Yorkshire and Lincolnshire - Weather Chat

Woke up to a bonus dusting this morning. 

As frustrating as the radar watching was last night, the main event for us in the East was always going to be from Sunday. 

 

Iv'e just seen the weather warning from the METO.

It's ace and literallly covers the coast (Typical wishbone type setup). It's about time we had in on the action!  It seems they are eyeing potential disturbances also for those inland. 

 

"Further snow showers will affect parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday leading to some locally large accumulations and the showers may spread along eastern and western coasts of England and Wales. The showers will be associated with strong winds so drifting and temporary blizzard conditions are possible as well as icy stretches. The public should be aware of the potential for disruption from these conditions. This alert is likely to be updated in the coming days. A very cold airmass will continue to spread southwards from Scotland and Northern Ireland across the remainder of the UK on Sunday accompanied by strong winds. Frequent showers are likely to form in this airmass, primarily affecting northern parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland but also running along eastern and western coastal districts of England and Wales at times. With the cold air snow is likely to accumulate even to low levels wherever showers affect. Periods of enhanced snowfall are possible within this general flow but details of these are very uncertain at this time. As such this alert is likely to be updated and refined in the coming days to better represent individual features.

There is the potential for disruption throughout this period due to the accumulating snow and ice but also with temporary blizzard conditions leading to very difficult driving conditions."

Bit of a bust here too with only a slushy covering and quite icy underfoot.

However, looking at the forecast and the radar, it would appear that all of those showers up towards Cumbria and the West coast of Scotland will gradually sink Southwards across our region throughout the day so fingers crossed it goes to plan!

Edit...The other half reports that snow is now settling on the M1 near Wakefield.

Yes just starting to snow properly north side of Barnsley after a disappointing night.

Good Morning

 

Lovely big flakes here

 

Had snow last night which had already settled, looks like it's in for a few hours

The MO warnings for Sunday.

The Wishbone effect I am supposing.

I might get something from this (?) as I'm just 7 miles

from the coast.

Dear showers, I appreciate the covering you've given me... How about some more? Let's stop missing out central Leeds...

Blizzard conditions in Dronfield during the last hour. Traffic not getting out of the town at all now. I work at a school in north Sheffield which is open today, but after a 1 hour tour of various routes out of Dronfield, I'm not risking the journey. Nearly got stuck several times and lost brakes at one point. Lucky I was only in for a half day today. Now back home safe and warm!

 

A couple of pics from my lovely tour of Dronfield during the blizzard!

Yep coming down heavier now, although it looks like we are right on the northern edge of the shower.

Snowing on the way into work in Hull

Heavy shower when I left home leaving 1cm. Very disappointing overnight with no accumulation. A good couple of cm up at gildersome but none in Leeds centre. Doesn't feel that cold either.

[caistor top]

Very heavy snow again. Looks like a streamer setting up here now.

Parts of South Yorkshire look like they've got a streamer setting up over the Irish sea.

Yep!

 

A streamer has set up, but I'm wary of the slow push southwards of these showers as well, so I think the streamer may well do the same later on and push southwards as the winds steer more northerly. Plenty of snow to enjoy before that though. A proper winter wonderland right now!

[Jonathan Lang]

Still 1cm here from last night unfortunately.

[sparky1972]

temps really picking up here now, soon be to warm for any snow, looks like we are missing out on it all, not even in the warning for sunday

[Guest]

I think we just had a rumble of thunder here?

[Sara_south_yorks]
