    Photo of road past the Lion Inn on Monday 5th Feb, taken from the comfort of our Volvo XC60 AWD parked in the pub car park!  And yes, there were quite a few rear wheel drive cars and no I wouldn't have gone up there without the AWD! ?

    I’m sure it’s been posted in here before, but a great read nonetheless. A warm up for the upcoming week!

    Hi Tom, looks like we are in a great spot this week.

    I currently have 13 weather stations live on Wunderground across North Yorkshire, many in the North York Moors, Yorkshire Wolds and Howardian Hills.

    Going to be awesome watching all the data from various stations this week :)

    Absolutely, if you could pick anywhere in the country to be for the upcoming cold spell, N Yorks would be one of your first choices!

  3. The band of precipitation is about to reach here but it looks marginal with a current temperature of 1.7C (interestingly, only half a degree down on coastal South Shields). Need some evaporative cooling to take place, otherwise this belt might well wash the snow away and turn it icy rather than add more to the existing cover, though reports from further south are quite encouraging.

    On my mobile, so will keep it brief. Can report that here in Leeds city centre the temperature has fallen nearly a degree to 0.6 .C in half an hour as the precip has got heavier. Looking gd!

  4. Could have used any of the models for this, which all show a very similar picture. The precipitation for (West) Yorkshire was never modelled to hit here until 9ish and even then, not to be particularly heavy. The precipitation is due to pep up and stall overnight, with 1pm Monday still modelled to have heavy snow for most of Yorkshire. Although forecast, i truly believe that this event has been underestimated by the BBC et al good.gif !

    Can't post the screen shot, but take a look at temperatures in the precipitation further south - East Anglia etc. Clearly evaporative cooling is reducing temperatures as the heavier precipiation begins to fall. My point being - don't worry if your temperature readings are looking a little on the high side.They will fall as the precipitations hits! Everything bang on track as per the latest models. Reckon this is going to be a good one!

  6. I take it you mean the band spreading up from the southeast later tomorrow evening? NAE charts look good for most of the region, whilst the NMM High resolution looks marginal esp towards the coast, NAE model has been pretty good of latepost-5042-0-67399800-1358592933_thumb.gi this is for 06hrs mon morning.

    Absolutely, the precipitation predicted by ALL the latest models for Sunday night into Monday looks really positive for all of Yorkshire. Yesterday the front pushed in from the Southwest and hence Western areas did much better. However, the front tomorrow is pushing in from the (South) East and Yorkshire will do very well for snowfall! There is a very simple dividing line and this is highlighted by the latest models - those East of the Pennines will do very well and those to the West won't do as well!

    Right - I'm off sledging :-)!

  7. Great Sundays event now massively downgraded. Knew it couldn't go to plan for just one night!! Snow missing us and hitting the already snowed in eastern districts! Making up for a thaw today. Typical. Was really hoping the models had kept a westward movement.

    Adam, please look at the latest precipitation charts from the GFS and UKMO and say what you see! This latest 'non event' has delivered a couple of inches to Leeds city centre and much more to elevated areas and parts of East Yorkshire. Your constant whining on this thread is really starting to grate! Fair play if the models were showing drivel, but they're not! The next event Sunday night looks potentially more potent for some areas of Yorkshire than yesterday's snowfall, followed by another possible significant event on Tuesday. Please stop lowering the tone with your misinformed, pessimistic moaning!
