Big difference with height. Broomhill covered over again, city centre has very wet snow that doesn't want to stick - same leaving city along railway lines. Looks very pretty though with the big soft flakes.
-
That sun doesn't half make a difference when it comes out. Feels much more pleasant and I was amazed how much snow cover is disappearing off the fields from the vantage point of the Sheff - Wakefield train. Even at S10 a bit higher up there has been a slightly more noticeable thaw even with a couple of relatively heavy snow showers this morning.
-
Still plenty of lying snow in S10 but if my eyes don't deceive me I think there must have been some relatively noticeable thaw, where you can tell on bin lids, walls, outside table etc. Surprised me to see it actually as it didn't feel warm enough for any particular thaw today! Can anyone confirm/cast doubt upon my utterly unscientific observations with any data?
On the train back from wakefield fields and football pitches had started to just peek out from under the snow too, which has made me think there has been some loss of cover at lower levels too.
What's the situation around our region, will we have a white Easter, or will it be restricted to the peaks?!
-
Anyone got any news on any thawing or otherwise? According to the Western Park weather observatory, Sheffield has had between about 200 - 400 MW/m of solar radiation today. Not sure how strong that is, but when I looked yesterday it was hovering around 100MW/m (right near the bottom of the scale) so am guessing that this represents a reasonable increase and thus will impact upon snow cover somewhat.
I'm in Wakefield at the moment, a bit of grass outside my wnidow seems to have begun a slow receding of the snow cover in patches and paths, roads etc are clearly beginning to thaw out (though these have almost certainly seen human intervention either through gritting or footfall).
Would be interested on how elevation is affecting the process. Back in S10 I can see snow lying on untouched grass for a good week given the current weather (that is about 140m elevation), even in the sun. Has anyone down nearer sea level seen any more rapidity to the loss of snow cover?
-
Would I be right,with my little knowledge, in thinking that it is set very cold here but as it stands (at a very preliminary stage) we look like keeping dry round here next weekend, whilst the sout will probably get a lot of snow?
I know enough to know that nobody knows at this stage, really, but am certainly hoping we can avoid too much more significant snow!
-
Would I be correct in thinking that the models pretty much have it cold, easterly wind and dry for anywhere outside the South of England for the forseeable future, with a probable snow event over the Easter Weekend that should be more of a 'clipping' of the bottom of the UK rather than a full-on frontal assault such as that we saw this weekend?
Thus snow chance, but probably restricted to the south of the UK (certainly well below the midlands)?
Still relatively new to this so trying to keep learning!
Also, would I be correct in thinking that these frontal incursions generally trend south closer to the time, thus the snow risk is once again likely to be relatively restricted to the bottom bit of the country..? (usual caveats about specifics of precipitation being impossible to pinpoint at this range notwithstanding).
-
There's about 6 inches on the fields around here drifts much more, I'm a couple of miles from owston. Would have thought it'd be gone even in the shade by next Sunday though?
Cheers! Am hoping so, though I guess it depends on whether any more decides to turn up!
-
Does anyone know what it's like Doncaster way? I'm supposed to be golfing at Owston on Easter Sunday, but if the snows anything like it is here in Sheffield (about 6 or 7 inches I would guess, level) the I'm not all that confident it will have disappeared in a week's time (before we event think about the possibility of any more falling!)! Unbelievable stuff.
-
Snow coming down pretty fast and settling in s10 - just near Sheffield University. Was settling on the main road up to Broomhill too when I got off the bus an hour ago. Would not like to be travelling anywhere tonight & will do very nicely indeed with the big bar of Fruit and Nut I've panic-bought! Might be forced to take a stroll for a curry though - who'd be a delivery man on nights like this?!
-
I'm supposed to be playing golf over the Easter Weekend!! I like a bit of snow as much as the next man but didn't think it'd be getting in the way when I booked the break a few weeks back! Really odd weather in March (according to my highly imperfect memory) - I've known the odd day of pretty intense snow, but generally it melts dead fast & doesn't look like happening this time round.
-
At the minute in Sheffield, dew point is around -1.5 with a temp of +2.1.
Anyone guess at how likely snow is for later on. I live ni S10 (up a hill from the centre) and am wondering whether I shuold be leaving work at normal time rather than wating til 9/9.20pm, (school teacher, should have a parents' evening!). Took me 2.5 hours door to door to get to work in Wakefield today (nearly all of that in Sheff, no snow at all here in WF!).
Any updates appreciated.

Just released from the Met Office
If that is correct then looks like Pennine flanking areas of Yorkshire could get a right battering, pretty much from west Sheffield northwards. I always suspect the tendency is to overplay these events (probably rightly) on behalf of the Met seeing that it's better for people to be well prepared. With the snow falling overnight, rather than at rush hour time (as has seemed to be the case here in Sheff recently) there could be some disruption tomorrow morning.
I'm in S10, slightly elevated towards the peaks so you just never know I suppose, will the big cloud happen to pass over or not?! Whatever happens it certainly beats more wind and rain!
-
Spot on. I'm actually surprised it reached this far. But Monday's event is a different type of set up, different ball game altogether.
If you don't mind me asking, what looks like happening monday (probabilities wise of course!).
Cheers.

Darn it! Suppose we were spoiled in 2010 so that's probably us done for the next decade! On the plus side, my chances of getting from Wakey back to Sheffield on Friday after work have just improved!

Would that model mean frost etc for the south of Spain?! Or is the sun so strong there that the upper air temperatures have very little effect?
