Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[Schnee]

My car has thawed out and cleaned itself after the dusting on Friday. Quite pleased at that as I don't need to wash it....

It's cloudy and feels cold here. My thermometer says 4ºc so realistic temps are probably around 2ºc.

Remember, there is the rest of January, all of February and March for possible further cold spells. I have high hopes of at least one more snow event from now till spring.

[Harsh Climate]

I have been using This link to see what may be coming this way from the north sea. If its correct then it doesnt look like there is any heavy precip there to come this way. In fact, what does seem to be there looks like its fading away to nothing, a bit like the snow cover here, lol.

cheers thats a pretty usefull radar!

Ye It does look to be fading, but I just feel somat will develope later

Over the past 30 minutes or so the temperature here has begun to lower, not by much but was 3.7 degrees now 2.9 degrees.The dew point has also fallen slightly, now 0.9, was 1 degree at midday. Is there any chance we could see some snow here later on when the main band arrives? Took these yesterday whilst walking the dog.

[Craig in Leeds]

here we go...starting to get the first few flakes....wind is picking up....

wats your temperature n dewpoint?

Still nothing here at the moment. Not having a weather station I tend to use a couple of stations in my area on the wunderground network. Temp around 2.5ºC dew point -1º.

The odd flake blowing around at the moment here

[skywatcher]

Snowing very lightly in Roundhay. No accurate local info about DP and temp.

[Harsh Climate]

Temperature now 1.8C here slowly getting colder again..

[The PIT]

Best described as snizzle round here. Temp dropping but dew point rising. Certainly should be rain lower down and very marginal later.

[Winter Warmer]

no snow no rain just a thaw

[Schnee]

Could be interesting tonight if the warm sector has now started to move on and we are dragging in the proper continetal air.

Keep an eye out after nightfall for updates to the Meto warnings, and the radar.

I could be wrong but something feels strange about today. Could we be in for a surprise snow event? Only time will tell.

[Harsh Climate]

Could we be in for a surprise snow event?

Yes I get that feeling. Between now and 6pm tomorrow is a huge window for something to happen.

[The PIT]

Snizzle stopped and I advise people not to get there hopes up too much.

Noticed a slight change in direction of this light rain snow band and it's gone back to a more north easterly flow rather than east so what little stuff is now passing to the south of us.

Imo i agree, i get the feeling that there wont be a lot, and tbh the temp is thawing some if it now.

Another warning for west yorks for monday now.Just an aside,when the unforecasted snow streamers set in off the irish sea before xmas dropping up to 7" for some,did not here any complaints toward meto.

[Craig in Leeds]

Although I, like most would welcome another top up to replace what has melted today, the precip forecast doesnt look too good. I really can't see where any possible 'event' is going to come from. On the plus side, my son gets to go back to school tomorrow if we don't get much snow and I get a hassle free drive to work in Seacroft on Wednesday.

Thats it, and on tuesday morning we had 4 inches of unforcasted snow.

[Jeremy Shockey]

sleet has stopped......temp has decreased to just 1.5 c now

[Gior Gorkin]

A few flakes starting to fall in Killamarsh

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Steadt sleet here, during the heavier bursts we almost get proper snow, temperature still falling, now down to 2.4 degrees, dew point has increased though. I don't think we will see any more snow for a while at least.

I think hes right, should become interesting later. cya

Overcast with steady light rain and sleet here. Temperatures have fallen but are still just the wrong side of marginal. Currently 2.4C with a dewpoint of 0.1C.

This precipitation is really helping to destroy the snowcover aswell, its becoming increasingly patchy.

[Mark Bayley]

Just been to Creswell crags to see the snow there, seem better than hear. Not wet when you pick it up and a reasonable depth. Been snowing for the past few hours, for the past 40mins its come down quite reasonably with some heavier bursts. Now its light but with good sized flakes. Temp 1.2c with a dew of 0.1c

Edit: Coming down a bit heavier again. It also tried to stick on the bin however i guess it will have melted now. On the plus side its maintaining the current level of snow so i can't complain. Will post some pictures in a bit

[Terminal Moraine]

Snowing steadily here for the last half hour or so, about 1cm of fresh snow. If it snowed at this intensity all night I reckon there's be about another 12cm by morning. We can but hope.

[Cheese Rice]

Max of 1.2c here, with light snowfall on and off when i was in Leeds center. Not much thaw to speak of, apart from the usual places, bins plants etc. The ground temps are lower than the air temps so a thaw on the ground shouldn't be an issue.

About tonight I don't really know what will happen, there could be some surprises, but not the good kind either. As expected the east has a wintry mixture, this should have been expected really, especially if you've been on Net Weather last Feb. Tonight reminds me of Feb 2nd/3rd, we got 10cm of snow from 11 hours of continous light-moderate snowfall, that too was forecast to be heavier (50cm forecast for the hills), that too was downgrade and eastern areas received rain.
