Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[mcfcben]

Hi guys

glad to see Hull got a pasting, when i lived there it rarely snowed

west of the pennines in manchester is getting absolutely hammered with snow at the moment, hopefully some of it manages to get over the pennines to your way

[Lewis]

I think there's a good chance that today will be an ice day don't you

I dunno, temps rapidly risen to -0.6c !!! barmy, that's 2 consecutive days the temp has shot up.

dew of -3.3c though

Yeah i can vouch for that, there was a guy from Nottingham the other year that said he had 4-5 inches when it was 1 at best, i picked up on it and he ended up arguing with me and i ended up with a 7 day ban, or was it a 2 month ban

LOL

haha sad isnt it, youd think they wud be happy that they have snow.

11am radar showed precipitation start to clump together, i think this should make it across the pennines.

[Terminal Moraine]

We just seem to be in direct firing line here at the moment,the scenes just west of here around settle and ingleton will be amazing with all the snow that fell on thursday and friday.

What are the local roads like, Chrissy? One of my work colleagues is travelling up to Gargrave later this afternoon for 10 days holiday.

its that westerly flow mate, the shower clouds have reached here but not keeping intensity and temp is 0.8c!

[Lewis]

haha sad isnt it, youd think they wud be happy that they have snow.

Exactly mate, the other night when everything missed me, i got a 0.5cm to 1cm dusting in places.

I was happy with that! Better than nothing, then you get peeps that over do their estimations by miles, when questioned spit their dummies out and then you get some that get a pasting when others miss out, then when they miss out with 4 inches already on the ground, they get jealous and start cursing lmfao!

we might be suprised mate! not convinced till it happens though with last night

[reef]

2 inches across the board with drifting in places, and my back garden for example is 1cm off 3 inches.

Defenetly more than 4cm

If you hold your rular diagonally Im sure it is

LOL

But isnt that exactly what you are doing now? Claiming 3 inches now when from your pictures its quite obviously not and 10" in Dec 2005? Come on.

You'll never be banned on here for having an argument/debate with someone, it is after all a forum.

hehe spot on, Its swings and round abouts at the end of the day. Collectively in this country we all do poor for snow, but every known n again most of us get a good event. Best just enjoy it when its your turn and be glad for others when its there turn.

I think today while west n south yorkshire should do best, all over areas should see some further snow

[R0b]

Morning All,

Got down to a staggering -7 in Anlaby, Hull.

You ok Lewis?

The temp is at -3c here now mate, so im pretty confident of an ice day here

[SnowRules]

Don't know where you was Dec 2005 then, when i was staying out at leven/catwick area then at the miss's we had drifts upto 1 and half feet with a good feet of snow level, cant you remember when the -10 850's where over us as a heavy area of precip came from the west?

I'm not arguing with you Reef, if you read my messages clearly i said 2 inches quite widely with DRIFTS of almost 3 inches especially in my garden.

And Reef, i did get banned lol... trust me

Frustrating isn't it

There's some beefy showers which look like they *might* make it across the pennines and give Sheffield a direct hit *fingers crossed*

We were sickeningly close at home yesterday. The temperature rose to 0.1C for literally 10 minutes. I couldnt believe it.

[Just Before Dawn]

Approximately 4cm of snow fell overnight here, followed by a very minor thaw which then froze to leave the morning extremely icy. Down to -5.7c overnight but now up to a relatively tropical -2.1c, all in all very nice, and this event, after a less-than promising start has really delivered.

Pictures for Reef; (Back garden)

Off to morrisons in a sec, so talk to you all later.

You guys in the West and S Yorkshire, i hope you get a pasting today! Good luck
