Interesting times ahead mate and hopefully a covering of snow in the next few days

Enjoy the Sherry , tonights GFS (18hrs) goes of on a tangeant slightly by sinking the GH (i know how dare it ), leaving us all in a cold high, not sure this is the right evolution as sometime during the middle of the month i would fully expect a SH to develope around the Norwegian area esp around the huge snowfields, maybe it isn't far from the mark but a slightly northern emphasis on the high at least.

I would ignore the GFS 18z, far to progressive. In the meantime we should focus on the snow risk for the end of the week into the weekend!

No, nothing here mate, just a load of cloud

[Schnee]

I couldn't help but feel envious when I saw the tops of Hudersfield on the local news....

I've been fighting with youtube videos which won't play on uploading them, for the last 5 hours and have not checked the weather. It came as a surprise as I thought everywhere had rain.

Yep,

And i'm not worried about any marginal episodes after just having hail and also snow with some big flakes thrown in, temps 4c with a dew of 1.3c and it still snowed, not rain

I'm going to bed, need some sleep tomorrows a busy day..

I'll take a look at the runs tomoz etc and make a post on the output, with my home made charts, depth estimations etc.

Goodnight Yorkshire/Lincs

i was in fridaythorpe in the yorkshire wolds at around 10pm and there was a 5 minute heavy snow shower but it fell as rain in york.

[turna]

morning all, wonder what this pm and evening will bring. looking good tbh

[sparky1972]

still no mention of anything wintry for here on the bbc, but metcheck , theweatheroutlook and here say there is a chance of snow later today.

[Jeremy Shockey]

morning all ......mostly bright and cold here at the moment ....temp 2 c

PS ( is it possible to measure the Dew Point without a weather station ....do i need to know the relative humidity ? )

[disco-barry]

BBC on the TV have said snow showers today pushing further inland and extending southwards to lincolnshire and the SE tomorrow, And a narrow band of snow passing through tomorrow with plenty more showers right across the north.

So they have mentioned it, Ignore the internet forecasts they really aren't that accurate.

[sparky1972]

not quite sure what forecast i was looking at because as you say bbc have said that snow showers will be accross us.

[sunny scunny]

It looks like any snow showers will be right on the coast tonight and tomorrow.ahh well maybe next time

Are you going by the gfs precipitation charts by any chance?

Yes. There usually pretty acurate in the short term.I'd feel a lot more confident about tonight if the GFS was showing snow further inland.

I think UKMO fax charts, and radar watching is in order now. The 06Z shows a more northerly flow, which i think is wrong, due to the way it handles the LP.

12z, will be back in order i think
