Snow Watch: N&W Yorks, Northern & North East England

[paul tall]

Current temperature -0.1º, dew point -3.1º. Cover of snow, probably about 0.5cm.

BIG NEWS GUYS - 3 gritters been past earlier, and finally after waiting long the snow has finally settled on the roads, i live on a busy main road so this will more than likely mean wide spread disruption across yorkshire tmrw morning!! This is a big-ish deal because i must have 3layers of grit now and yet it has still settled!

[skywatcher]

Incredible. At least 2 inches of snow on my balcony...difficult to tell true depth because winds have got up and there's some drifting. Roundhay area.

[grab my graupel]

Having an all nighter then Brian?

Looks like the first proper shower cloud can be seen and it looks like it just going 2 miss me(typically) but i suspect Nigel(stormchaser1) could well get hit by this shower.

Snow is falling now, proper flakes but i am on the edge of this shower, it is certainly heading into Nigel's area though now so if you online, have a look out your window in th next few mins.

Hi Paul, I'm not sure yet mate, I'm very tempted though, since these sort of events

don't happen very often.

Are you staying up?

Snowing here now, smallish flakes but heavy none the less.

This weather is definitely gonna cause problems tomorrow.

I have to take the car to Randersons at Horsforth in the morning. Gonna be interesting to say the least...

I would say about 3-4cm which is the amount over here, on roads and paths etc

Showers should get going more readily in our region from about midnight onwards; as the mesoscale trough gradually edges in.

Very minute dusting out there at the moment.

If you're looking for more info on the snow situation tonight and into tomorrow, NW forecaster Nick F has just posted a blog up about it:

The showers now are much heavier than before, looking at my new NW radar it seems that the greens and purples have begun to appear! This bodes very well for the night to come; they are traveling on a ENE-E axis bringing them right inland to the Pennines. 10cm now possible in many areas of Yorkshire by the morning, especially E of York.

[Geordiesnow]

Wow, the snow is really coming down now got a thin covering, flakes are not the biggest but it looks heavy when the wind swirls around.

Stopping now it would appear though.

Well i'm guarding my Dales cave so he'll have to find his own.......the snow's eased here for the moment but that was an impressive shower!

Nothing impressive here so far.

Mostly just sporadic convection ebbing through at the moment across the region; with the odd heavy cell. More organised bands probably expected later but for all my luck I'll be either too far north, south, east or west LOL.

I would urge everyone to check out tonights 18z gfs,one of the best runs ever. :blush:

A thin covering of snow here now after just one proper shower with associated rattle of thunder. :lol:

Same here, got quite a clear slot now so the temps should at least drop a little bit, sadly the snow on the ground is melting away but settled nicely on the grass and the cars.

The good news is that the cloud images are showing the uniform type of cloud breaking up even more in the north sea now so plenty more convective showers to come hopefully and these should last into tomorrow afternoon.

Hi Yeti, I'll be around mate.

It seems to have stopped snowing here, but I know that if I go to bed, we'll get pasted while I'm asleep.

5cm of snow here !!! Truly great, perhaps 15cm of snow by morning!!

[snow_mad_09]

Just been watching Match of the day, no snow on the ground before hand, now there is a covering , missed the first one .

[snowmackem]

Well, the North East has finally joined the party !!!

Heavy snow started here about 5 mins ago and road already covered. Looks like fun in the morning, I live in Ryton and work in South Shields, an 18 mile journey that normally takes about 45 mins in the rush hour. If I leave at 8-00 tomorrow I might get to work by lunchtime.
