Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[winterof79]

Latest radar looking good the band of sleet/snow is pushing down quite quickly and in the last hour or so seems to have intensified. hopefully it wont die/fragment till it atleast exits south yorkshire

Jed,any thoughts on why no alerts ,even yellow ,for south and west yorkshire.Seems strange to me.

[stevied]

The sky has gone quite dark here.

Heres hoping for a better event for us in leeds/bradford today!!

hows the temps/dews in the region guys? We had about 9cm this morning near oldham but the temps have risen with the band.Might get a bit from that lot pushing down.Is there mild air assosiated with it? hope not.lol

[Lion]

we had a nice covering earlier, gained about 5cm in places. Gone a bit soggy now. Hopefully when the sun sets and the temp drops it will freeze nicley for the pelting we should see later

lol ya spoke too soon >

Outbreaks of sleet or snow will spread southwards through the rest of Saturday and be followed by further snow showers through the evening and into early Sunday. Accumulations of 3 to 6 cm are likely in many parts, with around 10 cm likely in places, chiefly over high ground. Widespread is likely to form on untreated surfaces.

The public are advised to take extra care and refer to the Highways Agency for further advice on road conditions.

thats for all of yorkshire.

[Craigers]

looking like the band will move south as the vectors show south and west to east movement

Really don't know what to make of the front mving down. Sometimes it looks as though it is moving south, other times south east. Will the band hit us in the east as to me it looks like a W/S yorkshire thing.

cheers,thats very marginal then.might drop a bit more before the precip hits you.

anything coming from the north now should be colder anyway.

Cracking timing

[Craigers]

metoffice- "the very cold weather continues with snow showers on Monday, but longer periods of snow during Tuesday and Wednesday. Significant accumulations are likely, as the snow will be occasionally heavy."

You got to admit that does sound quite tasty

well I hope it brings plenty for us, it'll make twisting my ankle on the ice worth it theres about two inch thick of ice on all the pavements up here

Well the weather warning now doesn't include NE lincs, but not that that means alot.

[on the coast]

Rain starting again here. Very windy now. Temp 2.4 Dew 0.7

We have nothing left now and after a couple of short sharp showers of snow yesterday we only had rain earlier today

Took the lights down earlier and it doesn't feel cold enough for us to get that much and also not being that high doesn't help!!!!!

if more showers happen into tomorrow then it could be a late night for many

According to the latest readings at Donna Nook , which isn't too far away from here the temp was 1 with a dew of 0. Hope its at least that here.

Is it me or is the rain/snow band pivotting to the SE?

[sunny scunny]

Hmm,the temps are rising here and im not confident of seeing snow.Im not too fussed about today, as next week looks a lot more interesting

this has to be the weirdest of all! temp is now down to 1.4c! dropping fast!

[Cheese Rice]

Hmmmm, not too confident we will see snow, probably sleet. Temps are too high in lower ground Leeds to support snow, hopefully the temps will drop as the front moves in.

[grab my graupel]

OMG I'm getting pasted again
