North Of England - Regional Discussion

Been without electric since 6pm. Nice to see some proper snow though even if in candle light. Got about 8cm so a pleasant surprise.

[Allseasons-Si]

I also don't believe today is the last chance for further snowfalls this spring, indeed we could end up with a snowy scene mid-late next week as we see a proper northerly plunge take hold.. you heard it here..

thanks D

i will have to revert to repotting my bonsai trees for the forseeable future

Very noticeable rain/snow shadow to the west of the Pennines on the forecast charts backed up by the radar images.

Here south of Warrington in north Cheshire the cloud is actually quite broken.

Light sleet/snow here now (can't quite tell which).

[Aaron]

Big flakes!

[Love Snow]

Aaron whats your location in Leeds?

[jam2010]

Near Thorpe Park, not far from the M1. Was big flakes but has become hail/sleety again, must only snow in heavier bursts

[feb1991blizzard]

Been snowing for a good 1 1/2 hours now but not settling, NAE suggests we will just miss out, going to be close though and may get suprised.

[xtremeweather]

Just started sleeting here. some big flakes mixed in.. All night left for some wintry action

[ice 1]

gritters out in otley in the rain

[Cheese Rice]

Its ice pellets not rain....

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

Hard to tell exactly how heavily it's snowing because the wind has got up so it's driving it horizontally and whipping up what's already laying. Full cover now though, temp down to -0.6c.

[UV-RAY]

It's just like winter 2011/12 all over again here, bugger all to report.

[Storm Animal]

Covering of snow here, pepped up around 10pm, really windy too!

[Aaron]

All but stopped now, hope it stays away for now so the ground can dry out a bit in time for the main band

Been snowing here a good while, no covering on roads or pavements, patchy on other things, must be your extra 400ft that is doing the trick.

[ice 1]

wot time is the main band cuming ?

yes, theres a covering at Scouthead, hopefully more to come!!

Was looking like 1am but to me it looks like its just sitting there and not moving so who knows, absolutely belting down here though right now.

[summer blizzard]

Still sleety rain here although looking at the radar it does like we should see it stop as we move into a dry patch.

Will be interesting to see if the temperature drops in that time.

[SP1986]

Raining lightly here.

[feb1991blizzard]

It reminds me of that friday afternoon in Late Jan, beggar all here, went to oldham centre, rain, but on the way back it was belting down Austerlands, Scouthead, nothing uppermill center apart from sleet wet snow, had race against time to get back again and really was belting down, as soon as i got near Manchester North, there was rain though, away for weekend, came back sunday night and the pennines were white.

[weatherobsuk]

BBC seemed more positive just now that disruption around the usual Pennine routes are in-order by the morning. Currently drizzle here, but with slight-moderate northeasterly winds.

Not sure what to make of events so far, whats your take on it?

Front has finally flattened out to sea and moved a little south so we should now see more westerly movement as it moves south.

First sign of this will be York getting the precipitation to its east.

I would say 2-3am with a possible dry slot between about 1-2am.

Barring the city centre it seems like the snow line is in the 100-150m range at the moment.

A little disappointing so far but pretty confident that some snow could develop as the night moves on.
