Showers to the east seem to be getting heavier and more frequent. Read a report of thundersnow from the Hull area on TWO
That's promising as that's what we've been getting all night the showers from the Humberside and Lincolnshire area. Streamers have formed!
Moderate snowfall now in Wythenshawe

I tried to get into Manchester from Wythenshawe earlier, but traffic was crawling and from past experience when its backed up like that then it can take an hour at least to get into town.
So I've decided to do college programming work from home today... not risking a trip over the Pennines today
Wise decision! There is some wild weather over the Pennines!
As i live in the city centre and work in Wythenshawe i drive on main roads so i should be all rght even if heavier snow comes later. However, i think they will send us home by 3pm like it has haoppened before with far less snow.
Starting to snow again now.

I am at work now in Wythenshawe. It's an open floor with about 100 staff but about half didn't turn up (working from home option was given).
We've had an hour of sunshire but cloudy again now with showers to the east shown on the radar. Showers in Lincolnshire, the Wash and East Anglia are merging onto longer spells of snow and that's ahead of the low pressure that's moving in from the southeast.

Heavy snow no in Manchester city centre.
Lincolnshire is now getting pasted by an intense area of showery activity. It's coming our way..........
What a day!! :lol:

Oh my God! I have 3.5cm on by balcony. Everything is white as far as I can see to my east. Moderate fluffy snow still falling.
This is the best snow event for years.
Just watched the local forecast: snow showers on and off for the rest of the day and then a general spell of snow tonight.
The most important thing is that this snow on the ground is likely to stay for the rest of the week!

The last update shows Yorkshire and Humberside getting a pasting now! A lot of excitement on their net weather thread!
The introductory band that i mentioned earlier is over the Pennines now and about to affect Manchester in 15 mins or so. This one is light to moderate intensity.
Time for some sleep for me. Goodnight and i hope we all have a day to remember tomorrow or shall i say week?

Almost definately! They are heavier than the earlier ones and more organised too.
I'll wait till the next update and then go to bed as i have an early start.

Guys check out the met office radar (now works). The heaviest bands of snow showers of the night are now hitting the east coast preceded by an introductory band which is now approaching the Pennines. It's looking really good!

All the snow has gone from the 11:30 metoffice radar lol http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html - I think that's time to call it a night and toddle off to bed, hopefully rushhour wont' be too bad tomorrow morning.
This is only because there is a fault with the met office radar. The net weather radar shows plenty of snow on te east coast now.
Good idea to go to bed though as we have another evening/night of excitement tomorrow!

ok come on, whos farted again! this is not funny.... :lol:
I have the same problem!
By the way, i am popping in this thread from time to time because every snow shower i have received so far crosses your region first.
Looking with interest the situation in Linc, Humberside and Yorks.

I am slightly sceptical about this band of ppn set to make its way over from midnight to 3am. By the time its got over the Pennines I think alot of it will have broken up by the time it reaches us with the exception of higher ground as usual.
The same could be said about the showers i've had on and off this afternoon and evening. I am on low ground to the west of the Pennines and still managed a covering in the city centre!

Yes, it shows the precipitaion affecting us as we ll as the rest of England.
Mr Data re: the blob of cloud. This is a trough or generally more organised showers that have crossed the north sea and heading our way. It's not over us yet. It should be around midnight. Currently north Lincolnshire, Humberside and parts of Yorkshire are reporting increased shower activity as a result. The 18z also shws this from 0am - 3am.

Does it bring snow down the west side karyo?
The GFS shows a band of showery precipitation between midnight and 3am and then the main event tomorrow from 6pm. Plenty of precipitation!
In fact, the midnight till 3am band is getting picked up by the 10:30 met office radar on the coast of north Lincilnshire and Yorkshire. Areas south of Manchester should be mainly dry till about midnight.

Snowfall turned light here now.
By the way, has anybody viewed the 18z GFS yet? Until recently it was reluctant to bring the northerly blast at the 2nd half of the week. Now it keeps us bitterly cold throughout!

It's been snowing moderately here for some time.
Still tracking the blob of cloud in the north sea now touching the yorkshire coast.

Moment of truth now, there's quite an organised band of showers heading over the pennines now, so we'll se what we get from that
Yes, this is the band that got organised in South Yorkshire and heading westwards. Just starting to fall heavily here!
Karyo
-
Yep and plenty more heavy ones on the way.
Thanks for the radar image.
It clearly shows three streamers. One in southeast England, the second in the Lincolnshire wash and the onethat's relevant to us: Humber and south Yorkshire westwards. Quite heavy showers in this one.
If you look at the satellite image you'll see an intense white blob of cloud just on the north sea heading our way for the early hours.

Snowing again here now. Adding to the earlier dusting.

I haven't had any more snow over the last hour. In fact clear spells have developed.
The satellite however is picking up a lot of activity now in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire and i think we'll have further showers from 9pm onwards.

I went out shopping for a couple of hours and there were flurries of snow on and off in the gusty wind but no settling.
Then on my way back i got caught in a heavy snow shower. Small and thick powdery flakes which led to a dusting everywhere. My balcony has turned white with no thawing.
The met office radar is a picture! The showers frequent and getting heavier. They seem to be crossing the Pennines with no effort.
I think most of us will have a covering by the morning.
Also, have a look at the satellite pics to see the clouds gathering pace in Belgium, Holland and Germany. They are tomorrows snow!

All the forecasts ive seen don't seem to favour the north west (apart from high ground) as far as sunday/monday is concerned, with anything comeing from the east petering out after the penines. Any snowfall after monday will be light and squally in nature. So yes some areas will 'see' snow but nothing that serious.
At the end of the day this is an easterly event with any sunstantial snowfall affetcing central and eastern england.
It's nowcasting from now on! Already we are getting heavier showers than expected by the forecasts. We should do really well even if the east does better still.

The 2:30pm met office radar shows a streamer along the Humber that should provide interest for Greater Manchester soon. The heaviest showers are in south Lincilnshire, Nottinghamshire and the Midlands in general.

Am looking at n-w extra radar and the snow over you does look prolonged and fairly intense. Should be imminent over most areas at some stage I would think.
The shower has now passed to the west. It lasted nearly 15 mins. The hills to the east can be seen now and they hae a dusting.
No more showers from the east for the ime being as there is a gap as can be seen on the radar.
I have taken the photo on my mobile showing the flakes on the moss of my balcony.

This is a moderate snow shower. I was not expecting such intensity so soon and it is starting to stick!
The Pennines don't manage to weaken the showers much guys. Excellent news!
Showers like this overnight will lead to a covering.

White out conditions in Wythenshawe!
'White out' and 'Wythenswawe' don't normally go in the same sentence! ha ha
