Yorkshire and E England regional discussion

[Kentish Snowman in Yorks]

A dusting here this morning.  Light snow falling and the radar looks a bit meh but the automated forecast for here shows heavy snow all day!

I am just inside the amber warning area here so we will see.  Hope things pick up later as Scott and others have said

I’ve noticed this as well.  My logic would be.... Heavier more dispersed showers tend to be more hit and miss for an individual location but more impactful where they hit.  Lower intensity more widespread showers gives more locations snow at anyone time and therefore less hit and miss so potentially more accumulation overall.  Might be flawed logic, but that would be my take.

I suppose the other aspect to consider for those of us further west, is if the showers are less intense do they stand less chance of getting right across from east to west.  The higher intensity showers are diminished by the time they reach here, so will the lighter more widespread showers actually make it here.  Those further east wouldn’t suffer this so much but would see longer periods of light snow rather than short duration heavy snow.

I’m hoping it would be like 2018 where these lighter showers merge into one clump. I also recall those showers being heavier than the radar suggested.

Radar says it should be snowing right now but nothing falling from the sky at all

1.5cm on all surfaces overnight.  Just caught the southern edge of some of the heavier showers. Looks lovely but really want to build on this and get some deep snow today.

Sit-Rep East Hull. Snowing all night but it's super fine and way to windy for it to stick massive disappointment really. I know this sounds odd but I think it needs to warm up a bit to make flakes and not pellets.

2cm average 1cm to 3cm here. Hopefully more later

[joggs]

And some on here were calling it a 2010 event. 1cm here.

please remember that the radar is slightly behind current time and the showers are flying through at a fair old pace.

by the time the radar says it's above you, it'll probably have already been and gone! 

[Light Without Heat]

I'm sure the sun up above the cloud base will help with some convection later on. Anyone expert enough to confirm this?

you're normally the one complaining you've got no snow when everyone else has loads 

congrats on probably the deepest snow around here for the moment!

Starting to merge around Hull now, this is heading for Sheffield.

[wrcstarlet]

Heavy snow here and looks like a long string of showers to come. 

[Imp81]

Morning all, slight dusting here too, and without measuring I'd guess around 2cm, fingers crossed for us all to see more intensity in the next 12-24hrs and get decent coverings I'm heading down the A1 very soon, I'll hopefully see what's really happening in the SE

I can assure you nothing has gone through here, we don’t even have a full covering

This is the convergence zone for me you can see the back building as well. 

Feel this is why the orange is there

join the club! just been out to throw some grit on the frozen slush from Saturday night's brief covering. what little is left is a bit dodgy underfoot!

[Tony Beets]

Nothing here, had a feeling it was going to be a bust! What a easterly! Enjoy the snow if you get it!

Considering I’m literally within spitting distance of the wash, this should be a perfect set up however anything that does fall is so fine it’s more an ice pellet and half the time the radar is showing something over us and nothing falling from the sky

Just had a mini blizzard.

[Scott Ingham]

Absolute blizzard here!!!

It really is coming down in Hull now sideways 

[reef]

Really poor effort here so far with a dusting and thats it. This is definitely another 2018 failure so far. Still lots of time to go but I must say I prefer a good northerly or north-easterly.

[winterof79]

Huddersfield having a major struggle at present.

Could have been issued a bit earlier.
