I see north Norfolk has started to get some action looking at the radar ... 

Just a matter of time now for north lincs and all the region I hope... 

 

Yes, shower intensity should spread up the North Sea as instability increases.

GEM 12z, which was the first to pick up the Baltic/Humber streamer last week, is a big upgrade for tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday with just about all parts of our region getting in on the game at some point over the next 3 days!  Let’s just hope it’s right!

And here is the GEM 12z snow accumulation chart for 7am Wednesday!  Not too shabby!  I think if it turns out like this I would think most people in our region will be happy!

Cheers for that.

Interesting you talk about longevity.  Its easy to see how if one area is under a streamer for any length of time those totals could really rack up.

I still think somebody somewhere on low ground in our region will hit the jackpot and receive 30cms - 40cms by the end of Wednesday.  Not beyond the realms of possibility in my opinion.

I think someone maybe a place like holmfirth could see totals like that if the streamer sets up where it looks like setting up. The streamer could still be 20 miles either side of forecasting position. Looking at tuesday i suspect Rotherham and Sheffield will be on the very edge of the streamer. Wakefieod down to Barnsley/Doncaster for that days sweet spot! 

[ChezWeather]

There could be icebergs drifting down the Rother and PIT would still have a good moan on here!

This is what we are looking out for tonight with the transition as per UKV thanks to @Paul for sharing this!

The Winter of 1978-79 : Latest weather news and forecasts updated every 6 hours, every day of the year.

 

That winter was brutal - we lived out in the sticks (even for Lincolnshire!) and it seemed to go on forever. The mid February spell of snow and gales is about the most apocalyptic weather conditions I've seen in the UK away from the Scottish mountains. I had three weeks extra off school between November and March, a joy offset by the fact we lived in a house with no central heating and several spells of no running water because of burst pipes. I doubt I'll ever see another winter like it in this country.

Indeed nothing much at all .

Also the radar  site I'm using seems to have a problem loading. 

Some are saying heavy snow showers tonight .

Lol. PIT you're a legend. Honestly....

Schools in those days generally stayed open as well. Ours only closed when the Snow drifted across the road blocking the teachers into the car park. As soon as that happened off home we went. I would also say 78/79 was one the few years where you had a spring melt. Remember the snow melting from our house but if I walked up to the local park it was till there. 10C at home probably 4C over the melting snow. There was also very cold blizzard conditions in March as well in that year.

[Danns]

Just seen that streamer (North of Peterborough) on the radar too, Appears Intensifies quite quickly. Hoping this pattern starts to trend further north.

UKV show the intensity of the showers progress from the wash northwards tonight so was just demonstrating where to look out for the transition.

I have similar memories of school remaining open until absolutely necessary to close due to very deep snow and drifts, also in the ‘70’s.  

I think one of the big differences between now and then was vast majority of kids were really local and within easy walking distance and it was the same for teachers or at least it was at my junior school.

My daughter is a primary school teacher and the school where she works has lots of the kids travel in by car as they aren’t within walking distance and some of the teachers drive in 30 or 40 miles and one from Manchester!  Therefore even if kids can get to school, they don’t always have the right number of teachers able to get in to meet safety requirements and pupil-teacher ratio requirements.

A few motions of the short range models:-

gfs 12z...,then winter bites back towards day ten but that's a looooong way off yet

before that though,plenty to keep tabs on over the next few days

i took a drive up woodhead road,wharncliffe earlier to get a snow fix...

some pics from my OH's phone.

it was -1 up there with the trees covered in snow,...lovely

good luck everyone tomorrow

[sparky1972]

Batch of showers heading inland just clipping me to the north and steadily moving northwards too - grrr! Hoping it picks up later this evening but tomorrow looks great.

I work at an FE College and it was always the waiting game - we would check what the other colleges were doing - the ones on the outskirts closed first, us in the middle of the city at lower levels had to wait until all the others shut by which time, the roads would be shocking and getting home was a nightmare. Lot to be said for working from home

looks like a more organised band over North Norfolk moving NW slowly looks like you could see some of that fairly soon keep us posted.

Potential streamer setting up coming through to our location pal.. Worth keeping an eye on if it makes it this far west
