Yorkshire and Northern Lincs Regional Thread

[Just Before Dawn]

After a short lull, it's just starting up here again. Slight covering on cars, but just too wet on other surfaces.

[Allseasons-Si]

what would it mean for us if it is a trough? sorry im new to all this lol

there are many sites that can give you data on troughs

what it means is enhanced presipitation/disturbance in the air.

Convection looks to be dying out now. I have a feeling next week is going to be a bit of a let down to be honest. A lot of hype. In the end, the weather will do what the weather wants. Spend more time looking for the beginning / end of a cold spell than actually enjoying the cold spell and snow when it arrives.

i had that feeling too, but the snow we have had here, was not forecast, so how can next week be forecast with any confidence when they cant forecast hours in front correctly

Surprised by all these rain reports, especially in Chesterfield of all places!

Just thought I'd mention - latest BBC forecast shows heavy snow for all of our region, NO rain.

[Allseasons-Si]

No troughs, just convection.

thanks for clearing that up Aaron.

A bit of a disappointment overnight as it has remained too mild for snow here and now the showers have died off as it has turned calm. Today should see a band of precipitation move down from the North-west and hit during the afternoon or evening. Upper air looks favourable but you never know in these setups:

After that it turns cold and frosty overnight and another band moves down from the North-west on Monday morning, this one is associated with a wedge of milder upper air, but as the colder air races in behind and this 'wedge' closes theres a good chance of snow in places.

It'll be a case of radar watching and seeing if temperatures are favourable at the time for this one, the second band is pretty marginal but with a north-westerly rather than onshore breeze from the North Sea it might be enough to deliver even at sea level. Altitude will definitely increase your chances as always.

[Aaron]

Morning...

GFS looks worrying for western areas, but for E Yorks and Lincs, looks great. I see NMM also shows a warm sector, really hope it buggers off soon, or that the models are overestimating the prominence of it.

Still, NAE looks brilliant for snow, BBC forecasts continue to show snow throughout, as do Met Office forecasts.. so it's a case of wait and see. Not long to go now before the first band arrives.

NAE shows no warm sector at all and shows cold uppers throughout. Who will be right I wonder?

[Cal]

Had a slight covering during the wee hours around a cm at a guess, not sure what will be falling later this afternoon, looks marginal more esp the second band tomorrow.

[Lion]

Woke up to really fine snow dust falling.. -0.4 currently

[SnOwFeSt]

Breakfast weather seemed more confident of both bands being of snow for our region. Dodgy for more southern and western areas but should be ok for Yorkshire! Suppose it will be a case of wait and see. The first band looks like coming through a bit earlier than was previously progged.

[Lion]

Is that the band currently over Scotland? I looked at that on the radar earlier.. The stuff coming off yorkshire coast just grazed us before it died

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Yes, thats the band. Its worth keeping an eye on for our part of the world later on

[Lion]

Thanks. I hoped that it would work its way down. Going to be a day of nail biting radar watching

[PMPhotography]

Cracking showers overnight. Shame they were mainly sleet! Hail woke me up a couple of times crashing on the roof for me to peek out the window but nothing laying.

Just the wrong side of freezing at 0.7C with Dew point 0.6C.

Just seen the BBC forecast which shows no rain at all tomorrow for our region! I do hope they're right! MO site forecast still shows snow to rain event for us but heavy snow showers packing behind on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wish that piggin BBC news presenter would stop her wittering and whining about the cold forecast! Very annoying!

[Lincs Observation]

Is it possible to post in here due to the fact there is no South Lincs room, I anticipate that later today and overnight us wee folk down Sleaford / Boston way will have plenty to write about.

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Nothing really to report from Grimsby at the moment. We have a covering on cars and a tiny but on the grass but thats about it. Current temperatures are around 0 including the dew points. Im not sure how much snow to expect tonight and tomorrow but an inch or two would be very welcome.

To be honest I'm a bit confused by the thread title as this regional thread is always for Yorks and Lincs not just north Lincs so yes this thread is appropriate.
