Hi Guys, Recently rediscovered the site and thought you might be interested in my weather station here in Finland, that I established when moving here back in October 2021? Having moved from Huddersfield West Yorks, the climate is different to say the least! Eg, Today's max & min were -10.5C & -15.6C respectively. Here's the link: Personal Weather Station Dashboard | Weather Underground WWW.WUNDERGROUND.COM Weather Underground provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weather reports, maps & tropical weather conditions for locations worldwide.

Update from Holme Moss after walking the dog! Temperature now down to -0.5C and a good inch of snow. Some of the passing cars without snow tyres or 4WD struggling as they go past. Luckily we have both but time to make an exit. Will be surprised if we are allowed up here tomorrow.

Moderate snow and a temp of 0 here at 1700 ft on Holme Moss above Holmfirth. Can see this road being closed soon.

Well just taken dog for a walk to nearest newsagents to get supplies and can confirm that we have persistent light snow that covered the cleared car windscreen again in the 40 minutes that we were out. Windy and nippy too but warmer than last night at -2.2C. Still coming down and definitely lots of small flakes rather than snizzle.

Without wishing to cause too much excitement in here but totally in line with my earlier post this PM I suggest that you all look at the following: https://www.buienradar.nl/wereldwijd/europa/buienradar/3uurs This is a 3 hr radar projection from the Netherlands rain radar and shows a large area of organised activity developing just off Ostend and the Hook of Holland that appears to be heading in our general direction as the winds start to veer more Easterly - the potential for some significant accumulations from that later this evening!

Was surprised at the lack of N.Sea convection (and hence poor looking upstream shower generation for Yorkshire) for such a cold airmass so had a quick look at the 06z runs and surprised myself! I had assumed that we were in the sub 510 dm air already but the charts indicate that this air isn't actually here yet. It is due to move in between 1500 and 1800 this PM and then hang around until tomorrow evening so this period seems by far the most likely for heavy shower generation for our area. I'd be amazed if everybody doesn't have a decent covering by tomorrow morning at the latest!

Finally, sleet has turned to snow - Shame it took so long!!

Where in Huddersfield are you? Nothing but sleet here and we're only a little lower than you in altitude.

Pure lottery whether you get snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail, graupel or the kitchen sink tonight - very strange front this one, entirely down to the override of warmer uppers. Makes for an interesting night of lampoost watching though as don't know what to expect next. Agree with Pennine Ten Foot Drifts - this is a very odd evening.

Can confirm that lower down here on the other side of Huddersfield it is sleeting and has been for a while. The warmer air from the SW has certainly made it into these parts and if it's not snowing up on Scapegoat there is no chance of it snowing here.

0.3C and sleeting. Some larger flakes within but no chance of adding to current accumulations - interested to know what it's like on the higher parts round here but agree that extent of snowfall this evening appears to have been overestimated for all but highest ground and points East. Sleeting now in Manchester too according to 1920 obs.

Temp 0.9C DP 0C and a slight thaw on-going with a little bit of slizzle (sleety drizzle!). If skies clear before morning to allow a re-freeze it will be very icy out there. Certainly need to lose the draw of N Sea clag that is keeping the temps from falling.

A few taken in the garden this morning. Measured depth of 21 cm - current temp -1.2C. Nearly lost our dog in it!

Looks from latest 5 min radar captures that the front is pivoting and pushing activity back to the south below Derby and Nottingham indicating that the development over the Wash should track WNW along the front and should hit somewhere between Sheffield and my area. Lots more development likely too in this situation so many more hours of (at least) moderate snowfall to come I think.

Moderate snow for last hour or so. Temp been stuck at 0.1C DP -1C all evening but accumulating on top of existing 8cm cover nicely and starting to drift again with lots more bright echoes upwind. Can't see the kids' school being open if this carries on.

Had to reply to this as just this very minute had similar bet with my 2 - also for a tenner each! One of them has exam tomorrow and is desperate for school to be shut to allow an extra day's revision. I am pretty confident they will be on the losing end of this. Current temp 0.1C (DP -3C) and light snow started already ahead of the main band to add to 8 cm already laying so looking good.

I think the poster is attempting to state that this is all down to AGW when, more probably, all that has happened is that the Hudson Bay area has had predominantly SW winds throughout much of November (caused by the large upper trough over the eastern seaboard and the upper high over Greenland dragging the air up from the south - without that Europe wouldn't have had the intense cold on this side of the Atlantic caused by the compensatory N/E/NE flow). The attached link explains the current position of the freeze-up in Hudson Bay and indicates that it will be around 2 - 3 weeks behind by mid-December - but then what else would one expect when air is being dragged up from a warm source? It's called synoptics - those same synoptics that caused the polar ice minima in 2007, which incidentally has been recovering ever since and is still above 2007 levels despite the recent unfavourable synoptics for this important (by that meaning relatively large) area. To try and link this to something more sinister betrays entrenched beliefs, rather than an objective interpretation of the large -scale synoptic N. Hemisphere pattern - doesn't it? http://ice-glaces.ec.gc.ca/prods/FECN15CWIS/20101116000000_FECN15CWIS_0005295169.txt
