Yorkshire, Lincolnshire And The Pennines Cold Spell Discussion

[grab my graupel]

Hi GMG,

It sure is 1-0 to the NMM, i think it's a fantastic model on net weather-extra, extremely handy/usefull and packed full of features.

I knew earlier when comparing the NMM to the normal res 06z precip chart that the precipitation won't reach it this far.

Yep, it performed exceptionally well during the last wintry

episode. It's a very useful tool indeed

[fazzafarrand]

The PPN is just in Leeds, anyone in South Leeds got anything to report? Raintoday is showing sleet.

Rain!!!!

[grab my graupel]

Does net-weather sell weather stations in its store, i know they sell books. I don't think they do but perhaps its an idea they could look into. As quite a few members are always interested in weather stations.

I'll find out Mark

[Cheese Rice]

If I'm honest I don't really cares if it rains or snows, probably because the heating is on full and it's making me drowsy.....

[Mark Bayley]

I'll find out Mark

Thanks I already have one but i know quite a few members are always asking. Would be good to have the net-weather store selling them for those members who may be interested in them.

ECM on the way out, will it be as good as the GFS in the short term. Hopfully it will be better in the long term unlike the GFS!

More central Leeds than south but can only just make out that something is falling by standing out side and feeling it fall on my face. Can't reallt make anything out on the lampost. Will update if anything changes but here on fairly low ground (wortley) I wouldn't be expecting anything more than a wintry mix unless the precip beefs up a bit.

Regards

Craig

Certainly is! shame its not very reliable. ECM, GEM, GFS and UKMO are the main models for me so hopefully the ECM will come out with something good The GME is also good as well (short term). Hopfully some snowshowers for all of us over the coming days

Temp has risen by 0.1c, now 1.8c, been like that for last 40 minutes, dew points are still dropping, at 0.c now. Hardly encouraging but could be worse.

Something was falling outside of the sky a few mins ago, enough so that I could see it from the lamp post, am guessing hail.

[Lion]

I'll find out Mark

I'd certainly purchase one I rely on grandmas barometer at the moment, it's erring more on being sleet now

OMG what a stunning ECM upto +168 so far :o

[The PIT]

Light Rain continuing Beeb and local forecast still embarrassing themselves about heavy snow. Must be confusing windchill with dew point.

It surely is. We would certainly see a bit snow with that one. Very cold out T216

Yeah amazing ECM and it will be interesting to see the ensembles later.

[summer blizzard]

Looks like precipitation has now reached the west of western Yorkshire, according to www.raintoday.co.uk it is all falling as snow and should be falling all over the region within the next hour.

Lampost/car roof/windscreen watch here shows sleet at the moment.

I expect to see some snow reports coming from western parts of our region (Peak district, pennine areas). Still to mild for us on lower ground.

Just about the same elevation as you,where abouts in Hudds are you?Some fun and games a little later,hopefully.

[Richie V]

I'm at 330 ft, mostly rain with occasional sleet outbursts, temp risen from 1.89c to 2.29c in the last 30 mins.

Yep, been snowing here for about an hour now. Temp. pretty static at the moment at 0.3C, with DP of -1.7C. Was briefly sleety to begin with but turned to snow pretty quickly. Not really heavy though. Maybe later ?

[Cheese Rice]

This front is taking the mick, its just not doing anything, the radar shows it just stuck over South Yorkshire and not budging, I'm very doubtfull that the front will get any further north which would make the GFS and the METO wrong.

Over at Golcar. Still sleet, but the flakes are more noticeable now.

Would be nice to have another covering, but unsure if it will happen.

Unfortunately, my weather station temp indicator got wet in the summer and is stuffed, so I can't track temps or DPs.

Grr just steady light rain here. Due point edged back up 1.3c.

[Cheese Rice]

Very wet snow falling here.

Edit: Am very surprised how the band didn't move for an hour and has suddenly pushed quite quickly north.
