  1. Looks like a good time for a break from the models after Friday. A frustrating spell really as the synoptics have been much better than the last couple of winters. I was expecting a streamer to at least deliver somewhere last night but just on the wrong side of the marginality all round it seems
  2. Sleet at best so far on the edge of Sheffield (200m). Hopefully there'll be something over night but less hopeful now. Might be looking at Friday for the next chance
  3. Looks like there is potential for a decent more widespread event on Friday too - an exciting week ahead. We have had 2 small/moderate dumps of snow (Dronfield - edge of Sheffield) in the past week so it's already been way better than last year's dire affair. Hopefully the effects of the SSW will fall in our favour towards mid month
  4. Heavy snow in Dronfield, Sheffield at the moment. Won't last but nice to see it at least falling from the sky
  5. GFS does consistently want to try to build a negatively tilted ridge up into Greenland in the first week of December and the high pressure to our East is moving away enough for us to benefit. Whether it plays out that way is another matter of course but there is certainly the potential for a good start to Winter (if you like cold).
  6. Crazy rainfall totals registered for the month with more than 2 weeks still to go. Next Wednesday/Thursday looks like it has the potential for another deluge too
  7. Looks like very heavy rain is approaching Sheffield now and other areas that definitely don't need it
  8. Looks like there's the potential for several hours of heavy rain for the region tomorrow afternoon/evening. River levels have fallen substantially but the ground is still very wet, hopefully it won't be too intense.
  9. The charts certainly aren't your typical zonal affair and could easily deliver something wintry mid term but we are definitely stuck in a rut with relentless low pressure systems spinning around the UK. Lots more rain to come.
  10. Very wet again here this morning with surface water gathering quickly and saturated ground. Hopefully Thursday's rain will stay far enough south else the swollen rivers will no doubt respond quickly
  11. Looks like the River Sheaf is going to breach it's record levels. Very heavy rain coming down around Woodseats still
  12. Unless they've significantly boosted flood defences at Meadowhall since 2007, it looks like the river Don will be making a big entrance into the shopping centre shortly
  13. Very heavy rain in Dronfield/Woodseats area of Sheffield right now - River Sheaf will probably start moving upward again if it continues
  14. Ridiculously hot day (and still is). Sheffield also recorded its hottest ever day at 35.1 degrees
  15. There's definitely the potential for something wintery towards the last 3rd of February. As usual with our island, the building blocks need to be perfect for deep cold but at least we're in the game. Worst case scenario, we can all start thinking about some spring warmth soon anyway!
  16. I don't think the output is really that bad for cold - yes it's going to be milder next week but it's hardly a horrific zonal train either. Plenty of chances for further cold and worst case scenario, at least we can start hunting some spring warmth soon instead!
  17. Alot of these apps are useless with these easterly shower type setups. They have no idea until it's actually snowing half the time
  18. With the previous beast an Amber warning for my area resulted in about 1cm of snow (followed by 20cm whilst under a yellow warning). Hopefully it'll be different this time!
  19. Still bitterly cold outside. We have some epic icicles forming off the slowly melting roof and an ice stalactite!
  20. No sign of anything for South Yorkshire this evening - it might well be game over for us for this spell now but we'll see what tomorrow brings! - Must be very exciting to be in the South West/Wales tonight, looks like an epic event is occurring down there.
  21. We've had a good dumping after that first Amber warning false start! - looks like we're out of the game for a while at least though. Can't complain really but looks like Emma has interrupted our shower trains whilst only bringing the dregs of it's precipitation this far north
  22. I've lost all faith in the weather apps for this sort of Easterly event. The models seem to have some vague idea of what might happen but not to any sort of accuracy
  23. Looks like the front might well reach south yorkshire at least if not further north.
  24. Amazing how long its been going in Sheffield - just when you think it's petering out, it lingers on a bit longer
