower of ice pellets whilst out at lunchtime. Not like graupel which is white and slightly soft, these were clear and hard. Very unpleasant whilst riding, had to shelter while it passed over.
