Northern England - Cold Spell Discussion

[itsnowjoke]

on the weather channel on my phone its says

tonight- cloudy with rain and snow.

tomorrow- rain and snow showers in the morning changing to rain in the afternoon... no change there then.

NWRadar showing snowfall now occurring across Kinder Scout & Bleaklow, the first of the 2011/2012 season.

[kold weather]

Probably more of a function of the poor resolution showing precip over the NE rather than actual forecasted precip...

Approx 14:30 sleet at around 350m - Wormhill, Peak District Derbyshire, simillar time at Doveholes its was snow but no lying. Rushup Edge and Eldon hill - 400m and above had lying snow on the grass, road's had clear slush so snow must have just started sticking on them.

temp dropped now to 3.4c whats going on ?

[Snowstorm1]

Clump of showers to the NW im keeping my on currently.

and temp slowly rising again here made it to 2.4c now 2.6c ?

[Harsh Climate]

I'm clutching at straws really mate, but you never know they often update a forecast at last minute (or 4 hours) before a shower arrives

Don't think there's a better substitute than watching the radar

All it would take is a nice little streamer coinciding with the colder air and boom!! you could end up with 5cm easily. I've had it many times when there's not many showers forecast then you just get a thin line of em feeding through. In my case a small gap in the pennines.

Well at 9.15 this morning carlisle had it's first 10min snow shower lol of the season, nice to see and nice to see it starting to stick on the grass. However we have had rain on and off most of the day. Heres to some snow tonight though

Even if it does cross the Pennines it'll only hit Leeds/York.

[Teesdale]

Just gone below freezing, looks dry for few hours, shr action looks to across Lake District then Western Yorkshire Dales

[bridgechad]

Hail in Ashton, 3.5oC temp DP 2.6oC

[Snowstorm1]

Even if it does cross the Pennines it'll only hit Leeds/York.

Ah right was wondering if it was travelling on a too southerly path

[Isolated Frost]

1.9/0.0 here alza- great to see you posting again; hopefully the wind direction will be east next time we're on about cold spells but I'm quite content with the beautiful lake district and pennines getting hammered... But please may some showers sneak past the pennines!

[Backtrack]

my temp has dropped off again from 3.4c to 2.4c no rain at the mo tho. EDIT. now have drizzle again.

Can only be a fantastic sign for us further south. The uppers are really getting to work in your area, and hopefully it won't be long it's the same here.

Dropped to 5.2C here

I've never heard of a Tyne Streamer mentioned, but i'd love to be corrected!
