Suprised how little snow melt there was today considering it was clear blue sky for majority of the day. Still almost got full cover in garden not ready for any spring like weather just yet save it till to end of March April time. Average and dry will do if cant stay cold 8 or 9 will feel very pleasant anyway temps in teens are just wrong at this time of year. Personally want more snow tbh and be nice to have an coldish winter and not be ruined by expectionally mild end to Feb even an average winter be nice.

Got to an bone chilling -1 last night though were not exactly known for really low temps here and we did have alot of cloud cover to. Beautiful sunshine now cant beat days like this expecting an rapid thaw of snow though sure most in shade will survive couple of days though.

Few flurries on and off this morning now snowing bit heavier with decent size flakes offsetting the thaw the sun was making.

It was more in regards to having to wait that long for snow. We have done ok here but wouldnt regard it as an classic so far so close if showers had being more intense and prolonged could have easily got 10 to 15cms possibly more. But hey the weather will do what it wants and just pleased to have an decent fall and who knows might be an few more pleasant suprises yet.

Pleased but grim at same time even low lying area's of East Yorkshire should expect at least an min fall of 5 to 10 cms most winters much more in good ones and im including the coast in that to.

Nice shower passed through with big flakes but only lasting 5 or 10 mins just need them most now to minimise any melt once the sun comes out.

Few of here before the sun gets to work on the snow will take this but us it greedy for wanting or expecting more?

That couldnt be any closer to us sky gone dark fingers crossed

Nice covering of snow here near Hull but nothing special least it nice to hear that crunchy sound when you walk on it. Cant help but feeling this has being abit of an missed opportunity though depending what happens from here but beggers cant be choosers let hope there little melt today and hangs around.

Getting better

Hopefully will get an decent streamer in next few hours considering the last few hours of snow have not really added much if any depth cant seem to get decent amount to settle these days .

Do the last two count as drifts haha shame everything passing through is patchy and light and when gets heavier last an few minutes then sun back out.

So far hardly narnia but better then nowt

Snow on and off through most of this morning but no real intensity to them and only last 10 or 15 mins got an good covering but nowt significant. Sun making attempt to come out early days but has 2018 vibe about it where we get big gaps in the showers and no real depth. Hopefully will get under an streamer that lasts at least an hour to put down few cms. Still long way to go yet and certainly beats crappy cold or mild rain anytime.

No agree i very much doubt it just made me chuckle.

What more worrying for East Yorkshire the radar showing some rain for here during parts of day cant be right surely? Just need some big flakes and for it to last longer then 10 or 15 mins get an decent covering.

Snow on and off all night due to the wind and it being really fine no great depth just an covering and the showers dont really last long or are intense long enough. Yes it better then cold rain or sleet anyday but be nice to see some larger flakes and hopefully some greater depths let see what today brings.

Remember Dec 2009 think it was about week before christmas Saturday evening we hit the bullseye with an streamer in Hull biggest flakes ever seen lasted an couple of hours i remember it well was an christmas night out in Hull city centre. Was an nightmare getting home think i was in t shirt to wouldnt dare do that these days not that we can go out. What is the best wind direction for snow would it be ENE flow usually the holy grail here or NE winds

Agreed if we get few cms be happy anything else is bonus 2018 was strange i think we got bit more then 1cm but the snow seem to dissapear inbetween falls even though was subzero maybe the strong winds it like it just evoparated. We can dream of feb 86 or 91 shame i was to young to remember both aslong as it doesnt turn out like Feb 2005 though that was way more marginal then this

North sea temps are roughly around 6c surely -8 and -9 uppers will produce snow even at coast fingers crossed of something decent 5 to 10cms of snow and would be more then happy probably

Hope so i have followed these forums for years and always enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions espcially in the modal thread. I wont take anything for granted till snow falls out of sky Easterlies have gone tits up within 72 hours before. Be happy with 5 or 10cms sticking around for few days not much to ask.

Getting pretty tiresome now though this isnt it. York had an good covering 2nd time for them simliar altitude is it just the fact there further inland? why do these events always go against us here in lowland East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire 9 times out of 10 were 20 odd miles away from coast but right on the humber.

Need to move to west coast snowed an few times in Blackpool and was snowing again this morning though i doubt it settled. Has being pretty dismal so far great if you like cold rain and sleet though. Still not convinced by this Easterly if this goes tits up will firmly be in spring mode the daffs are slowly starting to poke there head out the ground now.

Same all winter suspect you will do better then here but looks another bust anywhere low lying within 20 odd miles of the coast. Cant say to fussed if going to turn rain anyway and cba to get up at 5am on off chance might get few flakes. Though local forecasts have mentioned chance of snow at low levels so who knows might get an suprise.

Dont get excited by anything till i see snow actually falling out the sky. I know nothing about the models and chart watching but until all three main models are in agreement within 24 hours then i dont buy it and even then liable to go belly up. Just hope people on the East Coast and low lying area's get to join in fun this time if anything happens of course. I still think were more likely to get an record breaking warm spell in Feb. But hopefully get an Feb like 86 or 91 lol can dream
