There's nothing actually coming down in those places though I don't think..
nothing coming down in east yorkshire and the radar as been showing rain/snow for last hour
-
Maybe you don't drive because the raods would be a nightmare!
i do drive but dont have anywhere to go for next few days as am on holiday. the thing with driving in ice is go slow be careful no problem at all, drive like a fool and and to fast thats when problems begin.

It won't be when that ice glazes power lines and you end up with no electricity! freezing rain is one of the most dangerous aspects of winter weather, ask people in ne Canada where many people had no power for weeks in sub zero temps, the ice brought down power lines in one of the most famous ice storms of the 20th Century.

Of course that was an extreme event but just goes to show for a country that is used to lots of snow freezing rain is altogether a different proposition.
yeah i know it can lead to problems in big ice storms that one in canda was very extreme and lasted for weeks we will get 24hrs at the most so we would just get the nice coating on everything and slippery surfaces. cant imaging it causing power lines to come down as it needs to be heavier and longer lasting does'nt it?
-
ah thanks for that reef so the radar cant really be relied on for where its going to be wet. it just gives us clues as to what might happen like i said earlier just stick to looking out the window today i think
so anyone in here actually getting anything falling out the sky at the moment
-
radars are showing big clitches
at 8.00 and at 8.15 big parts of misture disappear and reappear not sure how to post the pictures sorry

Using Rain Today, that was spot on for me at the weekend. Looks to be to far forward if no one is reporting anything atm, also it seems to far advanced compared to the last BBC Forcast, but also the free one on here shows the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes i am using the same two seems odd both are showing the same thing and are both totally wrong
-
Just done the school walk and it's lethal up here, everything is encased in ice in light rain and -0.5!!
wow sounds amazing would love to see that happen here
-
no me neither. but somethings getting it wrong somewhere
-
difficult to watch the radar when its not giving correct information. the radar just had a band of moisture over east yorkshire and still does but its bone dry here so radar cant be trusted
-
maybe a radar clitch?
-
none at all which is odd the radar says rain or snow but its as dry as a bone here in hull. think i will just look out the window and see what happens
-
well according to the bbc forecast thats just been on bbc1 east yorkshire isnt going to get any rain or snow i really hope its wrong.
edit look north just said its still on for snow no wonder people complain about forecasts always been wrong when on the same channel within five minutes one says no rain or snow and the other ones says lots of it!
-
hulls finally getting a decent amount of snow now main roads are getting a snow cover and i am smiling at least we can say we have had some this winter. maybe more next week. fingers crossed for that
-
starting to snow in east hull few flakes at the moment
-
its coming in very dark here in hull am window watching
-
Thats a very good sign for areas further east without altitude!
yeah hopefully we will get some in hull
where abouts are you in hedon reef i work at the bp garrage next to the co op ever come in?
-
got a temp of 1.2 and its falling and a dew point of -4.2 i east hull
-
someone said that it said zero for there area the other day but they had a couple of inches so dont think its very acurate, so yeah think best thing to do just wait and see what falls out of the skys. fingers very crossed for everyone. whats the betting even if we do get a lot of snow all the news will be about london if there get a few cm.
-
that chart looks great. started my holidays today so got all week to enjoy anything it can throw at us. lets hope today and next week makes up for such a mild winter so far
morning all, the excitement builds, i am slightly concered though that the net-weather snow risk for here today is only 52%, another doubt that has been put in my mind that this just wont be as good as hoped.
says that for hull as well. do netweather use the gfs charts for there snow forecast. if there do this could explain the low percentage
-
excited a lot today. the sun as been out all morning it just looks to calm and to quite for the chaos thats on the way. really hope hull gets some snow it usually rains here when there say snow so fingers crossed .
-
Well the latest models do little to alter my view that this is going to be a damp squib. The line of advance just looks all wrong to me. I've never heard of snow from a setup like this, except that which lasts a few hours before turning to rain which is what I think is going to happen tomorrow for all but the higher spots above say 300mASL and even then in the east and north.
I really hope I'm completely wrong! Lol.
surely the met office warnings and the net weather warnings and all the other sites wont be wrong at this point. there will have looked into the angle of the front and if it will snow or not.
-
so what time we looking at the snow starting in hull on the east coast ?
-
not even had any snow here so be happy to have seen some not even been below feezing for the last four days still sitting at 2c in hull very dissapointing weather here
-
novice here only started looking at these forums and the charts a few weeks ago! could someone tell me how the ensemble graphs are worked out? whats the difference between the control and the operational? i am loving the cold at the minute and really hope the ecm charts are right! we need a cold spell with some snow here in hull but apart from last year we hardly ever get it bad unless its from the east.
