Looking at the radar and and the beefyness of some of the snow showers in north/ west and east yorkshire, I'm feeling more confident now for tonight. I think some areas could do very well still.

Can someone explain why is this considered and classified as an Easterly even by METO? There wasn't so far a single minute of E or even ENE wind component. This is a classic NorthEasterly with showers moving SW. This is why most of the times they lose intensity and get fragmented further inland especially in night time. If we had Easterly winds the energy in the North Sea would be definitely better allowing more organised bands of showers and streamers.

They appear to be getting what we got during BFTE1.

Kasim, why do the cloud tops not show on the shower streams? Are they lacking height?

Shame the intensity has been lost. The next frontal opportunity should be interesting. We are well overdue a widespread front embedded in a cold SE flow.

Yeah, certainly something to watch

They are quite low. This sounding suggests 8,000ft so I'd say tops are 6-8,000ft atm. A lot of the light stuff may be 3-6,000ft.

Would like another opinion.

I measure cloud heights in ft.

Level snow metric cm

Drifting imperial ft and in

Temp deg C

Wind speed mph

Visibility metres

If you want to read cloud height, take the surface pressure from the cloud top pressure (surface pressure e.g. 1010mb, cloud top pressure the pressure where the DP and Temp line diverge) and multiply the value by 30. So tops at 6330ft.

Do the same but surface pressure in mb from cloud base pressure. 1010-900 = 110*30 is 3300ft.

So, bases of 2-3000ft and tops of 6-7000ft roughly

Will fall to 800ft and increase to 8000ft in a heavy shower.

Over 20000ft in a proper convergence zone.
