Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013>

Well my area between scunny and the humber as been upgraded at 1500hrs on the meto site, now showing heavy snow from 2100 through till 006am

cant see how the main band will produce that so im leaning towards the easterly blowing them inland according to my nw extra radar overlay still coming

in from the south east..

[Rob Harbord]

Judging by how heavy it is here, then looking at the radar, the East coast and N/E must be taking a serious hammering.

Very organised showers moving across now, take a look at HU4, were just about to see some heavy precip by the looks of it!

[PMPhotography]

Flippin eck. I really didn't expect this! Consistently moderate snowfall with frequent heavy bursts. It's really starting to pile up. And look at all that East of us. I'm sure it's going get interesting soon! Will head out and brave it for measurements later!

I just messaged MetOffice on facebook and asked that question and they said to go with what my regional forecast says as they don't have control over the main bbc forecast?

so Look north has yorkshire under snow all night so im happy to go with that lol

Ha, i'll join you, sounds good enough to me.

Whats it like in Tarn? Its really picked up here since it got dark.

[Polar Low]

earlier in the week this front was forecast to bring blizzard conditions and heavy snow across yorkshire and the east.The fact that the synoptics changed and downgraded the event does not alter the fact that today this front was the main fall of snow for south yorkshire.The easterlys were set to come in sat and they are down grading

That forecast changed at about +72hrs out... !

The forecast made within a reasonable timeframe has verified pretty much as predicted.

[Adam lufc]

Well according to the nae bbc n itv the precip over the Pennines was meant to intensify and produce 10cm plus... Any thoughts cos i can't see that.

The radar shows some heavier snow to the north of Lincoln, which will hopefully reach us soon.

[allenar]

metoffice radar shows the front loosing intensity. Could die out this one

Technically the showers have linked to the front so i'm not sure we can call them showers anymore but it does appear to be pepping up.

Heavy snow with small flakes in Leeds, will venture out soon to evaluate.

We probably won't get that much but over 5cm is entirely possible.

Also its the precipitation to the south which we are getting.

prob for the coast and north east.cant see us guys needing one lol

[Aaron]

Can't see us getting 5cm at this rate tbh

[Harsh Climate]

Looks like nothing more than a dusting here. If this is all we end up with by the end of the day, I will be a little dissapointed to say the least. Can't see where anything appreciable os going to come from tonight.
