Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[reef]

Don't know where you was Dec 2005 then, when i was staying out at leven/catwick area then at the miss's we had drifts upto 1 and half feet with a good feet of snow level, cant you remember when the -10 850's where over us as a heavy area of precip came from the west?

I'm not arguing with you Reef, if you read my messages clearly i said 2 inches quite widely with DRIFTS of almost 3 inches especially in my garden.

And Reef, i did get banned lol... trust me

It was pretty good powder snow and there were some significant drifts (the A1079 road from Beverley to Market Weighton was ridiculously bad). However, with regards to level snow it was barely a couple of inches in lowland Hull/Holderness. The band that arrived later was also mostly just wet snow that didnt really accumulate at low levels. It was also pretty weak by the time it got here.

hope so! even if i get 4cm from this id be sooooo happy! all i want is a nice blanket that will last into xmas

whats your temp btw? its 1c here

Not sure mate, still need to buy a tehermometer. its 0C at leeds n bradford airport which is only 1/2 miles away from me.

looking at the latest radar we are very close to getting heavy snow showers.

if they reach sheffield they should reach here

Just been standing outside looking west towards the pennines, you can see really beefy looking showers and as they move east they are simply vanishing. Not looking good for sheffield atm

Hmmmm, think the showers could make it across the pennines, but they do seem to be losing intensity quite quickly as they do so.

[sparky1972]

well time for a break from all this snow watching, forecast for the week is chilly and frosty but no more snow so i guess i better get back to the real world.

[swfc]

you think they will get to west doncaster?

[Andy_Calafell_Sheffield]

It looks like it could mate, maybe losing abit of its intensity, but the showers look to be travelling straight east to west, so should hit you roughly bang on.

its a weird setup because they hook down from the NW then travel straight west to east! channeling it all towards sheffield and doncaster

[The PIT]

Well the showers have suddenly gained in strengh in the last hour or so. Now snowing heavily and it looks like it'll last a little while.

just got back from my shopping trip and it's a whiteout huge huge flakes
