The heavier stuff has arrived here now, decent size flakes aswell, wonder how long it will last? I'll be looking on the 12Z and see where that mild sector is, this set up will get alot more marginal as the afternoon goes on.
Ah well I did wonder when looking at the great looking radar if there was a catch. Stay away pesky mild sector!
3cm of snow here
-
Plain old rain here, although down here on the coast we weren't expecting anything more from this.
-
I'm a bit behind the times here but I though I'd report on last nights snow here in Scalby, just outside of Scarborough.
Maximum depth on pathways and wall was about 1cm, and the snow lasted a couple of hours and was mostly light, although it became more moderate just before it cleared.
Most of it has thawed during the sunny morning, and some still remains as ice in sheltered areas
-
Really nice outlook from the MetO today
-
3.The longer range outlook is looking less cold, but still obviously time for that to change..
Not really, the ensembles for the GFS have some very cold 850 temps on them...
-
I hope everyone is looking forward to tomorrow night
Looks good for snow almost anywhere up here, and hopefully to low levels as well -
Hi Dave, I hope it does comes of mate, as this cold snap is turning into a huge disappointment imo.
Having seen the GFS today hinting at a return to milder conditions; I'm becoming rather concerned that we might have to wait
some time before we get other chance.
In terms of snowfall, I'm beginning to feel that this is turning out to be just another ordinary winter, for many, in our region
It has been unusually poor for many Yorkshire areas excluding higher pennine areas. N and E Yorkshire in particular have had a very thin skeriff of the snow cake so far in 2009.
Lets hope Sunday comes off, although to be honest I feel we will miss out on the coast here
Must stay positive! I'm sure our time will come

I await being amazed and astonished, but I have to say that I continue to think that this is being overplayed a tad up here. Paul Hudson isn't the most objective forecaster in these circumstances, but I think even he was guilty of potential excess suggesting that we might get another foot tonight. It's been snowing here since around 4pm, but my observation is that the snow is more persistent than intense. At times last night, albeit briefly, the intensity got up to around 30 on my cursory scale: I think I've known it get above that on two or three occasions at most. Right now, and for the past hour, it's been hovering around 4-5, no more than light-moderate. What's there is very dry, so it's getting blown around into some sizeable drifts, and I came within a very few minutes of not being able to get up the hill out of town - as it was the ASC nearly burned the clutch out - or back up the track.
There's going to have to be a pretty big development in the flow for us to get a foot of level snow.
Agreed :lol:
Barring any big surprises (covering myself here), I think the southern pennines could get another 15-20cm, with the north pennines not far behind on 10-15cms of snow.
East of the pennines the totals start to drop, up to 5cms if your lucky. Coastal areas sleet and rain so no cover.
-
I'd also like to know what members on the coast further north think about their chances (up Newcastle/Sunderland/Middlesboro' way) later tonight.
I'm too low here I think for anything significant, but people seem oddly optimistic here!
-
Yes but I'm expecting that it will be sleet/rain so no further accumulations for me.
If I'm proved wrong then fantastic, but I can't see it atm.
Me neither. Most of our paltry 1cm cover has gone now and it has been a mixture of sleet and rain since around 4pm. Like you say, fantastic if something happens later on tonight into Tuesday, but if it does I will refer to it as God's miracle!
Take care
-
Sleet/rain reported down the east coast, and Hull, already, which is very disappointing. Poor forecasting it must be said - this easterly has been a huge let down for some NE areas.
-
No its not
I take it the same applies to Scarborough, Andrew? We are forecast our heaviest precipitation between 21:00 and 00:00, but I think it will be predominantly rain by then, right?
Take care
-
The radar looks good for pretty much all of N and NE England for the next few hours. Lets enjoy it :lol:
Take care

About half an hour ago i had to switch computer off, reason being we had THUNDERSNOW, [did anyone else hear this] it was definately thunder because i was outside trying to clear snow from my car, then it started snowing again
nigel
That's great
We had a rumble of thunder last night at about 01:30 in the morning, with a flash of lightning. Very unusual
-
Only a cm here so far, at Scalby (just outside Scarborough). Hoping for more to come in the next few hours

Today's snow gave us our deepest covering of the winter, 7cm
I welcome the mild weather on offer later this weekend but rumour has it the cold may make a return
