very snowy n windy now

hehehe told you mate! wind picking up here now! im just west of you next to the A1

[Richard Lake]

Radar shows a lot of other areas in land getting rain also so I guess I shouldn't be too upset.

[sunny scunny]

was so wet on roads and everything is ice out there now! after that light ppn!

bloody hell GUST of wind just happend!

It's still coming down very hard here. has it reached you yet?

mate its very weird because here its gone down to 0.7c and light snow has settled

[reef]

We had a short spell of snow here, but it was rain before and after the heaviest precipitation hit so made the ground pretty wet and left a slushy mess.

Not looking forward to it refreezing as it'll be a nightmare getting home from work in the morning.

[Cal]

Mod/Heavy snow falling in a stiff N/Easterly .

Yes its sleety at best here in immingham, shame because the uppers are quite good, hoping next week doesn't dissapoint.

The latest image shows another narrow band of PPN intensifying big time, and it's heading straight for me

Light Snow here now. And it's done what this mornings heavier snow couldn't do. Settle.

The snow this morning settled here. We were on our way home from town at 1100 and I would say the 'settling' height was 300m on Kirkedge road.

yep your going to do best out of this mate! still be moderate as it gets here but not as heavy as where you live!

[Richard Lake]

I think the marginality arises from the fact that most of this convection was formed over this side of the North Sea where SSTs are a tad higher.

Where as the northern areas of the North Sea would appear to have lower SSTs - which would explain why them scattered showers currently coming down are snow-bearing. In other words the convection is over colder seas.

Steady snow S17. minus 1 and whiteover.

[Mark Bayley]

Certainly a slow moving shower! :lol:

Looking forward to the coming few days, especially the easterly and very cold uppers, perfect ingredients for super convective showers and i mean tonnes of snow showers penetrating inland.

I'm 100% sure?? Why , ask me :lol:

loosing intensity as its moving here. ahh wel

imagine the thunder snow

[Richard Lake]

Lewis, why are u 100% sure? :lol:

Whats the precipition like over on the North Bank?

Because the difference in upper 850 temps and SST's are fantastic, the greater difference in Sea surface temps and upper 850 temps the more intense the showers will be and convection is fantastic.

Also the tighter the flow the better, as it means the showers don't loose their intensity as they hit the coast, meaning they will penetrate inland much easier.

And greater chance of snow in coastal locations?

And greater chance of snow in coastal locations?

In this scenario when you get a much tighter flow, such cold upper 850's, nothing marginal at all, you would rather be on the coast than inland, even though inland areas still do very very well.

Thats at the moment, wait until middle of this week and possibly tomorrow night.

[sunny scunny]

I hope it freezes soon as the snow is melting. It's still snowing but only light.
