Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread

[harribo]

Evening all. I don't often post as I'm still learning the ropes so to speak. I'm in York and it seems very touch and go, as does my workplace in Leeds. Guess its just now casting?

[Harsh Climate]

I'm struggling to see how this snow is going to turn to rain with the 0C isotherm below 100m through out. For west yorkshire anyways...

I think a lot will depend on how heavy the precipitation is on the back side of the front, if it's light drizzly shizzle dragging it's heels we could get a little rain, but wouldn't expect much snow melt from it.

Although city's might just be too mild for most of the snow to accumulate.

I expect it to be snow from start to finish across the whole of Yorkshire/Lincolnshire.

Snowfall accumulation of 10-15cm widespread, 15-20cm over Pennines/North York moors.

PPN amounts 14/15mm in west, 11/13 mm in east. Ignore gap, always shown in frontal scenarios.

Dew points -1/-2

0.c Isotherm down to sea level

PPN type- snow throughout

NMM goes for snow

Good forecast, but 10-15cm widely I'm not so sure about. I think you will get 8-15cm and linconshire/parts of east yorkshire also. But places like headingly/bridlington/western parts of south yorkshire will probably get a spell of snow turning to rain/sleet.

Temp plummeting tonight after a crackin day. -1.6C already. It's looking like we could do quite well out of tomorrows event which makes a nice change!

I can't figure out which MO warning we're in though! The line seems to go straight through us! The NW forecast has the back end turning to sleet but the other forecasts and PPN maps look pretty good to me.

Any views?

-4 now, looks like a very cold night.

[LeeSnowFan]

So i'm very pleased with the forecast this evening at least 6 hours of continuous snow fall for many parts of Yorkshire, was hoping for 10-12 hours but will make do with 6 lol

If any more experienced users would like to make me happy then please delve in and let me know!

[Wintrywooz]

[SnowRules]

Had our first proper frost of the "cold period" today still there in sheltered spots about -5 last night.

Looking forward to tomorrow!!!!!!

One other thing I have noticed tonight which was a bit weird, the council came up our close spreading salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. they have to much on the shelf after this years mild winter or

2. they expecting lots of snow tomorrow?

[NW Leeds Russ]

A few snow grains coming down at the moment.

Just checked the radar and the lightest of precipitation showing up.

Q. Do I stay in the city tomorrow afternoon and watch the rugby and walk home because the snow is so bad the buses can't get up to Pudsey or get back and enjoy the fun from my house?

Lewis, are you around, watching this thread in another name? your forecasts are sorely missed and also Beverley Lass and Wolds Owl ( Hope I have the names correct!!) Grab my Graupel is another name missing! Nice to see Gobbyash and Reef from this area!

Snow is certainly looking good for the weekend, I have the shovel ready!!!

I don't think travel around the city should be too bad, I'd expect any lying snow there to be quite slushy and easily melted by grit on the roads. But nearer your house could be quite a few cm

Agreed.Leeds city is always rubbish for lying snow. I work at the LGI.

Jed - I'm only hoping I have to walk home tomorrow nite..!!!...Least I'll be warm after a few sherbets

[Cheese Rice]

Leeds center isn't that bad for snow, compared to other larger cities- Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle etc Leeds does pretty darn well. We only don't realize because of our proximity to the pennines. Bradford and Sheffield center are probably snowier though.

ok peeps, i need help, i left here at 6.30 with the happy thoughts of a covering of snow tomorrow night, then after chatting to a cpl of people down the pub, look north and calender news had very little mention of snow in there forecasts apparently, have my fears been confirmed and we will miss out on this snow? my drive to gloustershire could be a night out there or straight there and back

Question for anyone who want's to answer?

Could tomorrow's Snow event be another 2010? or are we just looking at a few cm's of snow then dissapearing after a couple of days?

I bet you will be hard pushed to find pictures like that in leeds city centre before 2009 though for it to stick like that in the centre, every factor has to be perfect.
