[Adam lufc]

Poor pics due to mobile phone but here re the cooling towers at work with all the icicles on them. Pics really don't do them justice.

Freezing fog out on Risby Top tonight, visibility down to 5-8m. As bad as I've seen it around Scunny for a few years.

Current temperature for scunny is -6.7 with a dew point of -7.2.

Awesum!!

[Lincstim]

There is a lot of precipitation building off the east coast near the Humber looking at the rain today site!!! But it's not going anywhere!!!!

[Lincstim]

0140 weather view still going with snow reaching east and staying through Saturday. Did not show further than that.

-8.1 degrees dew point if -8.8!!!!!

It's been a ccccccold night shift

Is anyone able to post up the charts or any details of the snow event that took place in 2010. Would be interesting to look at them and see what created rat epic snow event for our region.

There were flying toys and dummies in the winter model thread after the pub run last night, but just had a quick look and the few posts this morning

are much more optimistic.

Fingers crossed things stay on track today and we all have a snowfest weekend.

Wrap up warm peeps, its bloody freezing out there.

[Lincstim]

Bbc and met still sticking to their prediction. Bed time for now after an amazingly cold night shift with some extreme freezing fog.

Hoping to wake up to amazing weather warning for this region.

-8 so far tonite all the high clouds gone its frreeezin brrrrrr

[joggs]

-4.5 in Bingley under cloud n fog with no visible frost, cars clear n dry lol.

[Snowday]

Just had a look at the model thread and a lot of murmuring about the front that was expected over the UK has moved west meaning Ireland is in the firing line now. Much as I would love 25cms of snow, it looks as though we may not end up with as much here on the mainland as predicted. *sigh*

According to Carole k's weather graph this morning we are set to miss out as everything is further south :-( hoping it can change

[LeeSnowFan]

Just seen look north forecast and Lisa said snow expected for all of our region by tomorrow evening still good news

[tayzi]

Yep I saw both forecasts as well, doesnt take much these days to confuse me. Mind you the national weather didnt go furthur on into Fri evening/Saturday, probably cos they still unsure .

[Aaron]

ECM, UKMO, GEM look alright for this region. GFS, NAE, NMM look pretty awful. I'd wait until the 18z, or maybe the 00z tomorrow, and then we can see what the models are saying. No way am I going to get suckered by another 06z GFS run.

OOOF! You beat me! -9.1C recorded here in Eastfield, Scarborough.

-7.2 at the moment. Obviously colder the further east you go.

Amazing at -9 that i'm worried about marginality on the coast over the weekend! How fast things can change!

[sunny scunny]

To be honest in these sort of situations with cold deeply set suprises do pop up, whether that be 2mor or next wk i think we'll all have a piece of the action.

[Aaron]

It's -5.6C after a low of -6.6C, sun is shining but not for long, more cloud encroaching. More freezing fog overnight has left another coating of rime and it is truly magnificent out there this morning.
