Blimey, where did you learn that? I'll give it a try when this windolone runs out
Learnt it years ago when i worked at Leeds Bradford Airport.
Havent bought window cleaning stuff for years -
-
Windows cleaned inside and out so i can now see properly. Although not as straight forward as i thought, had to go round next door and borrow some proper
cleaning product as theres only bleach and fairy liquid under my sink. I opted for the fairy and couldn't see out the bloody thing when i'd done.
Neighbour gave me a magic blue liquid called windolene, squirted it on, quick rub and PING, perfect. She's not getting that back.
Vinegar in warm water, Use old News papsers scrunched up, Dap the paper wet, polish the window - You wont get a better streak/mark free finish. :-))

Can we both pray for a snow miracle? I have an exam tomorrow at SHU and I have done VERY little revision! ... C'mon snow! lol
Better do some CRASH revising now instead of following this. Think of what you might miss...
-
Fingers crossed it makes it up to Leeds/Bradford

Has been snowing on and off all day and now snowing very heavily and is settling nicely.
:unsure:Heavy snow falling now, between Leeds and Bradford, looks like its the start of it...

Now it turned to sleet. :-(

Spent the day around Leeds today, left home in Normanton West Yorks with about 3cm
Deepest Snow was up at Wetherby about 2"
Dreadful driving conditions off the main roads
Not been above 0oF all day
Roads became silly after about 3pm due to temp falling and slush turning to ice
Roll on Winter and some proper snow
Very light snow falling.
Bradford

Where abouts are you?
It's frustrating, just north of the snow band (I'm in peterborough) www.raintoday.co.uk
Fairly heavy snow falling between Leeds and Bradford, has been for last five minutes.
-
Some light - moderate snow showers in Saddleworth this morning
Light snow showers on and off this morning, currently a mixture of sun followed by snow showers, followed by sun again....
-
Some moderate wet snow here at the moment.
Light Graupel on a hill Nr Bradford.
-
97% of what has fallen has melted, everythings is either soaked thru or covered in REALLY wet snow. ITS MELTING.There's a very cold wind blowing here in Crossgates. I think it's rain/borderline sleet. Nothing has settled on the company car which has been stood all day.There's still snow here. Just gonna have a look out the back and see how much we still have.
-
...and now it's snowing again in Leeds. Moderate to heavy.
Currently 1C outside (courtesy of the car) moderately wet snow, should be gone in a couple of hours.
-
We have light rain here.
Watching Leeds on TV and no snow at Elland road.
It might now be down there however, it is snowing just a little higher nr Tong, has been for some time, still only a v light covering due to the tiny size of the flakes.
Could it get heavier i wonder?
-
Well you've been praying all week and because of this, precipitation reaching Harrogate is inevitable. I hope for your sake it is snow whilst I bask in more dryness and cloud.
What is your current temperature and dewpoint and is it stable or trending upwards?
Very light snow flakes blowing in for last few mins
-
Same here with the fog.. kinda spooky..
Theres a small breakaway band of precip just starting to appear to the south of leeds..
Were is the money going.. Rain Sleet or snow??
I'm kinda reckoning that any snow will be sheffield and South Yorks. If we get ANYTHING in or around Leeds it will be a miracle.....
-
Been snowing since 5.00pm
very light for the first hour then got a bit (lets say) very light to light with some light to moderate spells
has covered most of the road (side road) and all pavements and cars
don't know how long this will go on for but I would say I have had about 1-2cms MAX
How does this warrant a Metoffice Warning???????????????????
Are the roads meant to freeze?
-
Snowing light/moderate here too, the snow is piling up on the prevous lying snow
Moderately snowing now, looks good.
-
Am not that far from you and we have nothing here
its started again just out nr Bradford, bu tso light, its not going to do much.
Nearly .5 cms covering over everything.
-
Im very dubious atm for that percip to hit us on Monday night, it just seems unlikeley for some reason, probably because i put to much on the beeb forecasts even though the meto have weather warnings out :lol:
I'm not eve gonna bet a Quid on it fella.
It we even get a sniff of snow, i'll eat my pants!
-
I might have lighter snow, I've seen a total of 8 flakes of snow falling. You might think I'm joking but it's true, 8 snowflakes. Even though the radar has precipitation over my location the forcefield seems to be doing a good job of shielding us.
Virtually stopped now. :-((

Yes I agree I tend to trust the GFS with these features, BUT the UKMO is a big improvement and can only be a good thing with it shifting N so dramatically. So we still need the 18z or later GFS runs to come on board... But here is one other good piece of news:
http://91.121.94.83/modeles/gens/run/gens-21-2-42.png?12
GEFS ensemble mean is perhaps even better than the UKMO. So in summary:
UKMO, GEFS mean, ECM, JMA, NOGAPS and perhaps GME say YES for Yorkshire.
GFS operational and GEM say NO.
That's some majority in our favour! Quite a turnaround.
All i know is.... Just got in from a pub lunch and it started snowing with the TINYEST flakes. In the time its taken me to read a page and load pc, is doubled in size to small flakes. The car hasnt moved today, but it's turned from Dark Blue, to White!
Thank goodness I have a bottle of wine ein for the evening..
-
Good stuff Dave, it looks as though this one is going right to the wire, and
we won't really know until we're much closer to the event.
I'm happy with that.
Are we due snow today?? Just turned 40 yesterday and have a long w/e planned. Fungers crossed, now that would be an ace present!!!!

So whats the situation atm, is the percip moving in slower than expected or is it further north atm than expected?
Im really hoping it gets here a few hours early that would mean a bit better chance of snow on roads
, if going by the beeb i expect it around 8am, and expect light and some times moderate snow, if it persists throughout the day i would of thought 3-5cm widely on ground that didnt have snow previously, but considerable more on ground with snow on as settling wont be an issue, it will stick like glue!!Current temp -3.4c !!!!! Just keeps on dropping, according to beeb low tonigh of -2.c
/ misty as wellIts a real PEA soup THICK fog here. Surely that isnt good though is it? I know theres no wind about, lol.
