Yes, we get it. You find the temperature predictions a joke etc, no need to harp on about it. FYI, I'm at 190m in Sheffield and my temperature is at 1.1oC

Oh yes, thanks! Says heavy snow at midnight then light snow for a few hours after so could be a slight top up in order!

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, where is the chance of a little top up tonight coming from? Can't see anything on the GFS or NAE so can anybody point me in the right direction? Cheers!

He he he he

PS. So much for the southerly correction and front struggling to reach Yorkshire!

Coming down heavier again now ... temperature down to -0.3oC and settling quite nicely, even on the roads.

Temp now exactly 0 oC .... no thawing for me

Pepping up again here in Sheffield, temperature of 0.2oC and dropping, struggling to settle on the roads (I am at around 190m asl btw). Not sure what people are expecting in terms of settling on the roads right now, if you had actually looked at the charts you would have notice that the highest ground and 850hpa temperatures were progged for early afternoon so ties in well with that ... it was from the later afternoon onwards that these begin to drop and settling will become much easier!

All very true, there have been southwards corrections of the second front but looking at the GFS accumulative PPN charts, these consistently show the highest totals being in N Wales and N.Midlands/S.Yorks with less the further north and east you go.Even with further slight corrections I cannot see these areas changing much, and most especially being corrected far enough south to see the SE taking the brunt of any snowfall.

You sure?

Ahhh I'm mistaken, it's just a normal comprehensive apparently, in Bakewell She was born in 1991 so might have been a little after you!

Is Lady Manners an all school? ...Sorry to go off topic but I think my uni friend went to that school!

Obviously showers can be hit and miss but it is different to last time, a much stronger easterly flow with slightly lower uppers will bring better convective potential than the last one. Stop stressing.

Been a weird old winter so far ... but it looks like south and west yorkshire could be prime locations for sunday/monday once more! Could also do quite well from the convection coming off the north sea afterwards!

The radar has actually switched round to look pretty good for Sheffield now with that nice stream of intense ppn coming up from wales with no hills to block its path! ... Temperature of exactly 00C here.

Snowing moderately here in SE Sheffield ... the temperature has dropped to -0.1 aswell, perfect! .... I shall continue my snow dance to the powers that be. (interspersed between essay writing and revision of course)

Can we both pray for a snow miracle? I have an exam tomorrow at SHU and I have done VERY little revision! ... C'mon snow! lol

Heavy ppn brings down the freezing level.

Not sure why people are complaining of a thaw. Granted at very low lying levels and towards the coast temperatures will be above freezing, but anywhere inland and especially with slight elevation should still be around, or below freezing (it is here). You can expect icicles forming, there is alot of heat being generated from your house! It is a good sign the icicle is forming because if it was much above freezing there wouldn't be one at all .... You also have to consider roads and pavements where cars are heating the area and people are compacting the snow and spreading around grit from their shoes etc.

Still snowing lightly in SE Sheffield ... Tbh, can't see that much accumulating here considering the intensity and the fact that it's already at 0.4 oC and I'm at approx 190m asl.

Not in this instance .... Just finer (so may look like sleet) here as we are receiving lighter precipitation ... Temperature still -2.1 here in SE Sheff albeit I'm at around 190m asl but still a relatively urban area.

Still snowing slightly in SE Sheffield ... A little worried about it decreasing in intensity as it passes the Pennines but think part of the reason why it's heavier to the north is the orientation of the warm front and when the cold front catches up should give it a little more oomph ... Still, the temp is -2.1 so colder than I expected!!

Yeah, some heavier stuff went just to the east of me ... still, at least it's snowing and about a cm or two at the moment ! ... hoping the snow sticks around until the morning but that may be wishing abit too much for us !

Temp still dropping here ... at -0.2 atm with lightish ppn.

The 12z isn't a great run for snow prospects for most of us from midweek onwards ... However, let's wait for the UKMO and ECM as the 12z GFS is quite different to the 06z with the low to the SW of the UK at T+93 being 16mb lower (992 to 976). Be interesting to see what the ensemble say about this too.
