i have a feeling it will track westwards before it gets to us down here.

[snowjoking]

Light freezing Rain here, temp -2c

[lightningst]

well according to the bbc forecast thats just been on bbc1 east yorkshire isnt going to get any rain or snow i really hope its wrong.

edit look north just said its still on for snow no wonder people complain about forecasts always been wrong when on the same channel within five minutes one says no rain or snow and the other ones says lots of it!

i wouldn't bother watching the forecasts, and instead just keep an eye on the radar and see how things develop during the day.

[Cheese Rice]

So whats going on over east Yorkshire. Theres plenty of percipitation around?

[Aaron]

Looks like I may see freezing rain for the first time very soon, as far as I'm aware

nothing goin on yet here, 25 miles inland of grimsby just south of the humber -1c

[fazzafarrand]

Looks like i'm in a hole at the moment but plenty of precipitation going down the east of yorks any idea what that is?

[lightningst]

none at all which is odd the radar says rain or snow but its as dry as a bone here in hull. think i will just look out the window and see what happens

[alibabba]

radar is also showing rain over us in skeg but its not raining at all

[trisnow]

How strange, it had you under a heavy bout not long ago! Anyone any ideas what causes that wrong data?

[lightningst]

maybe a radar clitch?

[trisnow]

maybe a radar clitch?

Sorry, I meant as in what causes that glitch? How is the radar data gathered? I have no idea...

[syncmaster]

same thing happened saturday, had cloud on the radar over north lincs by 3pm didnt get anything till 4.30..

[fazzafarrand]

Using Rain Today, that was spot on for me at the weekend. Looks to be to far forward if no one is reporting anything atm, also it seems to far advanced compared to the last BBC Forcast, but also the free one on here shows the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lightningst]

no me neither. but somethings getting it wrong somewhere

[Wintrywooz]

well from the radar it should be snowing here nothing! but the clouds do look very heavy

[sunny scunny]

Ive just been out for a walk and there is still 2 inches of snow in the fields.It's also dry here too despite what the radar says.

[fazzafarrand]

Please put in where your name is where you are from please!!!!!!

[Sara1988]

dry and boring here, and only forecast sleet for the bulk of the day from the metO.

[lightningst]

radars are showing big clitches

at 8.00 and at 8.15 big parts of misture disappear and reappear not sure how to post the pictures sorry

Yep, radar is showing precipitation over this area but its actually dry. Chances are its raining lightly up there but it evaporating as it hits the cold, drier air on the way down.

[lightningst]

ah thanks for that reef so the radar cant really be relied on for where its going to be wet. it just gives us clues as to what might happen like i said earlier just stick to looking out the window today i think

so anyone in here actually getting anything falling out the sky at the moment

[syncmaster]

Really weird its actually brightened up in the last 10 mins..
