    Another light graupel shower currently - the wind today has really dried everything up so it's blowing around like sand.

    Gritters are out (they've been past twice) and a couple of snow ploughs went through about 20 minutes ago, presumably being re-positioned, so Lincs County Council must have had a head's up about the overnight period and tomorrow.

    That winter was brutal - we lived out in the sticks (even for Lincolnshire!) and it seemed to go on forever. The mid February spell of snow and gales is about the most apocalyptic weather conditions I've seen in the UK away from the Scottish mountains. I had three weeks extra off school between November and March, a joy offset by the fact we lived in a house with no central heating and several spells of no running water because of burst pipes. I doubt I'll ever see another winter like it in this country.

    Just popped out to the coast to do a few things for work and that wind has some poke, must be gusting close to 30mph. Certainly feels chilly. one or two very light graupel showers, but not much else, and not much off-shore that I could see though it was tough to tell between eyefuls of sand.

    As for prospects for the rest of the week, why not just let it play out and see what happens? It's not like we can influence it anyway.

    Yeah I think a few of us, including me have been a bit jittery this morning. But I think today was always forecast to be light showers wasn't it. Main action looks from later tonight and Monday, Tuesday doesn't it.

    I just need to be patient lol

    I'm more nervous about this afternoon's football.

    If this cold spell has taught me anything, it's that my windows need a damned good clean.

    flooding is certainly an issue for parts of our region today, lack of warnings is poor! been raining here for over 12 hours and still coming down

    There are loads of Environment Agency warnings and watches going up in and around West Yorkshire at the moment. The Met Office doesn't warn for river flooding.

    That's an interesting new wrinkle! 

    A good example why the there's little benefit from hanging off every GFS run with this thing getting within the 36 hour range. I'm going to log off now, go for a walk, watch something dumb on Netflix and come back tomorrow morning when I can actually look at radar and Hi-res stuff like Euro4.

    I wouldn't stress over the warnings too much - they often seem to be miles off/slow particularly when it comes to easterlies.  During the 2018 Beast from the East, we had a good 20cm of snow on the ground before we finally got upgraded to an amber warning. A shift south (or north) of that initial low would be nice though just so we don't have a dry area over some of our region on Sunday.

    Was just going to post the same thing! The warning is just a placeholder and a 'watch this space' alert at this point. The warnings for Today/Tuesday will change multiple times between now and Sunday. It's genuinely not worth getting stressed about at this stage.

    Can't really fault the overnight output or ECM this morning - all staying pretty rock solid so far when it comes to the weekend and next week.

    Particularly interested in Sunday evening - this has been consistent for three days worth of runs now. I've been in three meteorologically defined blizzards in my life - one walking up Glen Clova in 1991, one in South Dakota in 1998 and the third driving, then stopping the side of the road for four hours between Varangerbotn in Norway and Ivalo in Finland in 2017. Sunday night *could* be number 4. Further inland - S Yorks and bits of W Yorks, North Notts, who will already have had snow on the Saturday could see some pretty impressive drifting as those showers penetrate well inland. The 2010 event, great though it was, never had winds gusting to 40mph, at least not down here.

    hey everyone coastal lincolnshire here (skeggy) how we going to do with this being right on the coast? should I be stocking up my fridge . sorry if its the wrong regional but the lincolnshire one doesnt seem to be very active

    It's the right regional thread, this covers Yorkshire and Lincs.

    Let's put it this way, I'll be doing my Boris-mandated exercise on Sunday afternoon at Saltfleetby, on the coast north of you. With my camera. From then until Thursday, it's snow showers all the way, with very little marginality.

    but if you look in the mad thread charts are bad lol then look at the location of the poster and there from the SOUTH!... this is why confusion sets in for many lol .. this is why we also have great posters like you on here

    It is a bit like a six hour rotating freak-out on there at the moment. I think I'm probably going to sack it off until Thursday or Friday and have a look then, when it's a bit closer to the reliable.

    Getting a bit foggy here - feels like a good night for some exercise.
