Snow Watch: N&W Yorks, Northern & North East England

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Here she comes...

Bet you don't say that too often.

The radar looks good for pretty much all of N and NE England for the next few hours. Lets enjoy it :lol:

Take care

Got between 3 and 4 inches covering here now after some really potent snow and hail showers this morning with a couple more rumbles of thunder as well.

Couldn't believe shaffer-nackers on the bbc forecasting half a metre for the penines tonight. :lol:

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

Judging by the latest Meteox radar I would suggest that it will be a struggle to keep any trans-Pennine routes open in a few hours time, probably including the M62. Exciting indeed !

[Gray-Wolf]

I think it'll come in across the M62 line so we'll all get it at once (roughly) instead of waiting downstream of the Guy who's having the shower. Looks to be 1/2 an hour away and ,if the meto radar is to be believed, looks likely to start heavy and carry on that way!!! Perfect for rush hour

EDIT: Talking to the guys from Hull and west really.....Oon will be delayed...but then.....

Thats a mighty wedge of snow on the latest radar,i think somewhere around Appleby could get 51 cm out of this.

[Yeti]

This is definitely further W than expected. We need a pivot if Eern Pennine areas are to be badly affected. Currently it looks like heading right into Lancs!

The plains Indians had a 'snow saying'

"Little flakes,big flakes, big snow. Big flakes, little flakes,small snow"

I wonder if they are right??? Small flakes here and blustery.

Hi all,Brian or indeed Nigel.....may we have a new thread for tonights event?

I wonder if the blob out in the north sea will make landfall?! It does seem further west, so maybe the stuf out to sea will hit us

Bloody hell!

Still at work (Just south of bradford). Heavy snow falling here now.

[kickaha49]

Sleet/rain reported down the east coast, and Hull, already, which is very disappointing. Poor forecasting it must be said - this easterly has been a huge let down for some NE areas.

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

I'm not sure what constitutes an official blizzard, but it's certainly snowing very heavily now. Took a quick vid out of the window (warning - it's nearly 4 Mb):

Just to your west here and the bad news is the 'plume' of heavy stuff (on the meto radar) has now turned 'pink' as it approaches us......s'not for stopping any time soon!!

EDIT: Hi Pennine! just watched your vid and can confirm we're getting the same:) The winds really blowing it around so we should have some nice 'snow sculptures' by the morning!!!

Its been pretty dissapointing in Newcastle upon tyne so far. Had some, but not much and its pretty wet. Hope the main band moving north delivers some prolonged snow

Yeah, bad news for The Climate Change Industry.

It is looking pretty special!

Thankfully I brought all my hiking gear including water proof trousers and hiking boot to work so I can walk the 4 miles home if it gets too bad to drive.

For some reason I didn't fancy cycling in this morning.

[Yeti]

This is sooo unfair! The heaviest stuff has gone right to the S

[Lakes Tom]

Yeah pretty heavy in Leeds city centre now.....All schools run by Bradford Education closed tomorrow.......Beers for me tonight.....Let it snow, let it snow..........

Hi there G-W, yes, looking forward to a good walk up on the tops tomorrow, should be very good ! Really enjoying this, and guessing you are too

Cheers Rollo - maybe at long last my monicker will be accurate
