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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Im not a DJ, but a big music lover and music and weather fall hand in hand for me as I always listen to music when either out storm chasing in summer or driving in the snow in winter. Like all types of music but the more melodic/chilled Drum N Bass is my favourite, certain songs will always remind me of past weather events aswell.

Never saw snow forecast for Sunday on the models other than elevated North/western areas, unless I've completely missed something?

Temperature at Garrowby (245m) is currently 1.4c so I wouldn't be surprised if there are some wet flakes up there.

Cheers for that Nick. Certainly would tie in with some of the eye candy that the GFS was churning out in F.I, big question is can the signal be maintained and come to fruition?

The difference between the Euro4 and the 10.30 BBC graphics is quite large, BBC looks like its snow widely above 200m ish wheras Euro4 looks like highest tops of Pennines..... hmmmm

What's your acc on twits?
