Funny as soon as they update the warnings the rain stops.
Where are you viewing an updated warning from? The last Yorkshire update on the MetOffice site was 14:05 as far as I can see. The Rother looks to be in trouble around Rotherham from what I have seen too. It has risen significantly this afternoon and is almost certain to flood if heavy rains do come this evening.

BFTP - it's been a long time since I posted on this site, though I do still visit it from time to time. Have just read the summary you have given regarding global cooling. As you may be aware (or not!), I have tended to support the concept of natural cycles being dominant over man made global warming. However, in all the arguments and debates that there have been on this topic in recent years, nobody has previously to my knowledge mentioned the 230 year cycle with the 2 warm peaks.
I am aware of the 2030 Minimum that is due - but where has this information arisen from regarding significant phase 2 cooling from 2023? I assume that this is something that is at odds with the science community at large, as global warming is clearly still the theme, even allowing for the cooling that has started to occur.

You said it GW - the effects of the virus itself are only part of the problem. The rest of the problem is with the nature of humanity in the west. We are too used to comforts, luxuries and medical excellence, and are just not equipped to cope with anything out of the ordinary. The fuel protest was a case in point - not just the fuel, but the stupidity of those buying 34 loaves of bread and 65 packs of sugar just in case.

Whilst we as humans often talk about major catastrophes killing millions without ever seeing it happen, it would seem to me that the H5N1 virus poses a major risk. I came down with flu - 102F temperature, fever etc, and what I noted was just how easy it is to catch. It seems to hit the population of this country every year to some extent. Add into the mix a dangerous killer strain, and it really isn't difficult to see how this could spread dramatically. Once H5N1 is in an easy to spread human to human form, it will be round the world like wildfire. Furthermore, there is no way that it could be contained anymore than ordinary flu is contained.

PottyProf - unless the rain stops falling relatively soon, Catcliffe is going to be in trouble again. The River Rother was still very high even before the rain began at 4pm this afternoon. Since then it has intensified and the forecast does not appear to offer great hope. Rotherham Council say they are better prepared this time. We will see.

Well, the heavy snow has arrived in Rotherham and I have to concur with DS regarding the Sheffield conditions. I have just done a journey from Dore across the ring road, and seen numerous places where cars have skidded off, watched a car skid continuouslu up a hill, had a few myself which I was confidently able to control.
By the way, there is one gritter out on the ring road so half of it was okay, the half I was driving on was pretty bad though.
Awesome stuff. At long last, the snow is falling intensely and over a long period of time. It is even intense in Brinsworth, the worst place in South Yorkshire for snow.

From swinton, so just outside of Rotherham, and there is nothing but sleety rain here. I expected sheffield to have snow due to there higher elevation. Oh well,
Don't give up yet mate. As TEITS says, the heavier the precipitation the more the likelihood of it turning to snow, and so far the heavy stuff has not arrived in Rotherham. SW Sheffield is a good 16 miles nearer the main precipitation band than Brinsworth, and I again am closer than Swinton. If it arrives here, I will let you know.

Not sure where you are in Rotherham, but that may be a factor. I am in Brinsworth and we have light drizzle. Just been speaking with my mother in SW Sheffield though (Dore) and it has been snowing for 1.5 hrs there and has just turned really heavy. The height is everything. If you are in Wickersley, you should start seeing something. Personally, I am off to Dore in the next hour or two. Awful traffic, say the media? Who cares!!

Maxdamage... Just down in Rotherham we are having the same problem with high temps and sleety rain. The snow reports show that the system is producing snow north of us and south of us. Is it really likely that snow will fall here, or realistically are we going to miss out on anything significant.
The BBC radar seemed to show a heavy band over us later on, but no evidence of that on the ground.

What the hell is going on its stopping here in sheffield can someone please tell me whether there will be any more heavy snow.
The morning snow is a total bonus. The main snow is not progged to reach us until the afternoon, with the heavier stuff later on in the day. I woke to snow outside and was pleasantly surprised because I expected it to be clear. I am in Rotherham, but essentially Sheffield will take a bigger hit than I will because of the elevation. Chin up - we have something and more to come.
UTB.

Snow arrived in Rotherham in the thin band at the front of the main band of precipitation. Sufficiently heavy to provide a full 1cm - 1.5cm covering. This is a bonus as forecasters had not predicted snow to start falling here until midday, with the heavier stuff later on. Will take my 10mth old daughter out to experience it for the first time in a little while. Temps interestingly at 2.1C. Snow currently stopped.
-
Interesting charts those Snow-man2006. Judging by that the best place to be post 12pm will be Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire and South Yorkshire as these areas are constantly in the decent snowfall zone. I suspect that the truth is that the main snowbelt will be further south, though I am sure we will get some action in South Yorks.
-
You're only just down the road from me. It depends how far north the Atlantic system gets, but South Yorkshire is highly likely to get some snow tomorrow - the question is how much?
-
What about Rotherham? According to Mr Hudson on Look North forecast we appear to be in the zone for 2-5cm, but at the same time many on here are suggesting that we are too far north.
-
I understand the concept of the topic, and in fairness there are probably some areas of Britain where a decent snow event can be reported from this century, such as Scotland or the South West, but here in Rotherham it has been pathetic. Therefore I would say late November 2005, not because there was snow but because there was a least a really good cold spell.
-
To be honest, the answer to the question "How was it for you?" is determined by the original level of expectation. For me in Rotherham, expectation was extremely low, which was a good thing because in terms of snow this was a complete none event. The band that came down across the country on Tuesday night (our only shot at snow really) provided snow for Sheffield and Doncaster but only sleet for us. This was consequently disappointing.
However, it has been lovely to experience some winter sun and colder temperatures, rather than the rubbish the Atlantic has been throwing at us for the last couple of months.

It's about time I had a crack at this. Winter seems to come later and later every year, but February has generally produced over the past few years and is the most likely month for cold. Even so, I am not convinced that there will be a belter this year. Straight 4.0 for me.

Hi guys. Could one of you technical wizards explain to me what the trackback in on the blog section, and how it works.
Cheers

Hi Delta76. I was high up on the east side of Rotherham at 18:30 too. There may have been snowflakes but this has essentially been a seriously heavy sleet shower. A little bit started forming on the car, but it was always extremely wet at best. Hopefully better to come later in the week. Still, I enjoyed the sleet as it is still the best we have had so far this winter.
-
Confirmation of the torrential rain in Rotherham. It was fantastic, though still not quite up to South African levels. Plenty of lightening and loud thunder and yet the humidity still lingers.
-
South Yorkshire has finally joined the party. Snow started falling around 5pm and has settled on the grass. Not much yet but the skies are dark and much promise is in evidence.
-
Sleet showers this morning. Temp currently 2.6C.
-
Had a sleet shower in Rotherham at 9am this morning. The emphasis of this sleet was rain with temperatures at 35.2F and pressure declining. Pretty much as expected, to be honest.
-
Very heavy snow shower for 20 mins in Rotherham. Settled on everything after about 1min - 1cm accumulation with frost layer underneath. Temperature -0.2C. Cloud cover and radar suggest much more to come. Driving conditions treacherous and already seen one guy fly across a main road after skidding down a hill. drive carefully in this area tonight.

The rain belt currently appears to be intensifying as it is moving north - and all the forecasts seem to indicate that it will survive the journey.
