Snow Watch: East Mids, Lincs And S & E Yorks (inc. Humberside)

[andy_leics22]

This is UNREAL, just had 20 minutes of heavy snow grains, cars white, grass white and looking at the radar this is just the starter!!!!!

[Just Before Dawn]

Heavy snow falling in Louth - starting to cover cars, grass etc.

[Craigers]

im in the gap for the stream of showers, hopefully the humber streamer will kick off soon, wind is picking up, battering my window!!!!!!

[harribo]

Light grains here, trying its hardest though!!

[pottyprof]

Had a few flurries on and off since about 11am.. Seems to be getting more frequent...

[butler_son]

Everything seems to have quietened down in Nottingham...if anything, it's getting a bit brighter here, worrying.

[reef]

All we've had here so far is the odd few light snow grains in the air.

The upper air is very cold as the humidity is just 63%, but the ground temperature is 3.2C, so too warm still.

Persistent heavy shower here as well although not enough for a covering just yet, radar looks as though a "wash streamer" is setting up

[Polar Low]

A good dusting here now with the snow still coming down, very good prospects for the next 96-120 hours or so.

[Craigers]

showers being in clusters now inline with the humber, so scunny and donny, here we come

[andy_leics22]

Just posted this on the Midlands thread, i'll post it on here too, the latest radar from N-W...

The showers should go in the lines I drew.

Well here in Lincolnshire I've no idea what the ground temperature is, but its snow lightly atm and every flake it sticking easily sir.

[Polar Low]

It's go so dark here now, absolutely throwing it down. Approaching a covering now... will get pictures up within the hour.

Would be bitterly disappointed if I didn't see 15cm's here by the end of the cold snap.

Im using that raintoday radar which gets updated every 15mins.

The temp is still 3c here so it's needs to drop a little bit.

Still not a flake, nothing, i think you are all making it up.

[Polar Low]

So close to "blizzard like" conditions here, accumilating very nicely... just getting heavier!

I agree - I'm not all that far away and almost nothing has really fallen, but it has suddenly got darker as if someone's hit a lightswitch!

And the snow is starting to reacquaint itself with Nottingham now!

Really, not even now?

It's snowing quite heavily in Bracebridge Heath at the moment.

[pottyprof]

Just an update to the current situation..

Looking good.. :lol:

[leftypw]

Light snow in York, have had snow showers from 11am today.

temp 2.7c

[Craigers]

Just an update to the current situation..

Looking good.. :lol:

we should do soo well! with our area sitting in the middle, the snow will settle better, im guess sheffield could see 20cm with doncaster having 15cm!

look at the radar and you can clearly see snow fall to the north east of Nottingham-namely Newark way. Should make it here a a lighter version and then maybe begin to give Nottingham a covering much earlier than expected!

I can't recall one occassion in my near 18 years of life where Newark has been probably the most favoured location in the entire UK for intensity and frequency of snowfall this afternoon. I'm gunna enjoy it while it lasts.
