Snow showers becoming heavier as the morning went little of the sunshine so the snow has a lot of pollution in it which is why it's melting even at -1.8C. Finally got a full covering but only a few millimeters which probably go very quickly in a few minutes as the sun comes out and temperatures lift Max temp -0.6C, now -2.2C low -2.2C, Barometer 1016mb steady, Wind F4 E, Rainfall 0.4mm melted snow.
-
Nice right now not often you get the coldest temp at midday below zero -1.9C right now. Probably 5mm of cover needs some more. Correction now -2.1C
-
-1.8C and melting as soon as it stopped. Another shower coming so we've finally gained a little in cover hopefully the next one will provide proper cover.
-
Only if the temperatures drop a bit further. The winds may keep them up a bit. Probably needs to get below -2C to stop it melting. Now if the showers manage to fall faster than the melt that's the other thing.
-
The gap seems to disappear on sat24 radar however little sign of anything else building in the north sea other than showers.
-
South east looks the place to be. Some reporting on 2cm down there while all we get is a melting dusting.
-
Looking at March 2013 which certainly whipped this month for Snow fall. Only produced one ice day though. Today will probably produce another so that's four this month. December managed 7 ice days so shows how cold these short blasts are. Snowing heavily at the moment.

Some web cams showing snow or lack of snow round me http://www.sheffieldweather.net:82/en/mjpgmain.asp http://www.sheffieldweather.net:83/en/mjpgmain.asp http://www.sheffieldweather.net:84/en/mjpgmain.asp

Despite being well below zero the snow is melting so probably won't be anything left by this afternoon even in shaded spots. Just having the 2nd sunny spell after a beefy shower a few minutes ago. Shows what the combination of a little sun and pollution can do.
-
Just noticed a clearer spot in the showers and guess where that is heading.
-
Sun came out and it got colder a heavier brief snow shower. This stuff is highly polluted so despite being below freezing is struggling to settle on pavements and even where it's given a slight dusting on the grass it is rather wet. Also a walk down to shops showed no ice at all away from cars and my Stephenson screen. So I'm expecting very dirty windows by the end of Sunday like last time.

March 2018 C.E.T. forecasts and optional EWP contest
The PIT replied to Roger J Smith's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Sunny Sheffield up to 3.4C -1.9C below normal. Rainfall 79.7mm 125.1% of normal. Bigger rise than I expected but big drops for the next few days. -
Temps plunging here now down to -1.3C
-
Well a fail last night as winter would say radar showing the showers pepping up so time will tell today. If you're lucky you may something of note or very little as showers turn into mini streamers.
-
Nothing of note bar the cold for mid march here icy with flurries of snow. Not even a mm of snow cover.
-
Breezy cloudy Snow flurries and icy Temp -0.8, Barometer 1015mb rising, Wind F4 Rainfall 0.2mm

Rain in Sheffield

Unless the front beefs up a lot there won't be much tonight and sat24 doesn't show anything major behind it at the moment.

Sausage can you put your location in your sig. Some of us have memories like a goldfish so saying a few flakes fell here doesn't mean anything. Anyways looking at the temps I'm going to ignore the gfs as they're already well below what is saying for now.
-
Too be honest I'm beginning to wonder how much further models can improve at day five and six. Over the year it's still the third best and the pub run has ceased to be the joke it used to be. At one time they were going to work with ECMWF to improve it whether that's been shelved I don't know. Inghams85 can you get me the link to verification for those as I'm interested regardless of what model it is. The ECM is still generally the best with UKMO snapping at it heals.
-
One way to get a timing is watching the radar. The front in last hour has just started edging back west. This will give a good idea of actual timing.
-
I wouldn't dismiss the third best model in the world as a pinch of salt model and certainly not within the 12 hr period. It certainly often out performs our local forecast from the met. Yes it's gone back to what it showed two days ago but shouldn't be dismissed so easily.
-
GFS delays the cold some what so we should see light rain turning to snow by about mid morning. Temps at 6am around 3C to 5C so above normal but rapidly fall away to freezing or just below so could cause problems with ice around mid morning.
