hi guys do you know where i can find the dp for my area, hillsborough sheffield really cold now just hope we dont get icy rain again

[Model Output Discussion - 28th November]

hi guys don't know much about reading into the charts (so dont shout at me lol ), but i think i said this last year about the 528 dam needs to be established over the uk and into france before any large snow event will happen , this happened a few years ago now,the dam is there but waxes and wains because of lows rattling in off the atlantic which was a similar set up last year ,and that it drags in milder air, might be localised wintery events but nothing mounting up to much, i think the set up for the winter , wet and cold, hope im wrong love a nice wintery scene

[Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread]

the snow is going light then moderate no sign of any heavy stuff yet but has given a covering

[Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread]

light to moderate here in Hillsborough and sticking fast grounds so cold

[Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread]

hooray very light snow here in sheffield the DP ant temp holding out so looking good

[Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread]

gggr its so close i can smell it lol 0.c DP-7 looks like the bbc were pretty close with there timing

[Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread]

0.c DP-7 so tantalizingly close to sheffield now, give it another 45 mins start to see something looks like the pennines is doing its job by slowing it down

if i remember right we had the same problem last year with the charts having a wobble due to the complexity of the weather and it was a wine and wane situation with last years polar low wasn't till then that people were only looking the most +48hrs out max. think its a case of that again, theres alot going on and charts are struggling a bit, im no expert just common sense lol which i lack most of the time im a 528 dam man i place me pants on it will do something wintery over the next week or so nothing disruptive or major until the cold has really dug in ,the 528 comes and gose its only 2 days since the colds really moved in but im just going a bit at a time now because theres so much going on with the weather

[Model Output Discussion - 14th - 20th November]

In frontal battleground situations between Atlantic air and continental air, snow can fall to low levels in 528 dam air or even higher, but in showery polar/arctic maritime setups, or those easterlies with snow showers generated over the North Sea, 522 dam is often a better benchmark.

Meanwhile, today's models continue to show a shift towards zonality but it's notable that the colder polar maritime type of zonality is mostly locked out on the wrong side of T+168, so for the reliably-foreseeable future, high pressure continuing for two or three days and then a fair amount of tropical maritime south-westerly types, with dull wet weather in the west but some dry sunny interludes in the east and south.

looks like i need to get my head round these charts think ill wait for the 18z and get stuck in

[Model Output Discussion - 14th - 20th November]

Sure it would, but such a shame the models are only showing brief Northerly topplers (24-48 hour shots) or brief incursions from the NW. Basically equating to snow over hills and mountains in the North.

Just keep hoping and our time will come.

thanks backtrack will be keeping a eye out for a more sustained 528 dam

[Model Output Discussion - 14th - 20th November]

hi guys back for the winter, by the looks not looking good for some cold weather at the moment, im not really that good reading charts but i know from last year that the 528 dam was a part of our snowy winter, i looked at the chart and seems to make a appearance over the uk at the end of november/ beginning of december would this be a player in bringing us some wintery conditions or any influence in cold weather
