Think its sleet in the main at low levels - the later it arrives the better - looks potent enough and well organised though
-
If you look at some of the comments from the social radar then there is still heavy show falling as far over as Shropshire etc (or it was 20 mins ago). Radar clearly not correct. Got finer in Fenton but still falling moderately.
-
Absolutely pelting it down in Church Fenton. Started properly about 90 mins ago so crazy rates . Road in the estate has snow cover just shy of the curve height already. How long do people think this could last - I know the intensity will wain somewhat but could this be still going to some degree in 5/6 hours ? Is that possible for parts of our region?
-
Looking at that radar and its is definitely pivotting now (the snow / showers / front) . Somewhere is going to get asbsolutely blitzed from this especially if it starts running due West. Not fancying the idea of even getting to Ilkley easily tomorrow night at this rate so mixed feelings a little. That said I'll worry about that tomorrow.

The showers and front have now merged all the way upto Newcastle so it will be interesting to see how far west the pepped up precipitation goes.
Is it not moving NNW though rather than W or even WNW ? Hope not? decent last hour here in Fenton
-
wouldnt this front `pep` up a little as it crosses the pennines into the colder air ?
Certainly should
-
As far as I can tell the initial lighter front is not due into our region for another few hours so people need to stop stressing! According to the latest NAE data it is only going to be light anyway. The more interesting period comes tomorrow between about 12 noon and 6pm when more heavy snow will cross the region. Latest models suggest this will be heaviest across E Yorks and Lincolnshire and the NAE has been consistent about this in both the 6z and now 12z. Relax and enjoy everyone!
Exactly - if we get much pre 7/8pm it is a pure bonus. It is snowing near the coast in the NW of England so things are looking good.

I know this is for Church Fenton, North Yorkshire (just due East of Leeds) but it is quite representative of Yorkshire in general;

And even this 'milder' 6z GFS run shows 850's and thicknesses that are supportive of snow up until Thursday for our region, so even if it does turn milder after this, we still have a four day cold / snowy spell to look forward to this week. Bring it on!
Looks good. Currently very sunny but temperature starting to drop away already. Dew points are fine also - I always check XC weather for that. I'm very hopeful I have to say that the majority of Yorkshire is in the sweet spot for both these bands. The first I suspect may stall a tad and allow the 2nd to catch up. The gap between the 2 has been shortening progressively on the models. 10cm would be just fine come Monday teatime.

Glad you managed to shift your car!
I live quite close to the River Don and it was well up yesterday morning, probably almost as high as I've ever seen it. Touch wood though I think it would take a truely exceptional event, flooding a massive area, to raise the water level high enough to reach our house.
On the other side of the village they are building new houses. Quite high spec, expensive ones too. Well they are that high spec they had an outdoor pool yesterday, and it was still there this morning. Not sure if any of the houses were flooded but if not it looked damn close. I did wonder at the time they started building cos the bottom corner of the field they were turning into a housing estate had a tendency to flood in heavy rain. I assumed the builders would put in extra drainiage but if they have it isn't nearly enough!
Oh, forgot to mention earlier, I had to scrape the car windscreen at 8:45am this morning so cooler weather has returned.

Hi Ravelin, guess where I'm visiting from the 29th, for 4/5 days? I keep checking the charts and there appears a good chance of snow Sunday (30th) morning onwards but I guess it depends on the wind direction. Will Kemnay do OK in a NWerly or W or is it too protected from the Mountains to the W?
-
Now snow melt at all on the fields etc ...quite amazing really! Due to get to -9 tonight but actually warmer here than previous 3 nights at this time. Anyone got any thoughts re Thursday afternoon / evenings snow event? Couple of cm's ?
-
I'm in York, South Bank/Tadcaster Road area. Just been out onto the Knavesmire, oh boy. It's hammering down, strong winds and possibly around 4-5" laying on the ground (was really hard to see in the biting cold and snow) I'm a very, very happy *snow* bunny
Do you reckon Sundays games will be on? Hamilton Panthers won't even be on now and they play on the 3G at the uni. St Clements will get a week off also. Then again Sunday Football is for nutters so you never know! (these teams play on the Knavesmire)
-
Right final one now I imagine but its an hour from when I measured 10cm level to when i filmed this and it's been like this pretty much throughout that time and still is so I'm thinking 15cm easy here come the end. This was at 7-30 by the way.
Cheers
BB
Just measured again - 12cm's ...2 hours left IF the band keeps on track. 15cm's I agree is a likely finishing result. May be more but we'll take that and a freeze tonight / tomorrow.
-
Thats amazing!! I'm less than 10 miles west of you and we have about half that!
Not far off 5/6 inches now. This is going to not be far off 20cm's at this rate.-1 here , -1 dew point and breezy
-
CF is east Leeds of by about 10 miles and I haven't seen anything particularly heavy on the radar.
Thats some exceptionally localized snowfall.
That is on the path right in front of my house. can't be affected by drifting etc....quite surprised. Possible 15cm's I guess by the end of the night. It's bloody cold out here though. No city warming
18 miles to be exact (from Leeds city centre) Gotta be looking good for Lincs later?Garforth 10cm's - I would concur with that by the way.
-
Kids just come in from mucking about in the white stuff, just meausured depth and just under 4 inches in Church Fenton already!! Still moderate but a bit heavier than say an hour or so ago.
-
For those viewing the radars and seeing sleet around York it is full on snow and has been moderate for an hour plus already here in the vale. Snow all the way from West Yorks from what I can tell.
-
When is the heavier snow expected to hit?
It's pretty darn heavy here now (Church Fenton)
-
Church fenton (vale of York) moderate snow now. Quite fine and blowing about a fair bit but sticking. Not one bit of slush / sleet in with this little lot. 8/10 hours of this should equal a nice little accumulation.
