  1. John Mitchell Paul Hudson jay wyn bbc and mo forecasts! The presence of the high too close so showers v.unlikely. Lets see who wins out.. smile.png

    But fantastic surprise tonight! Nae did show this. More pleeeease. X

    You are probably right mate as apart from Tuesday, snow showers have been very hit and miss and most have stayed out at sea. I did watch Calendar weather though and he said snower showers throughout the whole weekend, Paul Hudson just mentioned snow fluffies. I think the radar might be more useful as has been the case for you guys in Yorkshire this evening.

  2. The same here seems to be just west of me. not moved east on radar at all much. Hope tomorrow the snow gets further east.

    I am sure it will, todays snow in the west was from a very weak feature that developed, tomorrows snow is coming from a much more active front. How far east is gets is open to debate but both ITV and BBC have the snow covering our entire region by tomorrow evening. I also believe due to the strength of the SE wind snow showers could easily develop over the North Sea and spread quite far in land too.

  3. This was a shock for the region wasn't it. It looks like you guys in the west will get a decent covering this evening. I have checked the radar and the front seems to have stalled, I can't see it moving towards the coast if im being honest but the met forecast mentions snow becoming confined to the coast tonight so who knows,

  4. Considering I live 3-4 miles from the North sea I think this mornings -8 was pretty impressive. Just a mile further up the road on the way to work the car temperature dropped to -10. Had no snow melt at all today as temperature has hovered between -3 and -2 al day. Already down to -6 now so I wonder how cold tonight will get?

  5. Snowing again, laying nicely on the road too which had turned really icy before the shower. Nasty driving in the morning!

    Nice one, I think we have had our last shower for a good while now looking at the radar. The areas that had cleared today have a good 2cm covering now, I imagine it will be the same for you now. Looks like we may get some heavy snow showers on Friday if the GFS is to be believed.

  6. A minor thaw here today with nearly the main roads now 80% clear, fields still covered as are most pavements. We have just had a very heavy snow shower that lasted around 20 minutes, must have put down a cm, all areas now white again. If models are correct then areas further west might get their share later this weekdrinks.gif

  7. Annoying that T120 is no longer reliable timeframe, a truly astounding run. Normally I'd say 120 is fairly reliable but at the moment its a complete split and dozens of sypnotic evolutions are being thrown about! Let's hope this evenings ECM goes with the UKMO for the undercut.

    With regards to the 144 chart I know its not likely to happen but surely that's a northern event with rain further south or is there cold air wrapped around it? Difficult to tell

    One thing I would say as well about the GFS is it keeps pushing back the date when the cold air vacates. Good sign?

    To help some of our new members understand the significance of the 12z from the GFS I think it is important to note that what the GFS or any other models are currently showing passed 96hrs is liable for quite SIGNIFICANT changes. The GFS looks very ugly at around the 240hr mark, but lets be honest what are the chances that it will remain like that in future runs when eaven charts 2/3 days out are changing? GP mentioned the other day that the full effects of the SSW haven't kicked in yet so who knows how charts will look 10-14 days in the future.

  8. Looks good. Currently very sunny but temperature starting to drop away already. Dew points are fine also - I always check XC weather for that. I'm very hopeful I have to say that the majority of Yorkshire is in the sweet spot for both these bands. The first I suspect may stall a tad and allow the 2nd to catch up. The gap between the 2 has been shortening progressively on the models. 10cm would be just fine come Monday teatime.

    Ours continues to rise!!! Getting quite concerned now. Dews are pushing 3 degrees according to local weather station (it is is the town centre though)

  9. Sunday 13th January

    YELLOW WARNING for SNOW for England.

    An area of sleet and snow will come eastwards across England during the early morning, probably becoming light and patchy later in the morning as it slows down over eastern areas. However, later in the day it is expected to intensify again, at the same time turning back to rain in places. Through the day there is the risk of 5 cm accumulations in places, and more than that above 200 m. However, there is greater than average uncertainty at this range, especially in the extent to which snow affects southern counties, and it is quite possible that the Alert will be upgraded to an amber Warning if confidence increases.

    The public are advised to monitor the forecast and to be aware of the risk of disruption to travel.

    Valid 0005 to 2355 Monday.

    Sunday 13th January

    YELLOW WARNING for SNOW for northeast England, southeast England, East Anglia and eastern Scotland.

    Showery outbreaks of snow will affect parts of the east on Tuesday, in some places adding a few cm to existing accumulations. Over Scotland and northern England showers will often fall as rain near coasts. Over East Anglia and southeast England, conditions will improve markedly by afternoon. Ice will also be a hazard in these areas.

    The public are advised to be aware of the risk of disruption to transport.

    Valid 0005 to 2355 Tuesday.

    Not overly keen on that statement about showers falling as rain near coasts in northern england on Tuesday, I wonder if we are classed as northern england or eastern england?

    Having seen a truely amazing bbc forecast for cold and snow for this week perhaps things could be better than first thought
