The PIT

The feline from the east and just a dusting from yesterday looking like we will miss out in this cold spell once more. Local forecast shows nothing of note after today.

odd flurry of snow cold Temp -2.4C low -2.6C, Barometer 1031mb falling, Wind F1 NNE, Rainfall trace

has anyone onm here got any proper lying snow other than a dusting??

Sunny Sheffield done to 2.8C -1.5C below normal no change in rainfall.

Actually we've had more flurries than forecast. I'm now just getting fed up with cloud which is keeping the temps up. If ain't going to snow properly let us freeze instead.

Bit annoyed south east grabbing the best snow showers. Send them up here we know how to cope with them or used too.

Thankfully NMM isn't very accurate and I've stopped using it because of that.

Well with the GFS ready to push double figure temps into South Yorkshire later on Sunday just a two days to get a full days cover in for winter and a couple more for March. The batch of snow showers popping into view ont he radar should hit north and west Yorkshire nicely as it heads south west how much of east South Yorkshire gets will depend on how wide the system is. Radar watching should tell us soon. temps minus -1.5C gone up a bit however as you can see from my webcam their isn't a lot of Snow around here http://www.sheffieldweather.net:82/en/mjpgmain.asp

GFS shifted northwards slightly so Sheffield on the edge of things tomorrow. Probably start with light snow which turn to showery as the day goes on. Not expecting a great amount from it say 1cm to 2cm. The snow is containing a lot of pollution my car windscreen was filthy when I got to the car. Probably explains why the stuff was melting even with temps below zero. Just had some icing sugar snow which brought temps down to -1.2C

Sunny spells and light flurries with isolate d heavier snow showers leaving a partial dusting Max temp 1.2C now -0.8C, Barometer 1037mb falling, Wind F3 ENE, Rainfall trace

Cold with a air frost and snow flurries Temp -1.3, low -2.8C, Barometer 1037mb rising, Wind F2 NNE, Rainfall trace

Good news ECM isn't really buying the GFS return to spring stuff. Cold coming back after less cold air.

Air frost already no sign of cloud yet so should get really cold. Hopefully the cloud won't roll in for a while.

Dry sunny day pleasant in the sun cold in shade and breeze once Max temp 4C now -0.1C, Barometer 1035mb Rising, Wind F3 ESE, rainfall nil

GFS bullish as per normal bringing a slow thaw Friday night into Saturday may bring some freezing rain to the mix as well. UKMO keeps us in the cold air so more snow. So the fi starts around T96 hopefully ECM follows the UKMO.

Sunny Sheffield down to 2.9C and a slow drop likely to continue. No change in rainfall so a very dry month on the cards.

Another nice day out in the sun quiet pleasant. Cold again in the shade but temps higher than suggested Temp 3.6C, Barometer 1034mb steady, Wind F3 ESE, rainfall Nil

There's no gaurentee that the feature will even develop yet so I would take the forecast each day and then look forward to Friday. Just thinking March may possible match the other winter months temperature wise. Certainly looking that it will beat all the three winter months for snow although that isn't hard. One day of snow cover would do it.

Friday looking the day with possible Blizzards across the region. Then it's up int he air how much milder it will get.

Cloudy start but now clearing another air frost Temp 0.3C low -2.1C, Barometer 30.35 rising, Wind F2 E, rainfall nil

Aaargh the curse of cloud returns. Temps on the rise as it clouds over. Hopefully it will clear before long.

Sadly a warm up is not far outside the reliable time frame so it looks like a blink and you've missed severe cold spell. Good model agreement from around T144. So will we a get the first day of lying snow. Not managed this winter yet so this week is the last chance.

Like the old days. GFS forgets the idea of the first low giving a return to spring but does with the next low. Thankfully lala land. Today a beautiful day warmer than expected although the cloud last night stopped the temps from falling. Tonight no problem so should be a good air frost.

Much warmer day than I expected and quite pleasant in the sun int he shade and breeze a different matter. Sunny all day and temperatures now dropping very rapidly Max temp 5.6C now 4.1C, Barometer 1028mb steady, Wind F3 ESE, Rainfall Nil

Local forecast only showing proper snow for Friday light snow Monday to Wednesday. Briefly showed more organized Snow Tuesday lunchtime but now removed it. As ever wait and see. Today is showing how powerful the sun is. Nice and warm in the sun cold in the shade and breeze. This should lead to nice convection over the north sea. Hopefully won't see any weird behavior of the snow like melting when it's below zero. The only reason I can think of why that happened is that the snow was heavily polluted lowering the melting point. Any snow that falls should be dry and easy to shift Fridays may have a higher water content so will harder to shift.
