Snow Watch: East Midlands, Lincs And S & E Yorkshire

[Craigers]

Does anyone know what the heck has happened? The GFS predicted this band of PPN to come straight down the centre of England, instead it's moved way out into the North Sea and just clipping the North East coasts. It looks like it will miss Leicester but the BBC predicted 2-5cm for us this evening. That band of precip has fooled the models and the forecasters lol.

still ment to be though with the local forecast, so wait and see and check radar at 5pm, its confusing me loads, sayin its gone lighter here but its thicker flakes and now GETTIN HEAVIER

No consistency here at the minute, just when you think it is getting going, the next minute it's back to light snow .

Edit- pepping up again???

Well confused lol. The radar said that we have had light PPN over us since 2pm, what has happened? Notthing! No light rain, no drizzle, no light snow lol.

Hehe but for Doncaster the heaviest of the PPN is just North of you and moving towards you now.. in Leicester the Heaviest PPN is moving East of us and we are getting light bits that aren't even falling out of the sky lol. The GFS is wrong aswell cos at this time it shows the heaviest right over Central England, like Central Yorkshire, Pennines etc... instead the bulk of it is half in the North Sea and half over East Yorkshire. So it's 100 miles further East than the models said it would be :lol:

Good news for people in Lincolnshire though, so this shift of PPN to the East has been good news for them Not so good for me! Gahhh

[Hurricane Andrew]

when im confused and hope nowcasting then yeah, sorry

lol it was a joke, you make me laugh actually.

But yeh, western flank will intensify around about now or around 6-7pm. If you look at the radar now u can see its starting to happen

if there was wind then it could of been a white out

[tugster31]

Still coming down in spalding lincs, roads look ok but all other ground is white over.

[Arnie22]

becoming quite heavy now - roads starting to cover and looks well set in

[sunny scunny]

Scunny is a whiteout :lol: B)

Radar is looking good aswell for more

[Crimson_Sprite]

:lol: B) Woo-HOO!!!!!! I too, have prayed to the weather gods, and not a lie, within 30 seconds it started to SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!! It might be a little sleety, but there is still white stuff in that mix!!! YEEE-HAAAWWWWW!!!!! Come on snow- don't fail me now!!!!!!

[reef]

Where on earth did this come from! I must say this event completely passed me by when looking at the models. It looks like quite a large area of precipitation aswell, so there could be some good totals from this.

Currently 0.9C with moderate/heavy snow and a good dusting on grass and cars. Its a little bit wet to lay on the roads yet, but as it gets heavier this should improve.

On night shift again so should be able to watch this

[Craigers]

looking real good now, getting heavier on the west side of the band
