Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 10

[Lukey]

well, all of our snow from yesterday quickly melted away, but i woke up at about 8am and it was snowing but very wet...within an hour it started settling!.. its very heavy snow now

[ian34]

will wigan get anything out of this ????

[gornaldo]

will it hit Yorkshire????

[dodge]

Well I'm not holding out too much hope for any decent snowfall amounts here. It's making very slow progress and we all know what that means for people to the north. It will be like after the lord mayors show, and it will probably fragment to the extent that there won't be much left in it when it does turn up in the North West.

Also although there was a frost this morning, it wasn't an hard frost, and it was a lot easier to scrape off the car windscreen. That suggests to the me that milder weather is on the way.

For Northern England rain and snow is likely to move north later today, but the chances are it will be mostly of rain over lower ground as temperatures will be a bit higher then, with the snow restricted to the hills. However, some transitory snow cannot be ruled out.

[Noctilucid]

Still got snow on the ground from yesterday morning, and more on the way by the looks of things.

[wallopweather]

temp 1 dew point 0 windchill -4 rain.

Oh well guess as the forecast for us was for rain I should just be happy it snowed yesterday, just a shame that last weekend we were in Abbergavenny for three days and it was gloriously sunny with no snow on the Brecons, if only we had booked for a week later.....

[Hilton]

Snowing again in Reading, very unexpected! Temperature 1.4, dewpoint -0.4

[skidders]

It's been snowing all morning here in North Bristol. I'm at about 80 metres and it's snow, down in the centre it's just sleet. Looking at the precip coming our way, it could be an interesting morning. Certainly way more snow than was forcast!

[snowmadchrisuk]

if you keep going back a few hours on the meto radar and watch the ppn it is moving northwards and eastwards. It's just it appears to be snowing it self out, so think east midlands and even lincolnshire will get it. it is just likely to be quite light snow here with no heavy downpours so probably means less chance of accumalations. The only thing that is bugging me with this whole cold/warm air mix which is even more present today as the 2 air masses meet it may pep up the ppn a little bit with all the extra moisture that will become available.

Worth highlighting that temps are slow to rise this morning across the midlands with many locations still at 0C. I don't expect these to rise much during the day mainly because we haven't changed the airmass yet and more importantly cloud cover will restrict this.

[Greyowl]

I liked the nice touch at the end of your snow video TEITS. Good one.

[Spies]

That ppn looks like it's moving more northwards than eastwards, what are the chances that cumbria gets any snow today?

Well, I'm not so sure, looking at the radar this front has moved about fifty miles northwards in two hours, and its northern extent is now into Cheshire. Added to that it seems to be pepping up. As such I'd be surprised if the Manchester area and Western Pennines didn't see something reasonable out of this in terms of precipitation. The big question will be what will fall - rain, sleet or snow ????

[Teesdale]

Everton Fox R5 live now talking of up to 30cm 12" snow in worst effect areas such as Wales. Snow more extensive and heavier than previously thought

Indeed, temperature hasn't moved since about 7:30am this morning. Still 0c.

Hello Teits, are you expecting any of this latest to reach you? I'm pretty much at a lose end today and don't mind a trip up the A1 for a little more snow.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Here on the Tyne & Wear coast I'm getting a mix of sun and wintry showers, and a temp' of about 3C. It isn't quite as warm as it was the last time the wind picked up off the sea; nonetheless, the dusting of hail we had has melted.

The potential for today & tomorrow seems to have upgraded if I'm reading the GFS correctly.

[tom_f123]
