June currently running around 1.3c below average here, continuing what has been a cool year so far. Still living in hope that this summer will produce the goods, 30c please!
-
Nice covering of snow above 200mtrs in the Moors and Wolds overnight.

Edit from this winter just gone on the dashcam.

Another poor winter gone by, less frosts so far than 2013-14 however we have had more snow this year with a measly 4cm and a colder min -4.5c in comparison to -3.6c. High ground however there has been a lot more snow so above 200m it's not been too bad, so at least I've been able to jump in the car and get my fix. Here's my dashcam edit for this winter.

Decided to purchase a Dashcam last summer, and used it to film various snow events across the region/country the winter just gone by. Here's a edit I made from some of the highlights, hope you enjoy
*mods please move to correct area if winter discussion is not appropriate thanks

Hello, I have just booked a late season holiday in obergurgl (Austria) going on the 2nd April. Does anyone have an extended forecast. Hopefully the cool air can linger on for a few more weeks to keep the snow in good condition.
Very difficult to forecast that far ahead, I am in the French Alps the week prior to yourself and am remaining hopeful for some decent conditions. Snow seems pretty good at the moment judging by above posts so aslong as we don't see any early Spring conditions coming from the South which isnt currently being shown we should be ok! Good Luck

Conditions are now conducive for snow to fall an settle at all elevations across the region and will be untill early tomorrow, the further east your are the better. Shower activity is already starting to pep up and the wind will gradually veer slighly more E of North as the night progresses. This really is a good chance for low lying areas of N and E Yorkshire and Lincs close to the coast to see some snowfall. All eyes on radar and good luck!

When's main shower activity ment to hit East Yorkshire ?
Window between 12am and 7am
-
Mod snow here currentIy, sticking on bin lid, grass, cars etc
-
Snow currently affecting the NE coast and a warning for Eastern areas tonight has been issued for 1-3cm and for 5cm over the North York Moors.
-
So here's a few from yesterday, started off in the Yorkshire Dales at Greenhow (415m asl) then drove back to the Yorkshire Wolds but took well over an hour due a jack knifed lorry near Blubberhouses on the A59. Garrowby Hill was also closed for a while but eventually managed to get up. Winter tires meant absolutely no problems at all once again
After today's snowfall I've now seen a decent snow event every month since November across North Yorkshire, not bad for an El Niño winter

Late to post this but we had about an hour of snow in Strensall from 0930-1030. Laid nicely maybe a bit over 1cm but total cover on roads, pavements. Instantly made people drive at 20mph. Had to go to Malton where there was none at all. A slight covering on Whitwell hill with mist at the top. What a strange reversal!
It's all gone now though.
Amazing contrasts across the region, as you would of seen no snow near me or on the Moors but the Vale of York had a decent smattering, especially SW York. Today has been the best snow day of the season for me, drove over 100 miles, stuck numerous times (not me other people in the way), seen some v heavy snow and some fantastic snow driving conditions. Will post some pics later

If were talking IMBY then its been another shocker, however across North Yorkshire I've witnessed a decent snowfall in each winter month which is more that 2013/14 could offer.

Any one think we may see some snow in east Yorks this weekend ?
Unlikely, but not entirely impossible, wind turns to the east by the weekend but Hull would need sub -9c uppers for snow being so low and close to the coast, but further inland with elevation is a good bet, little drive into the Wolds and you could see some white stuff.
-
What an amazing few years this was! 2009/2010 were the best years of my life for snow, and will take some beating.

18z ensembles backing up many posts tonight with regards to a chilly start to Spring, after a brief mild blip early next week the mean 850s for my area sit below average for the rest of the run.

Effectively all of March in latest EC Monthly is signalled as chilly under northerly-sourced flow, with pronounced +ve MSLP anomalies growing widely to N (esp NW) after mid-month. All in all, it looks like we will see disappointingly depressed temperatures for the start of Spring, with protracted risk of frost.
It certainly would be disappointing to see ideal winter sypnotics in March that are too marginal for the snow that most members on here crave. As Nick pointed out above GFS has a tendency to downgrade uppers as the time gets nearer, which could mean the diffence between snow at sea level and instead restricted to high ground. Here in the North Yorks I'm quite optimistic I will at least get my snowfix in the hills over the next few weeks, anything down to my elevation will be a bonus. 12z EC det looks rather wintry across the North next week with low pressure never too far away and uppers 850s around -4/5c.

Sounds good John! Do you have a link to the NOAA charts you speak of? Cheers
-
Mouth watering charts on the 18z for many parts, shows whats still possible, or is this GFS's last tease of the winter?
-
18z looks to be heading a similar route to the 12z however colder air delayed slightly, could be some decent snow events if we can keep the cold air entrenched in the disturbances arriving from the W/NW.

Hi all
I am thinking of booking a short 4 day ski break late ish march (21st to 26th). This is around a month later than I usually go on a ski trip so was thinking should I look for an elevated resort to help ensure good skiing with plentiful snow?
What are the ski conditions like generally mid to late march? Am I worrying about nothing?
Anyone know of a good ski resort with elevation that's on the cheap side?
Thanks for any help to this?
WW
I'm heading to Chatel, France 21st-26th so also hoping for some good conditions.
I went at a similar time in March 2008 and timed it wonderfully as there was a cold Northerly throughout most of central Europe and there was around 50cm of fresh snow that week. Not sure i'l be so lucky this time as Chatel isnt the highest of resorts, somewhere like Tignes above 2000m would be a good bet, but Im sure there are many other high resorts to choose from.

Looking at the GFS, uppers of between -6c and -8c are forecast along the East Coast this coming weekend. Living in the NE I keep taps on the conditions in which my area experience convective snowfalls, last Sunday/Monday we had uppers of around -7/-8c in which snow fell to lower levels even during the day, of course settling was a different matter and this only occurred either overnight or during the heaviest showers. For my area General rule of thumb is -5c for snow falling above 200m and -7c for low levels (my elevation). This is by no means a forecast as there are many more variables but my input after recording snow here near the east coast for a good few years.

As mentioned earlier today, for those interested, this is now available on UKMO website. It includes discussion re the anticipated SSW early in March (signposted for some time in GloSea5 and now appearing in other models) and potential subsequent impacts; plus El Niño and other factors.
Hi Ian do you have a link to this update? Can't find it on the mobile website. Cheers

35mm here, probably around average for this neck of the woods.

Not seen 30c here since June 2011, nearby York has done a few times in recent years but we are usually a degree or so cooler. A week of +25c will do me though!
