Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread Part 2

still snowing heavy with the wind blowing it around into small drifts, its been like this for the last 4 1/2 hours, not sure how much more to come.

[The PIT]

Ice day gone 0.1c. Damn.

More snow please.......

[Lincs Observation]

Good call by the Met O on snow depths, even if the timing was slightly earlier than expected looking at the models.

Up early to take the kids sledging in the morning !!

The snow arrived here three hours early, However if it had, i wonder if we would have had so much.

[Muffelchen]

Just been listening to the news on Radio Five Live and they say that there is a 25 mile queue on the M62. Anyone know anything about this? On a night like this this is a dangerous situation. Here the temp is minus two and the wind is still blowing hard. This means that once you are outiside it is bitterly (dangerousy) cold.

I think we may squeeze in another hour looking at the radar

Hope so we have already had a really good covering and with temps to stay below freezing tonight hopefully no melt.

[on the coast]

Slowing down here now. Cool crisp and 3-4". Looks great.

[surfersparks]

yes I love watching dogs hurtle through the snow with their nose in it, then stop and throw their heads up to try and catch it off their nose-I had a beagle who did that every time it snowed.

Winter does have it's casualties though John...frozen dog anyone :-)

[Muffelchen]

The snowy Westwood does that to my dogs too :-) Looking forward to sledging in the morning. Still snowing out there but I think the wind has eased a little.

I love that-get the wifes' hair dryer on the poor thing

[Zak 92]

Great snow, now all that we need is for the clouds to start coming back again If only... lol

[surfersparks]

This was just from our back garden!....I darent take them on the Westwood....they'll probably dig in and we'll have to call out some sniffer dogs to find them...little sods!! :-)

I love that-get the wifes' hair dryer on the poor thing

Currently thawing in front of the fire with the dog flap SHUT!!!! :-)))

[NorthYorksWeather]

15cm (6 inches) here near malton. Just been out in the 4x4 into the wolds. Ended up skidding backwards down a hill. Very scary but I'm alive. Snow stopped and temp -0.8c. Gonna go dalby forest tomorrow it should be beautiful.

Yes it gets nasty up there j22 - j21 rishworth moor

Just looked at the jamcams nothing of note I hope

Have you tried the microwave on defrost???

[Gorky]

Due to the powdery nature of the snow and the blowing wind, I actually have a few bits of the drive which have no snow cover. The car roof is clear also still. About 2-3 inches on the grass though and drifts against the driveway wall of 8-12 inches Snow just about dying out now...

[reef]

The heaviest of the snow has passed over now and we have a variable depth of around 8-10cm with some quite substantial drifting. Ill make a proper measurement in the morning, but its a pretty decent fall which goes some way to making up for the abysmal winter so far!

Its cold too at -1.2C and 96% humidity. The trip to work tomorrow morning will be interesting to say the least.

[on the coast]

This is the first time i can remember where a front from the west has produced such powdery snow on the coast and not started thawing straight away.

[clee_snow]

stoped snow here, have about 3ins here temps are staying down to

[The PIT]

Quiet breezy here still so on top they should be plenty of drifting snow.

[Craigers]

Just got back from drinking all day in york!

Looks like doncaster got hit hard but surprised there is only 7-9cm of snow but still good result!

Hope you like the photos

[Just Before Dawn]

It's still going here in Louth, though lighter now, and blowing around in the breeze.
