Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13

[Cheese Rice]

Temperature are FINALLY sub-zero in Leeds center, so anywhere in Leeds should see lying snow from now on

Been below freezing here for a while now

Current temp -1.1c.

[grab my graupel]

Still falling as sleet here, but it's starting to become heavier and trying to turn to proper snow.

[Snowday]

Heavy snow falling here and has been for the last couple of hours. 2-3cms lying from the looks of it so far.

Brother in east Leeds telling me that the snow is melting there a bit, can only imagine the same will happen here shortly.:unsure:

Its sliding of the cars here but Its to be expected, its really wet snow. And what falls of is readily replaced.

We look to be around 5cm and with that amount on slanted surfaces it'll fall of.

If you ever been in one of those winter US storms we here about the same happens there.

................

Anyway temp holding steady at -1.1c. Snow went light earlier, now back to moderate. Band looks to building on the back-edge, how long the snow lasts is unknown. I'm certain I'tll be snow throughout but the band is either stalling or not.

Sorry for been on overload posting this morning. Theres nothing to do this early in the morning! In hindsight I wish I hadn't of gotten up so early to see the snow.

Heavy snow here in Sheffield. Secretly hoping my football match is called off! It's too cold

[ezman]

Snow still falling moderately in north Leeds and no sign of melt, how can things be so different in east Leeds?

I would say enjoy this whilst it lasts because looking at the overnight model output there's not going to be any more after this for the foreseeable future.

Well the needle in the hay-stack has been found!

Its the BBC five dayer of course!!

http://news.bbc.co.u.../2535?area=LS16

Max 1.c today, 3,c tomorrow, heavy snow all day Monday!

Edit: Some of the heaviest snowfall of this winter, with the odd breeze blown in from the east making it quite tricky!

Snowing in doncaster not settling though but still good!

[The PIT]

About 1.5cm here and now coming down fairly heavy again. Radar still thinks it's raining LOL.

Well, as expected, had to use the 4WD to get out of the village at 5.45 am this morning, whilst it was only 3-4 cms that's enough to make it too risky on the hills in the Focus. Snow was settled on all surfaces at least 2-3 cms, probably more. Cars, (what few that were about), absolutely crawling on all the main roads until got onto the M62, which was white on outside twp lanes down to jct 25. Snowing all the way to East Leeds, but not laying. Has been snowing ever since and now started to lay even here. Wonder what the depth is back at home by now.

Yeh lot of bad drivers out panicking. The only problems I've had this morning are. Glasses steaming up, Windscreen steaming up other drivers and the pot holes are buried and since some of these are rather deep it makes for a shuddering journey.

Thought your ford focus would have dealt with 3cm to 4cm though.

It might have, but with none of the roads round the village gritted, and a steep downhill to negotiate why take the risk ? And of course not knowing how long it would last or how heavy it was going to be, there's always the possibility of not being able to get back ! (a lesson I learned a couple of times in the first few years after we moved up onto 'the Hill').

[CasMan]

Anyone know how long this is supposed to last?

I love snow but i support Cas Tigers and we are playing Huddersfield Giants at 6pm tonight at Cas, and i dont want the game to be called off,

The Rain Today premium radar shows it turning to sleet in the next hour or so, but the snow is still coming down fast and im not sure how reliable the radar is at the moment, it shows precipitation all the way up to at least 12:30 but as rain, not sure though, depends on the temperatures i guess.

Any ideas?

Snow is good, but not in the rugby season

Hopefully should start thawing, and melting quickly, BBC reckon temps will reach 5-7c this afternoon after the front clears.

I went to the cas game (friendly the other week) cracking game, and was so close, i don't need to remind you we won

P.S are you getting a new stadium? Because I like cas's ground, it's the only classic type of stadium left, it reminds me of the boulevard.

good luck today mate

Thanks Lewis, hope so

Yep i was at the Cas-Hull game, i wasnt too dissapointed we lost by 2 points but i did think we were the better team, we need to find a goalkicker quickly, thats what let us down, i like it when we play hull though, you bring a very vocal crowd along.

I'm about 90% sure we will get the ground, planning permission should be granted in April and hopefully we should start building by July before licences are handed out, i will miss the old ground, but we need to move on, if you go on Castigers website you can watch a fly through of the new stadium, looks good

I hope we do well tonight but Huddersfield are a very good team, but we will see

[Cheese Rice]

Looks like the snow is laying in the center of of Leeds. Woop!

1. it wont reach 5-7c here in leeds! if you watched the same forecast on bbc that was for manc, yorkshire northwards will struggle with the temps. to me the forecast got this all wrong! were 145-150 metres jst outside leeds downtown and have had snow since 2am (no wintry mix and slushy deposits) deep snow and this was forecast 300/400m plus!

2. the thaw will be slow the higher you are and 3. i am a rhinos fan and yes it should snow now-this is winter. rugby should start later or play in the cold weather. there big guys remember.

[reef]

Plain old cold rain as expected here. The dewpoint never went below freezing so it always looked unlikely.

Currently 3.7C and 2.5C dewpoint. 1.2mm of rain so far.

I agree the season should start later, not exactly summer rugby is it? :unsure:

[fazzafarrand]

3hrs of wet snow

and I don't live at the top of a hill

forcasts again struggling...........

[bazookabob]

Well I set off from York in icy rain about 4am back to Garforth (East Leeds) where it was snowing with a dusting at 5ish... We're less than 100m asl here so was pleasantly suprised to wake up from my 3 hour nap to find this...

Cheers

[LeeSnowFan]

has been snowing since 7.30am and laying lovely at least an inch possibly more and it loooooooooooks lovely! in barnsley

[NorthYorksWeather]

Snowing in York but too wet to settle, just been up Garrowby Hill (250m asl)and theres a few cm's of snow and coming down thick n fast. Roads havent been gritted so driving conditions a bit tricky.

[NW Leeds Russ]

5-6cm snow here on cars etc.

Walked down to Ring road near Wickes and the difference dropping down by 100-130m lower down was massive.

There was barely a cm and that was slush

[The PIT]

Still snowing here but no real increase of depth due to lighter spells of snow which allows the melting to catch up. Temp now 0.6C dew point -0.1C. Roads okay and the nervous drivers seem to have gone back to bed or have gone into work.
