Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[sunny scunny]

is there more showers later?

I haven't seen the forecast mate, but going by the radar i would say most of the showers will be to our NE as they are now.

We could catch a few at some point though

[Cheese Rice]

2cm has fallen so far tonight, that brings my total to 22cm of snow.

[stevied]

Cars cleared of snow a few hours hours ago are now covered again [ nowt special though!]

Looks like early morning listening to radio leeds for school closures again!

[Cheese Rice]

It's great isn't it? I must get the camera batteries on charge tonight

Looks like the showers have formed a more organised band, the western extent has gone light but the eastern area (over you) has gotten heavier and formed a more organised band moving from east to west.

I'm keeping an eye on that to see if it makes it to Leeds...

You know, I did have a thought that this band could merge with the main band down south and just explode in widespread snow but that's just me being stupid

[Gray-Wolf]

Is it just me or is the stuff coming in over Newcastle way now starting to turn more NNE from a NE earlier? They have some beefy showers up there!

Also, the METO sat. shows a shield of cloud behind the 'arc' of showers.

Is this a bank of stratoform cloud/fog and will it Kybosh convection over the area it covers??

EDIT: You can really see the impact of Londons 'heat island' as the snow drops into sleet .Quite a little ring of yeuch eh?

Looks like I'm going to hit that gap and It will be over soon; However, with more snow forecast for tomorrow, it could become quite difficult to get about around here.

[Cheese Rice]

Snowing here again, nice big flakes which is way better than the little flakes.

Don't you love how light it is outside.

Yeah, I think you're right. I was thinking about calling it a night, but I've changed my mind now

I wish roads were white

Looks so pretty at night when you're away from any lighting.

Also like to point out that there's more deep red appearing on the ppn heading this way.

Don't get me excited .

The left lane of the road is covered but the right lane isn't, Im guessing as this road was one way most of the day most of the grit is on there.

[Cheese Rice]

Been snowing here for last 30-40 minutes, light and moderate snow, verging on heavy right now, the car that was wiped earlier is now covered in snow, I'm guessing 3-4cm has fallen so far .

Edited January 6, 2010 by 10123

[grab my graupel]

Nothing here for the last 45mins, but the radar is looking interesting again

[Cheese Rice]

Looks like 4-5cm has fallen, that should put my overall depth to 27cm ! Would love to stay up as more lines of showers are heading this way but I can't as I'm up at 6am.

[Markburgess7]

Evening all

Its snowing quite steadily for the last couple of hours, normally miss out on all the fun being right on the east coast (cleethorpes) a few cms now, hoping it does turn to rain and gone by the morning, thats whats happens normally.

[stumathers]

Moderate snow here in Sheffield from the streamer.

[lizziek]

Woken by my 6 week old son for a feed at 2.30am and was disappointed at what sounded like rain but on closer inspection by the hubby it turns out it's snow! Have a new covering which looks like at least in inch - measure in the morning- and now there's more. Here's hoping hubby's school is closed again tomorrow :o

[grab my graupel]

Looking at the radar, there appears to be a large gap now, so that should be it for a while.

More on the way later in the day, so another good day of lampost/radar watching ahead :o

Just had the time of my life on the Leeds Outer Ring Road to and from the airport. I would gess a further 3/4" fell between my outward journey and return 2am to 3.15am. Had the whole ring road to myself, virtually. With whiteout conditions through Horsforth to Adel. And it was an essential journey, too!

[Richard Lake]

Not very well atm and been struggling to sleep so I just gotta out bed to make myself a cup of chocolate and peered outside. Well well well, looks like we've done quite nicely overnight and it still continues to snow moderately outside.

Looking at the garden bench I would say its 6-8cm deep. Its nice to see the path 'becoming' the road so the two can't be told apart.
