Yorkshire And Lincolnshire Regional Discussion Thread Part 2

[Sara1988]

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

nothing at all, unfortunately lol

[Hodgheg]

Few flakes in Hull but nothing like what the radar says. BBC not showing much for here later but GFS showing heavy snow for a few hours at least. Just a case of nowcasting today maybe?

[fazzafarrand]

Just been outside, temp up to 0c, suns trying to get out, still got a good inch of untouched snow from Saturday where its in the shade or the kids haven't trampled it, radars are still showing me in a dry patch which is correct for now!

[joggs]

Anybody any news from regional forecasts for our region?

[memories of 63]

Highish cloud and very slight rain here. Hovering around 0º C though.

[reef]

We're getting precipitation coming down now and its just rain, albeit very light.

[summer blizzard]

Strangely we have very hazy cloud over Leeds which is quite bright. The temperature is however -2C so anything that falls will be snow or freezing rain.

Models still indicating 9pm to be the switch point.

Looks like the mystery precipitation reformed south of Leeds anyway.

Reef, i recall a similar thing happened to some showers in the north sea during Dec 10.

Wow, could've swore that i saw a snowflake.

[Aaron]

That precipitation appears to be moving a bit further east now - wonder what it will deliver, the temperature is approaching freezing here

[SP1986]

The reason why the radar is picking up precipitation and nothing is falling is probably due to the radar picking up a magnified signal. When water freezes is becomes more substantial/massive, and so the radar will pick this up and show it as heavier precipitation.. even if the preciptation isn't reaching the ground. If it was normal precipitation (not freezing precipitation), the radar would probably show it as very light/none existent. So it's down to the volume ratio of water vs ice. So you either have snow falling up there, or ice.

That's something I picked up when reading about the US ice storm events.

Sun out here now,, soooooooo frustraiting..

[lightningst]

Sun out here now,, soooooooo frustraiting..

still cloudy and dull here in hull

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

Temp -0.7C, DP -2.8C, and currently raining

[summer blizzard]

Radar shows show an undercut like signature on the east coast when you run the last two hours.

[LeeSnowFan]

Just started with sleet at the moment here in my area.

I want to go out but if its gonna freeze will be scared!

[maxmax]

In Manchester at the moment is it snowing in Huddersfield yet?

-1 dp -3 rh 89% dull grey here Boston not a nice day

[Jeremy Shockey]

im not expecting anything in East Yorkshire until 5pm really ......hopefuly we will get a bit of snow here after dark ....but the main band seems to be heading SW towards the Midlands and Wales

[summer blizzard]

Light freezing rain now, looks very weird.

The longer this band takes, the more snowfall later.

[Aaron]

Some 'frozen rain' here, but stopped now.. I suspect it'll just become plain old rain when the ground temperatures warm up.. then snow in the evening hopefully

[fazzafarrand]

Well just watched the latest BBC forcast and its not showing much till later on this afternoon clearing through by about 9pm, but did show it as snow?????

NMM has upgraded the snowfall potential for Leeds.

Percipitation starting as freezing rain which turns to snow around 1pm.

13-15 mm projected for west Yorkshire.

Perhaps 10cm of snow.

[trisnow]

The more this day goes on the more it feels to me like we are going to miss out on the good stuff here in Sheffield. I feel it will be more to the South East of Sheffield where the main snow will be. Sheffield and anywhere further North and West will see a cm or 2 maximum?

Anyone thinking similar?

Between 6-10mm, the further west you are the better. Also don't worry if the PPN misses you, its the area over the North Sea that pushes in and should be primarily of snow.
