Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013>

[swfc]

the front seems to be heading north east a bit quicker than forecast i think?

[Ridge of High Pressure]

Morning

Snowing lightly here, seems a bit more breezy too. Radar suggest leading edge is about to reach us,

[SnOwFeSt]

Yes the front seems to be moving at a fair old rate. If it continues at the same rate, this front could be with us in about an hour and a half. Expecting it to start stalling soon though, so will probably take much longer.

[LeeSnowFan]

According to radar band of snow showers heading up from the south could reach us earlier than expected?

[SnOwFeSt]

Nice streamers developing in the north sea as well. Shame they don't seem to be coming onshore yet, but could be one to watch for later!

[sparky1972]

well, looking forward to another day of reading about the snow rather than having any here, not, met office local forecast have it arriving here at 3pm when i would think it will have pettered out to not alot, certainly not much forecast for the weekend either so another near miss like it was monday, have fun everyone

[SnOwFeSt]

I think the predictions are slightly inaccurate. Snow was originally forecast to hit our region from about 3pm, but the front seems to be coming in at a much quicker rate. Unless it slows up massively in the next hour, we could be in on the action. Especially if it stalls over our region!

yes 1-2 hours at this rate will see it over yorkshire

[Aaron]

Yes it looks to be advancing quickly, good 5cm in my front garden after yesterday's Fall. Could get more than 10cm after today if NAE is accurate and so far it has.

[Snowday]

This may be a daft question, but if the front is moving at quite a speed, then why would it stall over us?

I have heard of fronts slowing down before, but what would actually make it stall?

[joggs]

The front should pivet and slow may even look like might not reach us n once the winds turn more of a easterly watch them showers move in. laters

[Les Penniston]

light snow travelling from Boston to Bourne, temps hovering around 0c to -1c and the wind seems to be picking up

[SnOwFeSt]

Such a roller coaster ain't it? First we were told we'd get a pasting, en we were going to miss out, then looks like we're back on! Just goes to show when forecasting snow, the best thing to do is just wait for the event then look (obsessively) at the radar!

Cos there's a large block of cold air to our east. The milder Atlantic air tries to get in but hits the cold air like hitting a brick wall and slows and is forced sout east. Wait until later, and you'll see the front 'pivot' round as it starts to slow up.

Colder denser air this side of the pennines along with a freshening easterly and the front should pivot somewhat.

Ah.Thanks!

[SnOwFeSt]

Breakfast weather seems to be about 2 hours behind time. The front they show for 9am is what it looks like at the moment! Certainly seems to be moving quicker than expected this front.

[swfc]

A good sign of the main front approaching will be a big increase in the wind speed!!!

yes they had it crossing birmingham at 9-00 but its already there.deff moving quicker but may slow down as it starts to fizzle out slightly.looking ok tho

[syncmaster]

And just to add, nice area just moving in off the sea from the s/e

Looks great could get it from both directions! win win

[swfc]

One point when viewing your local bbc half hour update.These are recordings so be wary of what they show on the radar and outside show.they will i feel upgrade the snow post lunch time or before!!!

[Clark3e]

Looking at the radar the front has got to be upto Leeds b4 Lunch.. Half day on the cards..

[Posh12]

front from the south west really gathering pace now!!

what about skeggy looks like we are to far from the west and too close for the north sea showers to have an impact to my untrained eye cheers fella Edited January 18, 2013 by Posh12

[sunny scunny]

I'm still not confident in seeing anymore than a dusting here, but hopefully i will get a pleasant surprise.

im with you on this one, we will be in the gap between the front coming from the west and the showers comming from the east i feel
