  1. Haven't been on here since the winter blast, thought i'd pop in to see how people are enjoying the recent weather...but looks like I haven't missed much with our Adam!

     

    Definitely been cool here today until the sun broke through mid-afternoon...hopefully looking forward to some thunderstorms...

     

     

    Yup, same here, saw Adams post and pretty much started crying!

  2. I decided not to venture out, except to walk the dog on the Westwood and shovel my inch of snow away biggrin.png Ok, OK but my excuse is in case it freezes later. Also had a nice snowy zephyr when I was out.

    The 1079 to Market Weighton over Arras Hill is always good for drifts and I have seen six footers up there on occasion. No doubt they can be bigger but I have never seen anything like the 20 foot drifts I saw at home Wales in 1978 and 1982 and I doubt I ever will again.

    Still, really interesting weather and we are back below freezing again....

    The 1079 was immense, will pop the pics up later.

    NW Radar shows the band slowly edging up the east but most models show the band just sitting were it is and not budging!

  3. Interesting to day with around 3cm of snow on the ground early this morning - I got my 20th snow day and a 21st is now looking likely although it wasn't this morning. The temp has dropped about 0.5 degrees from mid morning and is now -0.1°C but the DP has dropped by more than a degree to -3.1°C and this has stopped the thaw in its tracks and dried everything out.

    Not sure if we will get any more snow but there is a feature on the NW radar that is now North of Cromer that is heading this way and has been since this morning. Snow King over on the model thread has been hinting that the LP over France may move North up the N Sea and I am wondering whether this is in fact the first signs of this. If so, we will get a lot more snow along the East Coast; unlike this amazing event in all honesty.

    I too think things have changed winter-wise over the last four years or so but I am at a loss as to why. Some kinda multi-decadal cycle I suspect but, if this is correct, another hum-dinger like 1962 must be becoming more likely in the next few years given the synoptics we have been getting in the last few. All it will require is for the pieces to come together at the right time of the year rather than in November and March.

    Time will tell.

    Amazin isnt it, i just been up to Market Weighton & Newbald and nearly every road is covered with 5-10 foot drifts, found a corsa buried completely!

    Indeed it looks very likely that the east coast will get an absolout hammering later if that LP shifts slightly north!

  4. Harsh climate please look at bbc graphics. There good for our region. Fantastic. But where is it? Is that over the midlands not going to stall before here.??? Met have warning well north than here and nae well into north east. So what's happening?

    I have to say i think you are probably one of the rudest and most arrogant person i have met, do you ever read your posts back, i mean seriously grow some!
