Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013>

[swfc]

look how the front skewers to the west as it reaches the pennines!!

[WeatherGuru2012]

Is it me or does the front look totally different to how they predicted? Its looks like its starting early for us in the west and south of region too. Could be a load of snow today for us

[Zak 92]

People who are complaining, just think its not forcast to reach here yet anyway...

We've done well again overnight with another covering. Slight thaw on roads before more showers headed in and covered us again. Sky gone black and it's starting again!

Temp -0.4C with Dew point of -0.5C.

Looking great for the rest of the day and tomorrow as long as the temp doesn't rise and turn it to rain!

PMP i am sick of of hearing about your piles of snow everyday lol

It's definatly further north east than predicted. I expect it to reach leeds by 1/2pm, which is a few hours earlier than it's currently forecasted.

Yes it seems to be moving alot quicker than forecast it is lightly snowing here in barnsley and its getting darker outside and wind is quite strong so quite a few surprises I think could be in store for some areas

I am west of Leeds in Kirklees so I reckon we could see it fall around 12ish? Then snow all through the night and early hours by the looks of the forecasts.

[Zak 92]

you should be down here, the sun is poking through the clouds, no sign of any snow now or later

just spoke to my sister on the phone, she is right on the south coast and even they have snow

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ you should check the radar its looking great for our area

[woldsowl]

Slight change in wind direction pushing showers further in now. Just started snowing again.

Yes definatly, it's moving in a fair bit quicker than I thought it would.

Yeh, isn't the front supposed to stall. I had it down for stalling across the west of uk like west midlands, and the south?

I can't tell where the front is going to go, it won't keep going east will it? Pushes north?

[Zak 92]

Anybody else think the whole front looks more solid than was expected? not spotting many gaps!

[Les Penniston]

15.00pm Local radio station for our area, then snow on and off through the night

I'd put money on formations starting to bubble up in the gap between the front and the coast similar to what popped up yesterday out of nowhere in the middle of the country..

[Mark Bayley]

Certainly getting closer. I'm hoping for a few cm's by the end of the day, even if it is going to be mostly light. Even if todays event does not go well, then theres always Sunday night! This one seems to be trending further west as well

Hahaha! We usually do so rubbish on the coast so this is Brill!! In fact this cold spell beats 2010 already here in terms of snow.

Just taken this -

Sorry !

[Machu Picchu]

The METO have it foggy for here until 3pm when the snow starts. Well it aint foggy and the front has reached Glossop so its only got to come over the Woodhead.

Its landed at Sheffield by the looks of it and its so nice to see all of that south of us being forced back up.

[WeatherGuru2012]

really hate the bbc forecasts, the snow precipitation looks nothing like the radar precipitation and looks nothing like how it will probably pan out...

Lovely jubley

[waynetheweatherman]

Looks like there could be snow tommorow most of the day if its right with some heavy burst too.

[The PIT]

Knocking on the door of my weather station but can't see anything on the live cams. So either it's too light or the radar is lying a little. http://www.sheffieldweather.co.uk/Live%20Weather.htm

Looking good PMP, looks like you're going to do ok from those streamers.

Its good to see the areas that don't usually see much snow get a good battering. Happy Days.

[cobby]

Wind picking up here in East Morton/Keighley and a few flakes coming down. Nothing on the radar here yet though.

The radar looked good for Silsden this morning, but been out for a couple of hours and it doesnt seemed to have moved much!

[Walkinglad2013]

Any snow due for Leeds?
