Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013>

Assuming you got the same forecast as me then it seems snow is forecast to be light until midnight (logical as the precipitation peps up from the east) but then what is weird is that from 06:00 we are forecast 9 hours of heavy snow with an 80% chance. Where will this come from!

Indeed, radar shows Hull to York eastward under very heavy snow. I'm pleased to say that i called this earlier and with dew points rising on the coast there is good evidence of an increasing easterly element pushing the heavier precipitation further inland.

Hope we gets some heavier stuff here nth lincoln??

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Think it's game over now for west yorkshire apart from a further dusting, a measly 1cm here!

Quite disappointing when you think how good it looked a few days ago and we have had 2/3 snow events.

Sunday/mondays event is going to have to be awesome for me to remember this cold spell..

bout the same as here in skegness thought i was the only place with 1 cm lol winds changing tho clouds coming from direction of the sea(east)

[Aaron]

Yup game over for here. SB, no idea. Cannot see the heavier pulses getting here.

We've had about 1cm here in York today, disappointed. Hopefully it will nudge a little more west to give us a bit more overnight. My head hurts from watching the radar, the heavier snow seems to stall or miss us.

[PMPhotography]

Spoke too soon. Beefy showers heading in again!

[Machu Picchu]

Meto has here down for heavy snow from midnight to late morning, Bring it.

Then 15hours worth of heavy snow for Sunday, i'll believe it when i see it.

[summer blizzard]

The real beautiful thing about this snow is that you can see the crystals glistening reflecting the street lights on the ground and even some doing this as they fall past the street light.

I noticed that too when i went out. Why is this, its beautiful?

Radar other than showing a few small gaps suggests game on and the heavy precipitation is pepping up ever further west. Met Office suggest heaviest snow from midnight.

Any idea when this will stop??? Looks like a walk to work tomorrow ha ha

Leicester is into hour 10 of their snowfall which puts us past 2am here.

By the time it get's here it will probably be much lighter, the real heavy stuff just isn't going to get any further west than York.

If we would have had an easterly, not sout south easterly we would all have got hammered this evening. Also if that band of light crap to the south hadn't made it past midlands we might have got snow showers. I've really enjoyed model watching today , but leaves a bitter taste when you get no more than a dusting after all the potential been on offer lol.

Yep radar shows some snow coming again. Not sure how long they will last though. Temp very worrying here. 1.7c

[sunny scunny]

Snow has stopped here, but a nice covering now.

[Snowy Liverpool]

I'm guessing this system is still a long way from hitting peak intensity? It's starting to weaken inland.

[al_13]

Well it's been snowing here (Worrall area of Sheffield) for about 4 hours now, very light, but very constant, it's covered tracks, and probably put a couple of inches on the ground and cars. Doesn't show any sign of slowing down just yet either.

Can someone direct me to a radar that is updating please just looked at 12Z and obviously now it is a bit out of date. Ta.

The stream battering Hull will get you.

I'm in Strensall and its snowing nice and moderate. More like 2 inches here and I'm just 6 miles north of York !

Looks good for a while yet.

Cracking spell of cold.

Y.S

[Muffelchen]

Snow is very heavy now and starting to blow around in a strengthening wind. If you look to the SE through the thick snow you can make out lightning flashes. All in all, a wild night in Beverley. Looking upwind towards the Humber, there is more snow coming as a line of showers have developed and they are all heading this way from Hedon over Hull to Beverley. Awesome

[Sara1988]

sooo happy, kids have been sledging, had snowball fights, would not be bothered if it stopped right now here, my craving for snow has been well and truly satisfied, also looked so pretty earlier like glitter falling from the sky :)

[Harsh Climate]

Just as I give up the snow is getting a little heavier with bigger flakes, going to take a minor miracle for me to reach 5cm tonight.

Cheers MP and SB, appreciated.

Looks like plenty more of the light glittery stuff for us here then, not complaining but some chunky flakes would be nice to see.
