Imp81

Working in Bawtry near Donny light snow on and off odd heavier burst, least its wintry though hope its not only snow of the season

Looking at the radar there's a few features drifting up from below our region, perhaps a i may be able to report on seeing a flake (not one in a newsagents)

Certainly looking more optimistic for some of us up here than the dross we have been having be typical for the block to strengthen and repel fronts short of our region

True to be said Hudsons always keen to dismiss cold lol im sure he would find a way to deny snow even if the M62 was closed, though an ex presenter now Rob McElwee on the national news was brilliant for giving us hints of anything exciting i half expected to see him appear in ski wear lol

was that a sage bush i just saw blowing down main street in the forum still plenty of winter left...ish, missing the updates on snow and pics we usually get on here in a winter, still some optimism in the model thread though my resolve to bother viewing is being tested

Our hopes are being kept alive, an upturn of sorts in the models heres hoping the ECM continues as last nights....(crosses all extremities)

Think it will end up beyond Prozac the way its going, and certainly sleeping tablets with the nightmare thats unfolding models becoming a what might of been horror show lol

Grrr the will it or won't it saga continues hoping for a bit of a backtrack on todays runs GEM excepted which still maintained a decent outcome, i should know better and not do the fall into the trap of knee jerk reactions to runs but you end up caught in the thread, gonna need the infamous prozac soon

Theres a bit of wet snow in it by the look of it but only for altitude, however next week hopefully we can all get in on the action proper

Crikey nearly cross model agreement on some seasonal weather and in the nearly reliable time frame, hoping the pattern backs West a little more and up here we shall be in the firing line nicely, the SE bias often clouds what may be quite decent for us up here in model thread, though i guess we all clamour for the cold this time of the year so can't grumble, just hope theres sufficient flow to bring showers in if it happens and not too slack, though getting carried away and may yet implode if the low doesn't go under the block, so reasons to be cheerful tonight

I think the trouble is our forecasters are scared of mentioning snow due to the ridiculous overreaction and vitriol that gets spouted as its never taken in context, i hope i'm wrong but i can see cold and lots of grey skies and some light snow showers and graupel kind of situation but some days genuinely struggling much above freezing a bit like last winters not quite there easterly , all speculation as there's lots of flip flopping and detail to be resolved, would love a more potent form of cold

i think we managed a half baked bit of ice in a place or two but i envy you, think i'm going to deice the freezer onto the lawn to remember what its like

Its so dire even a proper frost will be the height of wintry excitement, i keep telling myself only early Jan plenty of time heres hoping the pattern change of the ECM is a slow burner but a good one when it comes (if it comes and not another wild goose chase)

Well the wet snow never really materialised unless with any notable altitude though perhaps i was being optimistic for us generally (knew i was too far East for anything, though brief bit of sleet last night) woke to find treacherous roads though with a very bizarre patchy frost, local council were caught with their pants down methinks and been a chilly feeling 6 degrees at most here, that's one thing that can frustrate in the model thread is peoples perception of mild or rather not making it clear if they are referring to meteorological terms temp wise or real world mild as whilst its no cold spell its chilly i would call mild above 10 degrees, might i add lets hope things angle towards HLB chances with the PJF to go holiday south as progged in the models, maybe a nice 91 style setup would be good

Heres hoping some of our region have some falling snow over the coming week, no notable accumulations but hey a little interest and seasonal at least, admittedly won't stick or hang around with the flip flopping temps between systems coming in, but seems we have the possibility if the intensity is there and you have a bit of altitude

The winds really starting to gust now here, dread to think for a little later..., and in theory work in it hmmmmm

What a grim old soggy day hovering around 9 though felt chiller in the oppressive drizzle, some chilly bright days will be a relief working outside in it, though a touch depressed at the event downgrading even a few flurries or near zero days would have made it interesting well would have made for an easy working week anyway (being on salary in winter can be great) just hoping there's no return to zonality, though the models seem to be edging towards a hp scenario with potential for an easterly based incursion heres hoping though theres more flip flopping than a summer day at Cleethorpes

After feeling a chill in the air i have appeared back on here in all seriousness whilst a bit grim (and i work outside) it made a refreshing change to feel a bite to the wind, very autumnal day near Doncaster with nagging light rain, willing away September as whilst it can happen i'm eagerley anticipating the first proper frost, though i'm having an Autumn break in North wales in mid October so it can be unseasonably mild that week

a raw day working in the Lincolnshire wolds, still some decent snow drifts clinging on in places and a brisk gusting wind making my job difficult hovering around 6 degrees

Seems to be a never ending winter, snow flurries again today and whilst i love cold weather and snow even my resolve is dwindling, 3 degrees here today no snow cover ashen grey skies and watching the showers of substance float by further North, i think its been an interesting winter but lacked any true excitement for around here no decent falls of snow really nor extremes of temperature merely chilly, but better than mild muck. Good to see at least some of you guys doing well though, always been N Yorks or Western Yorks this year for the best excitement this season, always the fringes for us lot tho but hey 6-7 mths and back to the hunt again

how bizarre,Netweather V6 is showing bulk of region under a large pink blob, if only it meant more than a few crumby flakes blowing in the wind

well caught a few showers overnight but the winds blown it into the cracks and corners like some rash everywhere

Upside though not going to be much is the showers are interlinked a bit so whilst light may mean a dusting by pure longetivity

light snow shower passing through though here and very gusty winds got up it seems
