something is falling in Hornsea!!

I am not actually sure what to call it. Its not snow but its frozen but tiny tiny flakes melting on impact.

I guess its a start !!

Enjoy your snow all of you, your all so lucky seriously thinking about sticking the kids in the car and driving towards the snow if it doesn't happen over the next few day nice walk in the countryside somewhere will do us the world of good

I think I will be doing the same!! Seems we wont have far to travel though lol

Hours and hours of heavy snow under those streamers! 

I bet my life on that being wrong as hornsea is right under it. The weather gods will currently be scrambling to change its course

Hahaha! Keeps us entertained doesn't it!

I'm sure Grimsby and the East coast will do good with showers over the coming days. Im hopeful your snow drought may be about to end. The air is so cold it should allow snow to fall right on the coast this time

I will hold you to that!!!

Yes me too in hornsea. We really ought to move away from the coast if we love snow so much ... or spend our winters in the Alps

The upgrade from the Euro4 is very welcome, seemed really strange when watching some of the precipitation models blasting quite intensive streamers/bands into the coast for them to just disappear and make no progress inland. They’re bound to be surprises during this spell and I would imagine upgrades. Can’t wait!!!

And they look gone out at you when you try explaining a precipitation radar is a lot more reliable than app.

That’s a joke.  How is that possible with an easterly.  Just goes to show how crap the presipitation charts are

as others have said in these situations best to just look out of the window and forget computers LOL

hi

Seems a bit odd that Icon has literally nothing on the East side by monday 9am all the way from North East Right down to the Wash?

That seems a massive area of Yorkshire right near the easterly to get Zilch?

Are we assuming it doesnt factor in showers?

Been a regular visitor here but never posted.  Anybody know if Pateley Bridge will see any snow Saturday night?  We've had 3 falls so far this winter but

not had as much as the rest of Yorkshire so far.  We seem to be sheltered from major dumpings here!

I am not sure sorry i would have thought so as you are inland so not as marginal as coast here. Do you tend to get snow on easterlies usually?

At least you have had 3 falls lol  - here in Hornsea we have not even seen one flake this winter, just rain rain and more rain !

Confused about the Saturday night Low. Is it going to hit us or will it just be a SE phenomenon?

The cold looks to get sufficiently entrenched that I'd be shocked if the entire region didn't at least get a moderate covering  with the potential for some memorable depths for those who get under the 'streamers'.

This could well be an extended period too - the models are starting to toy with height rises to the north of us which might be enough to send the Atlantic lows to the south of the country. Either way, a very exciting week or so ahead!

fingers crossed!!! if i miss out totally in hornsea it doesnt look like i will have too far to drive to find some snow LOL

Quite often, the medium range, lower resolution models struggle with things like surface temperatures and snow depths etc right next to the coasts. This is because their resolution is low enough that the grid square for some locations on the coast may actually be 99% in the sea, which obviously really messes with the output (snow doesn't tend to settle on the sea very often!). Higher resolution models shouldn't have as much of a problem with this though, so as things come into range of more of those then you should start to see a more true picture. 

Welcome to the forum by the way  

Thank you for the reply - and the welcome   that makes sense!! I have lived here a few years but having moved from high up in west yorkshire its very different here. We have had snow here in last few years namely the 2018 "beast from the east" but it was only a few cm's. I will keep my fingers crossed that we may finally be in a good position with this current setup

Hi there

can any experts shed any light on why all the models seem to show Hornsea area getting pretty much nothing? We are right on the east coast which looks like it should be a good place to get snow from an easterly but yet all the forecast maps that people are posting show hardly anything? As an avid snow lover I have spent the last few weeks seeing family in south and west yorkshire posting all their snow pics and now I finally think its our time and we should have a really good chance being right in the east, all the maps pretty much show zilch for here but again south and west yorkshire showing loads of snow? any ideas?
