Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[disco-barry]

Incredible snow around here, a stark differance from Slaithwaite Village to the tops towards Scapegoat hill.

I'll be posting a link soon with photos from this afternoon on Flikr.

[Harsh Climate]

Yeah, we have a dusting up here, but the snow is very light.

Ye, hopefully the heavier stuff should arrive in th next 20 minutes or so.

Temperature now 1.1C and with heavier precipitation the drop should be accelerated

[grab my graupel]

Still snowing but not so heavy. It's been a very welcome top-up though

[stevied]

light flakes here [by looking at the lamppost!]

getting heavier

On the plus side for those eastern areas that may miss out is that the current 12z gfs run shows more shower activity from later tonight through to Monday morning.I stopped then due the unreliability getting too high.

I agree partly, although we might if we are lucky get something out of this. The two bands currently over the sea near Hornsea seem to be getting a little larger so you never know.

Ive still got some snow cover and i won't be fussed if nothing happens tonight.Maybe a few late nights next week though

[Harsh Climate]

Just a heads up for tue/wed, things could get especially nasty!

As the winds turn more NE/NEE, the showers should pile inland with places like leeds,lincoln,york getting hammered! almost anywhere could get hammered

Edit: I think you can add Thu to that 2!

Agree although nothings certain just by looking at the 850 charts.

Made me laugh out of all the precip charts u chose the one with leeds with the heavier precip lol!

[sunny scunny]

OMG the gfs 12z is a big upgrade from the 6z

[Lakes Tom]

Light rain/sleet Leeds city centre now

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

The temperatue is below freezing here now. Washed the car earlier on and the bubbles have now turned to ice!! Still doubful over the snow prospects here though. The meteox site is hopeful for areas around here as its predicted radar for 8 tonight has something over us, the most remains in the west of the region though, so good news for those in Leeds/Sheff

[Lewis]

Looking good for Hull soon precip heading towards me and intensifying, fingers crossed i get a nice 1-2cm covering before more showers push in later.

temp -1

dew -2.3

Lewis

Edit: Put my showers instead of more lol!

haha, its got to be done

I would be very suprised is there was no heavy snow tue/thu though. with cold -10 uppers crossing the north sea in more of a NEE flow, Heavy snowfall as history would tell is 99.9% guaranteed in that set-up..

[gobbyash]

Just got back from a trip to Whitby.

Pretty dicey on way back between Whitby & Scarborough over the top as the traffic was at a standstill for long periods and many vehicles were turning round.

5 hour round journey inc. 1 hour in Whitby for fish and chips

What do you think North Lics chances are Buddy? Pleased you got your weather staion fixed. My weather girl barometer had a fit a few weeks back the high outside peeked at 63 degrees c, a new world record I might add!! Back on topic, when will the showers arrive?

Don't worry, you are under very light PPN that broke of ahead of the front, so to be getting sleet is a good sign because when slightly heavier PPN comes in it will fall as snow. The temps are dropping in the center so not long to go.

[Craigers]

OMG the gfs 12z is a big upgrade from the 6z

that could well give a proper yorkshire snow event

Snowing moderately in York now

[Grimsby Snow Lover]
