They always do well whether it be thunderstorms, severe gales, torrential rain. Well i tell you what, they ain't having our snow! period!
lol
and yup we should do better than the S.E
Lewis
I am certain during the summer of 2007 whilst I was working overseas in Greece; Hull was 'devasted' by torrential rainfall.
BUT on the other hand.. yeah the snow is ours.. go away Gravy haters.

Again when I see posts like this I wonder if I am looking at a different set of charts to some other members. The easterly for tomorrow and early Friday has actually upgraded in the last two days- there were some earlier runs that had limited snow potential away from the extreme SE as the shortwave currently over East Anglia was progged to move too far east. The snow from the easterly behind this shortwave was always forecast to begin at any time between today at the earliest, and Friday at the latest. The reality is late on Thursday, so the middle ground solution is set to come to fruition.
Evening,
Actually the cold weather was hyped up to be on Monday... or did we all forget last week? I'll believe it (the snow) when I see it as it constantly gets pushed back.

Its not the figures I'm discounting as such, it's the areas there forecast to, and the way the temperature are changing.
For the temperature to be -2C at 12pm (fair enough), but then to drop to -5C by 3pm, anyone with experience in climate physics will know that on an island which is predominantly affected by the Atlantic ocean, this just doesn't happen!
If you think it's going to happen, good luck to you!
It was only about 3 years ago that Grimsby right on the East Coast never rose from its night-time of -5C. I am sure these kind of temperatures happen more often then we think/we record.
-
Anyone care to tackle my question?
-
I was hoping someone could shed some light on a question of mine.
The 7 day forecasts that NetWeather has available through the mainpage. What model are these based on? They are always wrong.
Take the last few days foreinstance always forecasted to be 9c max, never more than 6c locally. Today was progged for 9c, max was 5c.
As for today's weather near Grimsby, a couple heavy rain showers earlier, now there is light snow blowing around in the air.
-
Well I can confirm at a glance out the window its still over 5cm here in Humberston - no sign of melt, I think maybe your imagining it
ah well night -
Well am sure the local council will be busy tonight, sure didn't look they have gritted for a few days. All the B roads are getting covered quickly despite the rush hour traffic!
Ps. I wonder if we sold our salt and grit to them southern softies
-
Dont understand this, coastal areas are getting pasted, but further inland where there is no modification its begining to rain, how does this happen?
Ah true, but up until now we (Grimsby, excluding 'just a mile down the road') have barely seen any of the 'white stuff' aside from a dusting last monday. So I think we were long overdue 'our turn' !
-
I am a fan of the 16-day outlook and I can't see any 'worryingly' Mild temperatures at all throughout the run. Sure its slightly warmer - but I don't call 7c 'Mild'. Will this unexpected snow cover across Eastern parts of the UK play any part in slowing the warmer air moving in?
-
Anyone witness the SHEER SIZE of the flakes that feel as this moved into the Grimsby area around 1pm? I have never ever ever seen such flakes the size these were - size of 50p coins these were simply huge! Soon after it went light again - then for a short period sleety. From around 4pm up until now its been snowing heavily - its beautiful out there must be 10cms in places! This was completely unexpected!
-
In answer to the thread title.... doesn't apply to me! Barely seen any... just a dusting. Not fun.
And I don't really understand why the question is being asked - probably by the mild lovers. 99% of forum members have been waiting for years and years for decent snowfall - can't complain now its here. ;-)
-
So here in Grimsby we got a feeble amount on Monday and really don't understand why it keeps turning into wet snow and sleet :/ What's the chance for the coastal towns over the new few days and weeks? Been very very disappointing so far and its annoying seeing the rest of the country enjoying the snowfall!
-
Well I try to understand the lingo, but ultimately when I read its gonna snow today at my postcode on a website like this, huge amount of discussion, BBC maps showing between 5-30cms of snow predicted, lots respected members saying its a dead-cert I can't help feeling disappointed somewhat.
Sunday nights forecast - continous snowfall - accumulations. Monday day - few snow showers in the morning, becoming heavy by the evening and overnight.
What actually happened - kept waiting and waiting - it snowed for 10 mins, wait wait wait, 10 more minutes of snow, dry for 6-7 hrs (or very light snow) whilst I sleep. Wake up Monday morning where the flip is this deep snowfall as forecasted to batter the east coast. I arrive at work 8am, look at outside its snow again, yay its getting heavy - it must settle - thinking *we must just have been unlucky over*. 20 minutes later - OMG why isn't it settling? Why is it thining and getting light? Couple hours later, gee I don't care anymore as I turn to the window and its turning to rain - even though its approaching 4pm and the sun is thinking about going down for the night.
Don't whine as if the forum has a responsibility to predict the furture for you. The forum is here for your enjoyment or interest. Plus the casual predictions of most forum members are not what you should go by. There are plenty of knowledgeable people on this forum and collectively they give a well balanced view of the potential outcome of any given situation. Some will be right and some will be wrong. Don't blame your misfortune on forum members.EDIT: Don't mean to be harsh, but this kind of slightly aggressive sentiment ought to be nipped in the bud.
Fair enough, just a little ticked off...
About this Mild Sector.. I could have sworn I read it was arriving on Tuesday?
-
Well once again the news shows places with loads of snow and ridiculous headlines like 'greatest snow fall in 20 years' and yet still even though the forecast said 100% chance of snow it turned to sleet and then rained! And even when it did snow it was just fine crap that takes 505 years to accumulate - the odd burst of heavy flakes. Ultimately I disappointed - I knew I should have ignored the forecasts and paid more attention to the actual SSTs here on the coast.

Yeah he is at his family's house. Although he lives/has lived in Louth previously.
-
Well if i told you 2 hours ago it was gusting 34mph here, and now its gusting 8mph. I think everything is going our way now!!
Its here, the best from the east is here!
Been what maybe 4-5 years since Louth had white-out conditions. I remember taking a looong detour from my previous workplace *In Sprunehorpe just to check out the area
It won't let me type scun-thorpe O.o
-
i would say at least and that would be level snow, never mind whats blowing about!!
although it is moving pretty quick so we need more to follow it in.
True that, very windy. Would be great if it slowed down over the top of our region and gave a dumping.
-
Snowing readily now albeit the fine kind, wanna see them juicy big flakes.
-
Screw them lol What about us! Nothing more than a flake all day.... a slight dusting ~.~ Watching the national news is depressing. Come on! Give us some!
-
All we've had here so far is the odd few light snow grains in the air.
The upper air is very cold as the humidity is just 63%, but the ground temperature is 3.2C, so too warm still.
Well here in Lincolnshire I've no idea what the ground temperature is, but its snow lightly atm and every flake it sticking easily sir.
-
...... please oh dear god change the title.. idk if anyone else has mentioned it, but that is blasphemy.
E Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will suffice.... jesus christ Humberside was removed from the map over 12 years ago and still we are constantly reminded whenever we fill an application form online. Grimsby is in Lincolnshire, Hull is in Yorkshire. How can someone get confused which area they area in! Please remove that god damn word. >.<
And PS. Yes I know the 'Authority' I am in is North East Lincolnshire, but the county is Lincolnshire *points to the third word*.
-
Yeah great weather, frosty in places all day. Temperature never rose above 3.5c according to my car.
With having such a close proximity to the north sea this bodes well for the coming winter. -
To be honest I think we are all wrong.... the definitive answer is....
It starts when it wants to.
-
Oh it got moved to a new thread lol hmmm
Well the point I was making was the seasons follow the equinoxes that has been the accepted norm for 1000s of years (am guessing, ok so a long period of time) where as the so-called meteorological winter has been existence for a fraction of the time. The former uses a natural occurrence (the shortening and lengthening of day vs night) where as the latter uses a man-made fixed position (for convenience/laziness) - the gregorian calendar.
ah well night

Well considering last night started at like -2c and rose through the evening - waking up to no frost. Tonight's temperature is tropical.
