First -15er to come out, give me more of these, this is when the buzz starts to kick in for me, them slushy deposits don't cut it.

Immense. Fully agree. There’s your pipe burster Feb. That’s why I took my bat and ball home when this thread was buzzing over a North Westerly slush fest. This is when I start to get a tad excited. Granted it’s only one and we need these to appear more frequently. 

Out of interest what would the temp on the ground be under that? 

[Met Office and BBC Weekly/Monthly Outlooks]

Never bought into the hype anyway. Northwesterly slush or cold rain is what we get in these set ups. Todays update will be closer to what we get. Not the blizzards mentioned in the mod thread

Northwesterly slush fest? No thanks 

Never do well from them, although higher parts up near LBA get a lot

Heaviest was 21cm from a single event on 6th Jan 2010 but that was at about 200m and falling onto existing snowcover several centimeters deep and iced with a 10 hour event.

Other than that I recall New years Eve 2003, massive flakes for 6 hours, 9cm. 

 

25 January 1995. 45cm in 3 hours In Leeds

Yeah it’s quite tiring tbh, let’s hope the gfs is right

Yeah I thought the gfs must be good for the north, as it’s all a bit quiet on the mod thread

Anyone need some eye candy, P28 is the one

Can we get anything like this?

Interesting comparing London to Leeds WRT MOGREPS

Looks like the North has less scatter..

 

I’ll take it

 

[Yorkshire and E England regional discussion]

Oh dear. Cracking ECM run for the North. Touch paper lit

I had no idea how "London centric" everything was until I moved up here.

But beware, since I arrived there has hardly been any Snow! If this continues then I am sorry.  

Keep watching the mod thread. You ain’t seen nothing yet! Just wait till Thursday when all they can build is a ‘potential’ snow man. March ‘13 was epic. Obviously 2010 but that  was more memorable for the depth of cold. -6c at lunchtime in Leeds. Hopefully we get some this winter, as last year was poor (and it transpires you are at fault for that!)

Model discussion is slowly becoming a southern discussion how I do love winter

Slowly becoming? It’s the same every year. Snow accumulation charts will be posted constantly from now on. Don’t be too disappointed when you wake up and it’s ‘game over’ and ‘massive downgrade’ etc etc. This has meant in the past that we get the snow instead but that’s never mentioned. 

[Model Output Discussion - mid Autumn]

The following charts gave me in Leeds my most memorable snow event. Heavy rain until it turned to very heavy snow at 5pm. Over 40cm dumped by late evening. (Must have been some cold upper upper upper air temps). It certainly phased me

 

[Model Output Discussion - mid Autumn]

Well it’s been an interesting couple of days

[Model Output Discussion - mid Autumn]

Got to say P20 is easy on the eye

 

 

[Model Output Discussion - mid Autumn]

Well well. The chase for this year has begun…

ECM day 10 Is back to what it does best

Reports coming in that the wind is that strong that a Ryanair Plane has landed in the city it was actually meant to

Yeah .. damn expensive those bus shelters!! , lets hope no one was using it at the time 

Nobody there thankfully that’s the most important thing. Could have been much worse 

[Model Output Discussion - Snow Watch limited edition]

An expensive snowfall for someone

Ouch. Poor Lambo 

 

[Model Output Discussion - Into February]

So after a short break from posting silly FI charts i’m back. Great to hear from you Matt Tattoo and so glad you’re feeling better. I’ve been in a bad place myself recently but I won’t let it win. 
Anyway my eyes are peeled for the GFS to be finishing like this later

 

 

After this fine ECM tonight

Hi Kasim. Would you say Leeds is at risk of this or more exposed parts?. Thanks

The whole ‘it’s too wet to settle’ thing has always been nonsense. During the snowfall in February last year it went from heavy rain, to sleet, to snow - and it began settling almost straight away. If it’s cold enough, and if the snow is heavy enough, it’s going to settle regardless.

Exactly. People still say it though. ‘At least it won’t lay the ground is wet!

[Yorkshire and E England regional discussion]

Ahhh the great 95 event. The day Eric Cantona Kung fu kicked the fan. The best snowfall event I can remember. Heavy rain bouncing off the pavement big puddles until around 4/5pm here in Leeds. Turned into massive flakes and brought 40cm in 3 hours to some parts. Gridlock. Had to walk to meet my mum who had set off from the centre of Leeds as the roads were chaos. 
This event blew the ‘it won’t lay it’s too wet’ theory out of the water and I laugh anytime I hear that.
