Don't get too excited 

Just passed scunny 

 

These have developed everytime past Scunny and intensified the last hour. It will do the same again. There is a lot of energy in the atmosphere now

[boyzie]

That has got to be the best snow shower ever.  I now know what a white out means.  Wow!  More of that please.  Genuinely surprised how intense that was.

[terrier]

Bright sunshine and blue sky in hudds ?

[inghams85]

That line of showers - Starting to get rather excited!

[Eskimo]

Still none the wiser as to what we will be expected later this evening and overnight. We just had a spectacular showers but they are few and far between. Hopefully it will become more frequent tonight.

think i would rather have continuous snow or nothing, rather than these showers

They come and look great then done in 5 mins and all melting away, its frustrating to say the least

Barnsley possibly too far north for the stream of showers at the minute i would say. WInds change direction though further into the night

[terrier]

Hopefully these showers will build as we head into early evening. But looking at the radar at the moment I’m not too hopeful. Think possibly tomorrow could be last chance saloon for us as Friday into Saturday looks unimpressive.

On the day after the snowfall on the 23rd, the sun was shining and there was minimal snow melt, if any. If every single day had been sunny thereafter then it probably wouldn't have lasted as long, but then I never suggested that every day had been sunny. I even have pictures from that particular day showing the sun shining.

Learn to read before you post please.

Oh please no not a cheese war!  I am hungry enough as it is!

Think the chances are pretty much gone now. Regarding the snow on Friday don’t think it will even reach us to be honest. 

We want it to pee off completely if we favour you favour a more prolonged Cold spell..

This has been in the Models for sometime now and it’s always been unclear as to its exact track. It’s closer to the time now so it’s in the reliable stage for it to hit the UK at least, It’s going to create a North/South split temp wise and a battle ground as snow will stall possibly somewhere central UK And depending on its track and extent it could cause problems for our region more so the south west. 

In March 2013 it was a Low coming up from the SW similar to this that stalled over Central UK and give us 24-36 hours of continuous snow with massive Snow Drifts especially over the higher routes.

Its swings and roundabouts. The whole hype regarding this Cold spell/Beast from the east has always insisted that snow won’t effect everyone and if that’s “You” (Not you in general Terrier lol) then you have been unlucky. Weather changes at a moments notice a slight change in wind etc can change the direction of Showers or more persistent snow 10miles, 25 miles 50miles,100miles you get the idea. I hope tonight/tomorrow & Thursday gives the guys that have missed out so far some persistent snow to get something out of this I really do nothing better than a happy Forum. If not let’s hope that Storm Emma reaches this far north or at least part of her to give us all a snow event.. And who knows hopefully the cold bites back and gives us another week of Cold Snowy conditions it’s definitely possible... 

 

PS. Sorry for the long post had to get that off my chests after reading everyone deflated posts making me want to take a bucket of Snow to each so they can at least tell all their friends “ I got a bucket full of snow yesterday “

I actually think it may miss us as well. This one is going further South as are a lot of the other showers now

[Allseasons-Si]

I just missed a funnel cloud 20 mins ago from this,it only lasted about 30 seconds and before i got to the camera it fizzled out

this weather isn't boring at all,keep those showers coming in because there are some lovely cloudscapes that could suprise you

infact looking at that photo again,it is still visable just above the chimney.

Hopefully when the coldest air arrives tonight the showers get a bit more organised as they have been more miss than hit today. Annoyingly, they also look more frequent and potent further to the north already, something which wasn't really supposed to happen until tomorrow.

All of the snowcover from this morning that has been in the sun has melted now, despite going no higher than 1.9C. The sun has a bit of heat in it so that even during one of the showers when it dropped to -1.1C, it quickly melted on impact.
