Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[Jeremy Shockey]

John don't get involved I for one do try and read all and learn as time goes on but also dislike people who post every 5 mins thinking they Know everything as we all know they are getting a bit excited because of a small or large amount of snow

Stick with us John

Don't lose faith some of us do try and learn and listen........

Ian

i completely agree . John is the best thing about Netweather.

[Just Before Dawn]

Well considering last night started at like -2c and rose through the evening - waking up to no frost. Tonight's temperature is tropical.

It's certainly in no way out-of-the-ordinary for a december overnight period. Perhaps intermittant cloud cover is taking the edge off - I also suspect North Sea SSTs having a moderating influence, at least in my location.

Can't see the moon must be around the other side - seems to be a bright sky, is it a full moon tonight?

i completely agree . John is the best thing about Netweather.

I agree too, his forecasts are fantastic and his general all round experience is fantastic, i always read his blog, just wish sometimes he would communicate a little better with me instead of putting his slipper round my lughole. I suppose he's just trying to check us young'uns in line.

You forgot another very important person though, "Paul" without him net-weather would not be what it is now.

I want to apologize if i came across as "arrogant" tonight, i have been called fat, and a**hole the lot tonight, but i really didn't think i was annoying peeps that much.

If you want me to shut up and stop posting i will do it, if i really am spoiling the thread as someone posted earlier. I get excited a lot i admit.

I don't think that's necessary Lewis - I like your enthusiasm, it's a counterweight to natural pessimists like myself, and who hasn't gone a touch ott on a messageboard like this from time to time - I know I have.

Perhaps a pm to John will straighten it all out? The ideal thread will have you both contributing.

Just had a quick look at the 18z (been watching City getting smacked by Spurs tonight - not in a good mood) and it doesn't look bad for our location does it? A potential improvement in ppn terms for Tomorrow at any rate - looks quite lively for higher ground too - somewhere like the Yorkshire Wolds might see some decent drifting too, once the snow starts to settle.

Thanks JBD,

I sent John a private message about 20 mins ago, but no reply as of yet, i think he may have gone to bed, as it's going to be a busy day tomorrow for everyone, especially the mods and forecast team.

Temperatures are now falling away nicely. Currently 3.1C here with a dewpoint of 1.1C. The -5C 850hPa isotherm will be passing over right about now, with the first showers appearing to the North.

The best chance of heavy snow is still Saturday afternoon/evening as that band of precipitation arrives from the North. There will be shower activity tomorrow, but with low pressure sitting over Northern France, south-eastern areas were always going to be more in the firing line. Thats not to say our area wont recieve snow - indeed, Id be very suprised if there wasnt a covering. The tighter isobars around the small feature over France means showers should penetrate further inland.

Yeah, I'm at work tomorrow, so I should be hitting the sack, yet here I am......

It always does this to me, Winter.

Weather Station now reading just over 3c, so that's come down a fair bit in the last hour or so. Largely as a result of the sky clearing I think. Radar showing a little light ppn well out over the north sea at the moment that may come onshore around 2:30-3am, so hopefully by that time temps will have dropped away enough for a little light snow.

Ha! Reef is slightly quicker to the draw!

[Winter Warmer]

wonder if my part of doncaster will see some good snow

[Lewis]

I would say you will see some snow showers today around 5-9pm and then early hours of Friday giving a covering, and then i think Saturday your in a perfect position for some heavy prolonged snow pushing S from the North.

Lewis

Time for me to hit the deck, come sun rise it's going to be busy from the word go!

Good night Net-Weather

[Winter Warmer]
