Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[Lewis]

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?

It appears to be slowly grinding to an halt whilst loosing intensity on its N and western edge, with the Southern edge near us intensifying, and forming a squal line type. I can't get a picture now because it's too dark, my camera is only a Panasonic lumix, cracking camera but not good with clouds at night, but there is a wall cloud formation to the NE of me.

Should be snowing heavily here soon.

As for when will it snow in N lincs, good question. Earlier it looked like i was gunna see nothing and stay dry, so it's a case of radar watching, but tbh even to the gfs shows many more showers pushing inland this evening and into tonight, i just cannot see where it's going to come form, unless it stalls over us and keep pepping up and has a stream like effect over the humber.

Thanks for the detailed explanation mate, I guess time will tell. I bet we will have a better picture in about an hour.

the humber could help with tonights snow

[grab my graupel]

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

Indeed mate, we're lucky enough to be witnessing something very special

[Craigers]

if this happened then id be SO EXCITED, just got to wait for the agreement if so

[Lewis]

Don't worry about Yep Within the hour we should have a better idea.

I hope so mate, i have seen weirder things happen.

The wind is a ESE, which is perfecto.

12z is stunning, snowy north easterly followed by snow easterly then perhaps followed by a snowy reload from the north GFS does its normal trick of shoving a big low in at the end of the run though But a very cold and quite snowy first half of the month

mate this is what i have always dreamt of for our areas!!! that would seriously grind yorkshire+lincs to a halt!

[Lewis]

Just started snowing lightly here now

Hopefully more to come, and looking good for a good hour fingers crossed.

Don't forget poor old Derbyshire

Looking very good for all our areas, would certainly see a bit of snow if the current runs came off

Well looking at rain today it has now mainly changed to rain / best sleet for me

Nothing as yet though.

[Lewis]

Blimey theres some warmer temps in this band.

from -1 temp and -2.4 dew, it has risen to 1.1c temp and -0.3 dew. Hope the heavier precip hits soon, otherwise it may fall as rain.

Still snowing as i type (lightly)

christ not again,im getting marginal from the NW and now im geting marginal from the NE.

i thought the colder 850's were digging in today,i really was not expecting marginal this afternoon.

[Muffelchen]

Disappointingly it seems to be sleet here DP is -1.3 but the temp has risen to 0.4°C in the last couple of minutes, it was at freezing when sleet started.

Looks like more of the same old, same old to me.....

looks like the sea again doing the damage,it was the irish sea this morning and its the north sea this time lol

think im guna watch the ssts more closely in future they play a really big part in what we get!

[Harsh Climate]

Dont worry people in the east, you should get colder quicker than us in the west. Much colder air should start pushing in from the north east soon with sleet turning to snow, especially the heavier it is

What a mixed bag! Started the day at -4C. Started with sleet at around 14.00 which quickly turned to rain and washed away most of yesterdays laying snow. Temp then was 2.2C.

Now light snow with a temp of 1.6C and a dew point of 0.4C. Ground soaked though so it's gonna have to pep up significantly for anything to settle.

[Cheese Rice]

Temps are really dropping, when the PPN arrived the temp was 1.4c now the temp is 0.1c with a dew of -0.4c.

Anyway this is the best snow I have ever seen, the fresh snow on the ground is extremely wet, which most probably don't like but I could easily make a 6ft high snowman with just the 1cm covering we have, the snow is really good for snow ball's etc.

The band is building a lot in the north sea.
