Had a fair few showers today whilst at work which looked lovely at their peaks, but never lasted long enough to stop the gradual thaw of last night's showers. Garden now has an inch where the sun hasn't got to it and just patches of 1cm where it has. Although that is an improvement on this time yesterday. Radar looks decent upwind near to Bridlington, but need the showers to hold together as they approach. -
Well looks like we had a few showers overnight, better covering in all surfaces, maybe a couple of cm but hard to tell from my bedroom window through blurry eyes. Certainly looks cold out! Hopefully it's cold enough today that it doesn't all melt! A couple more showers before the sun gets to work and we might end up ok. We will see.

Unfortunately not, they're all drifting slightly south of west so we missed it again. Its not looking great upwind at the moment, really need a straight easterly here for our best chances but don't see that happening tonight

God the York band has developed a gap over me and the next pulses look to already have moved to the south of me. Not my day today I reckon. It looks excellent for m62 southwards as things stand!
-
Is that all of Yorkshire or just south Yorks please? Basically, is it gonna snow in Leeds?!
-
My question is... Can the Hull/Sheffield and the Bridlington/York streamers both survive as they drift slowly south or will one of them take all the energy out of the other? Hopefully not!
-
Another heavy shower just about maintaining the dusting. Seems to have settled better on what remained of Saturday evening's fall. That one originated in Bridlington and the core just missed to my South. Going by that, I should be bang on for the mass north east of here! 20210208_153727.mp4

I hope so, what makes you say this by the way because so far, its been a let-down, despite low expectations! Even the 2 heavy showers have left a dusting that's then melted away. The showers don't seem to be accumulating as much as they look like they should!
-
Yeah but to be fair Queensbury has a covering in July I should have specified low ground perhaps!
-
This is an absolute banter cold spell for West Yorkshire There's barely a dusting and the showers give up the ghost once they get near the A1! Bring back the marginal fronts please!! Rubbish!
-
Was always looking like south Yorkshire favoured as soon as streamers got mentioned... if Leeds gets anywhere near 5cm it will be a miracle now, unless something shows up for tomorrow!
-
It's amazing how such a packed looking radar is managing to deliver nothing here! Everything dying or just missing us to the north at the moment. Automated forecast has gone from great to meh. Only good thing I can think of is that the drive to work will be hazard free at 5am. Hope others are doing better than me!
-
No covering here, the only positive is that the flakes blowing in the wind are big now, rather than the microscopic efforts of yesterday. There looks to be a good line of showers from Bridlington through just south of York heading this way but they seem to fizzle a bit as they get near. The automated forecasts are good but the lining up into streamers seem to be happening, which is bad for West Yorks (good for South Yorks). If we get 5cm out of this today, we will have over-performed.
-
I'm not seeing any streamer at this point on radar, just a load of showers? And long may that continue as West Yorkshire simply doesn't get streamers unless it's an almost direct easterly flow. Much prefer the widespread distribution that's looking to set up at the moment!
-
You're welcome ! But you owe us for next week when the beast proper arrives!
-
I don't mind South Yorks getting a streamer, we probably did better up here with the frontal events in January/early Feb. I just don't want it to be close enough that we are in the dead zone either side. Hopefully they may wriggle up and down a bit to cover a wider area!
-
Can someone predict a streamer for Leeds please, I think I'll cry if we miss out
-
I think tiny variations in the wind direction can make all the difference. I'm looking for a fraction South of due easterly. Anything like ENE and it goes from the Humber to Sheffield!
-
Well it goes to show if you do hit a dark blue bit on the radar, it quickly escalates on the ground. Bit heavier and it would have been blizzard conditions! Only lasted a few minutes, would need 20 mins or more to give a covering I reckon. Hopefully it will continue to gradually get better but I've seen charts that suggest this afternoon may dry up again? 20210207_111516.mp4

Despite the radar showing the same intensity, we now have bigger flakes and more of them here. Not enough to actually accumulate, they seem to just be swirling around. But the radar looks good for some heavier echoes to head inland. Its looking good for the short term for most of the region Edit: looks heavy to my west, disappeared into the mist! Crossgates/Seacroft direction
-
Had a browse of the southeast thread to see how it's going. Looks to me to be just where it's supposed to be, not that you'd know it given some of the crying by some. Main thing is it's not further northwest than predicted so shouldnt eat our instability. Side note: Paul Sherman, it appears, is the southeast's sausage (where is sausage anyway, there's a lack of snow to be outraged by?)
-
Light snow started here now, flake size 1/10 but shows the proper cold air has arrived. Radar is filling in right across Yorkshire, interesting to see how this goes now. Just need that pesky front down south to stay away from our convection! Incidentally, my preference would be widespread light to moderate snow as opposed to streamers which will miss me and bury Sheffield! (sorry Sheffield )
-
Matt Hugo on twitter makes an interesting point about the showers being heavier than the radar would suggest due to the snow:water ratios. Was similar in 2018.
-
The north sea is coming to life. You can see the southward progression of convection over the past 2 hours as the cold air floods south, from Newcastle less than 2 hours ago to Scarborough now.
