Yorkshire and E England regional discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[SouthYorks]

We had a few flakes between 10 and 10.30 but nothing since.  The heaviest ppn is too far North and anything that get further South fizzles out over the Pennines before it reaches here.

[Winter Cold]

Up to 2.5c here now, rising quickly 

Radar type predicting sleet in some areas now. 

Don't think Rotherham will be seeing anything today. Slight chance later tonight and then last chance will be any snow showers on Thursday!

Hopefully areas further north can see something this afternoon

[winterof79]

Crxp fest for me this event.

oh well.

maybe more for Pock this evening  Aiden

[joggs]

Low lying areas will soon have to wait for the colder uppers to flood back but just hope there'll be precip around.

[Light Without Heat]

Light snow in Hull

[A Face like Thunder]

Definitely snowing in Goathland on the NY Moors, as per station webcam

Probably about 3cm here now, which is surprising given it is also Sunny, and rare to get any depth increase in the daytime. Likely to stay heavy until midnight here, although the one this evening is still forecast to be the heaviest for us. Going to be fun to find out the depth in the morning, assuming the warm area doesn't scupper it all.

You can view the cameras, but they annoyingly don't allow the weather station data to be public.

The problem is according to the data it doesn't turn favorable until after midnight when most of the precipitation has gone or died.

Everything should be settling after 3am when it's bone dry.

Also snowing at Grosmont which is around 70m lower, and a few flurries here at the coast.

Looking to see if we get any shower activity over the next few days before the mild stormy weather returns

[cowdog]

**** Met office website has it getting to -12C here tonight. The lowest we ever had here was -18C in 2009 (or 2010), so this is exceptional if it happens. Not made any preparations for those kinds of temperatures, as we were looking at it not being that bad tonight, and tomorrow night being the cold one.

Barring a miracle this will probably go down as my second most disappointing cold spell of all time! Especially with the weeks of hype.

Many a cold spell seems to be tame when it finally does arrive, when viewing the models I only really get interested if it's showing -10 to -15 uppers from the northeast or east then expect something closer to -10 if it does arrive, so rare though. Unfortunately among all the hype that this was going to be an extended cold spell then don't worry only a mild blip, currently all I see is the azores high and euro high into Feb. Still time in Feb but who knows at this stage.

Some light flakes in the air here, so did manage a few flakes from this spell.

Looking dodgy on hills with even more coming in soon and temperatures starting to drop again:

North York Moors (A169 Pickering to Whitby has been closed)



Dales

[Tim A]

The extent of the precipitation over the Dales was well modelled. 

We have had light snow on and off, gave a dusting around 11am but mostly melted now.   So frustrating for it to be so close to a winter wonderland, not unexpected though as no models showed us getting anything significant. 

[Love Snow]

All the hype over nothing if you have followed the models thread for the past couple of weeks ! Disappointed but always to be expected when chasing fantasy charts hopefully a lessons learned to members who get excited about a run ten days out. Looking forward to seeing the snow pictures in here for later in the lucky areas

Just me or are those streamers setting up over South West Wales heading in our direction?

Everything's gonna slide se with cold air return in the early hours I think. But precip looks like being sparse.

[Jeremy Shockey]

Maybe a dusting from the back edge as the favourable dew points return after midnight .......but there isn't much precipitation left by then

Yes very disappointing to see so much snow so near and yet so far. I've got a day off tomorrow I think a drive to the Dales is in order!

Has to be up there with one of the most overhyped events in many years this time last week people aree talking about ice days and - double digit temps it is currently 3c and all we have had is a tiny bit of dandruff. 

Those that hyped it up must be feeling a tad silly given the hype they were making out like we were going to see Beast from the east Mk2.

Yes and I heard comparisons of winter 1978/79 and that ''there would be many attacks on our blocking high which would be rebuffed.''

The first meaningful attack from the Atlantic this weekend, we end up with blow torch South Westerlies . Before that though patting themselves on the back and bigging up their wacky forecasting methods at 7 day+ GFS/ECM charts to suddenly disappear into the abyss lol
