Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Regional Discussion 09/03/13 18z ----->

Sleet and snow through the night. Wrong side of marginal though and nothing stuck. Just wet and miserable out there but snow falling now. Thanks to everyone for pointing out my readings. I wonder how long it's been wrong. Colin pointed it out last week but i thought it was just a one off! My station has a fault that means as soon as Dew Point drops below 0.0C it reads -170.5C! Instead i take the temp and RH and enter them on this website to calculate dew point. http://www.decatur.d.../dew/index.html Is it my station or the website? I'd appreciate it if someone who has access to a dew point reading would use the website and let me know if it's correct. If so i'll be looking for a new station! MO showing heavy snow here for Saturday rather than Friday. Chances will be better than last night if the front positions right! -

Our lass will be pleased. She works at GoApe In Dalby! Always good up there. They have to climb the wires to open the course. Not nice climbing the zip wires when there's a few cm's of snow falling on your face from the wire! -

A really decent amount of heavy snow showers here today. Turned a little sleety around lunchtime but back to snow this afternoon. The showers this morning were heavy enough to leave a covering which melted each time between the showers. Nothing disruptive but lovely to see massive flakes coming down in the heavier showers. Still forecast showers tonight too, though lighter than earlier the temp should have dropped enough for them to give another dusting. Ruddy marvellous to see the sun in between the showers too. It actually feels quite pleasant and warm when you're in the sunlight. Any laying snow didn't stand a chance! Here's a pic from one of the heavy showers this morning after the nights snowfall had melted there was no snow on the ground at all 10 mins before taking this. -

Grand view of the wolds slopes this morning. Wight over. Woke up by a mega shower last night, hail, snow, gusty wind and a rumble of thunder thrown in for good measure! a complete white out! T'was reet grand! Looks like the rest of the showers were of snow as nothing else woke me up and we have around 3-4cm's cover. Wind really dropped here too allowing the temp to drop of enough to freeze everything. Temp is now 1.0C, RH 80% with a dew point of -1.8. Squally showers forecast for the rest of this morning before turning lighter this afternoon and overnight. My sister in law is heading back from Gibraltar today too! She's gonna be freezing! Awww, damn gritters just been past. Bye bye snow!! -

Had a decent snow shower about half hour ago. Left a nice covering which has since melted. Forecast looks great here overnight and tomorrow, just need the temp a bit lower for the snow to stick around and accumulate a bit. Temp 1.5C. Dew Point -1.9C -

Aye, Iv'e noticed that before. This time though the humidity rose from 34% to 50% during the shower so it was already very low. Whether that's accurate or not i'm not sure. Never recorded humidity that low before. Had quite a few decent showers today. Started as heavy snow then progressively turned sleety. Temp now 2.7C, RH 73% = Dew point of -1.4C. A rather interesting forecast on the MO for tomorrow..... -

Hammering it down here in Scarborough. Proper snow too. Laying well and a few mega showers heading this way on the radar. Makes up for the dissapointment on missing the bulk of the showers the last couple of days. Temp has risen to 2.2C with dew point of -6.4C. -

A couple of decent showers blown in in the last half hour. I'm so used to it being marginal on the coast, Iv'e not seen snow like this for a long time, It's really dry and powdery, Really swirling about in the wind. Not laying great, I'm expecting a 10 foot drift at the bottom of the street when i go past because that's where it looks like it's all headed! ! Checking back at the radar the Wolds look to have done well overnight and some in other parts of Scarborough reporting a couple of cm's. Very hit and miss. -

Light showers still, Not amounting to much yet. Very powdery type of snow due to very low dew points. Temp 1.1C. Humidity 25% (Not sure if that's accurate! Seems very low). Dew point -14.9C! Hopefully showers will pick up soon as pointed out above. -

Decent snow shower here in Scarborough now. Very dry snow blowing about but settling nicely. It's very nice not having to worry about marginality for once! Keep em coming -

It's stopped raining here now and the wind has strengthened quite a bit. Temp starting to drop too. colder air must be arriving with the front clearing. Temp 2.1C with Dew point 1.9C. According to the meto's warning the showers tomorrow and Monday will organise themselves into bands of snow. Hopefully we end up under a few of them. Climbed Snowdon last weekend. Would not like to be at the top of there the next couple of days!!! -

Light snow here but not amounting to much. Main shower activity seems to be just north of here. -

A cracking day here now after the low cloud and fog cleared. Temp now 7.9C. There's still a few patches of snow about from yesterday. It's looking increasingly likely winter isn't done with us yet too. Most models going for an Easterly mid to late next week. Worth keeping an eye on. Just had an Amber alert from Aurora watch sent to my inbox. Will be worth checking the sky tonight if it stays clear! http://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/ -

Absolutely hammering down. Surprisingly enough it's not all rain yet. Icy rain and hail rattling on the back door for the last half hour and still quite a few snowflakes blowing about. Lost snowcover on the road now but still a decent covering on the grass and rooftops. Temp rising and now at 0.6C with dew point of 0.4C. -

Same down here! The cold surface air is desperately clinging on -0.2C here and the second band has brought back the very odd icy rain which has left a solid sheet of ice on my front windows! It's starting to melt off now but i have given in and put the heating on! -

Just been outside! (I am brave!). We've got 5cm's and some decent drifts too. It's still tipping down with what i can only describe as frozen rain. Looks like rain but it's freezing on contact with surfaces. Window is coated with ice from it. Never seen that before! Temp is -0.6C with a dew point of -0.8C. -

Wow, hammering down now! The back edge of the band has really intensified. Just before hitting us -

Been alright here! Just had a couple of hours of moderate snowfall with heavier bursts blowing in horizontally! a real decent covering, but hard to judge cos of the drifting. Temp dropped from 1.5C to -1.1C when the front arrived. Still at -1.1C now and still coming down decently. -

A few light flurries here today. Bitterly cold under a sheet of grey skies and a freezing breeze! Temp 2.7C with a dew point of -7.4C. Looks like a few hours of snow here tomorrow evening. After rush hour thankfully! -

Just rain here today and temp hovered around 3C. Can't say i'm disappointed though cos there's only been 1.5mm's! Would hardly have been worth it! Interestingly the humidity has taken a dive in the last half hour and has dropped to 85%. Temp is 2.7C giving a dew point of 0.4C. Wind picking up too so may be a surprise yet! -

No chance of anything here today, or the coming days for that matter! Even the showers seem to have disappeared from the forecast. Bit of a shame but we have been spoilt here this winter! Temp risen to 2.0C, after an overnight low of -1.4C. dew point 1.8C.
