Yorkshire and E England regional discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Weather-history]

25 years ago today, snow fell on my side of the Pennines that Saturday morning as it did over parts of Yorkshire.

Another grey day at east coast.

Winds have picked up a notch, and are still firmly E

Lunchtime brought Force 4-5 E with 7c and 100% grey featureless cloud, at least theres been no rain.

 Weather-history I was living in Lancaster at the time but do not remember much about this event. I think it was the following week / weekend that there were considerable flooding problems in York and Malton, possibly as a result of melting snow.

[Love Snow]

Very depressing weather here in leeds for the past few days bitterly cold wind and gray skies all day! We need some sun after a poor winter. 

[mike57]

 Love Snow Its gone downhill even further this morning, on the coast woke up to moderate to heavy rain with a lazy (blows through you instead of going round you) easterly wind. We really don't need anymore rain at the moment

[Winter Cold]

What a truly awful Sunday it's been!

Dark, misty and really wet. Over 17mm here in the last 24 hours. Really cold wind as well.

Today has been another cold grey day with occasional drizzle.

At least the winds have been light.

Lunchtime ride brought 6C, winds force 2-3 N, and 100% cloud, a featureless grey sky, with intermittent fine drizzle.

More of the grey and wet here. A milder day morning though on the morning dog walk.  Ground is saturated even on the hill tops nearby.  Oh for a run of dry sunny days, cold or mild.

[mike57]

Aother thoroughly miserable day here after some early brightness.

Lunchtime ride brought 7C, mist/fog, winds force 3-4 SE and drizzle with 100% cloud. Felt colder than the 7C would indicate This was the view just before Midday about 2 miles from home

For some reason we often seem to get a day of transient snow on the North York Moors around 21st March ........and i wouldn't be at all surprised if it happens again this year !

High tide in North Bay Scarborough tonight

If you watch my video closely you will see the sea water actually coming through the wall below the coping and lower down in several places. Shows the power the sea has.

[mike57]

A slight improvement today. Got rid of the nagging damp easterly, but overall much windier today and still rain about

Lunchtime brought force 5-7 SW winds with 13c and some brightness for the first half turning to very light rain in the last 10 minutes of my hour out.

Looking at the MetO charts low pressure is never far away so more rain on the cards.

 mike57 the breeze is welcome for drying up land tho, talking to a mate/farm manager this eve, (4500 acres arable) and he said they were not as far along he would like to be, not 'disastrous' so far but not ideal in the slightest....

[mike57]

 Wold Topper The Wolds will dry out fairly quickly, but our last trip towards Hull on the train last Saturday there is still a huge amount of standing water on the flat lands between Driffield and Beverley, and I suspect their situation is worse still.

[mike57]

Yet another wet spell, moderate to heavy rain at the coast this morning after a better few days. Problem is all the problem wet spots are filling again.

[mike57]

A much better day today.

Lunchtime brought force 3-4 SSW winds, 13C and long sunny spells. First day of the year cycling without a top coat.

[mike57]

Two nice days, and then today...

Woke up to rain, which had stopped by lunchtime, to be replaced by low cloud/fog. Bike ride brought NW winds force 2-3 which was aborted due to the rain starting again just after the 4 mile mark, headed back home, 10c and low cloud.

Still foggy outside and of course everywhere is sodden again.

[Wold Topper]

 mike57 it really is getting tedious now....a day or two that offers a glimmer of hope and then a kick in the nads, rinse and repeat, we really need a dry spell...

[Mark Bayley]

I have booked next week off for garden maintenance - weather looks pretty horrendous.. Still, i won't need to water any of the new plants in! 

[mike57]

Another poor day today.

Light rain at lunchtime turned heavier whilst out, did 8 miles and got wet.

10c with a force 4-6 SW wind and 100% cloud

Looks a little brighter now.

 Mark Bayley Just think, mud mud and more mud...

[reef]

I think the grass is going to be half a metre high by the time I can cut it. Can't seem to get two dry days together at the moment. I don't think I've had a year where I haven't managed to do it by April, even last year it was done in February.

[mike57]

 reef Ours is the same, and that soggy that it squelches when you walk on it

[Jeremy Shockey]

yikes ......if this comes off for early April

[Wold Topper]

 Jeremy Shockey hopefully an outlier
