Never thought I'd say this but this potentially could match or better 2010 depending how unstable the flow gets. Hopefully for Yorkshire were not in a gap and Northumberland getting a right old pasting as usual.

2010 was epic I know Barnsley got just over 2 foot of snow that year! was amazing and it hung around for days due to the temps!

This is a very exciting time it’s getting very hard for me to not tell everybody

2010 saw -11 uppers in similar heights for around 30 hours. We have potentially 100+ hours this time round. If wind direction plays ball it beggars belief what some areas could receive

Pretty sure mate with shift south and the super cold uppers now covering most of the Midlands northwards there won't be a gap.

i told my black Labrador .......is that ok ?

[Craigers]

Just to show how stubborn cold air can be. The temp on my weather station hasn't got higher than 2c pretty much since yesterday! 

Still snow cover about and super foggy.

The first could come as soon as saturday night into sunday morning according to the arpege. Currently showing conditions right from 7am sunday morning but dont be surprised if we see snow from the diving low pressure saturday day nearer to time!

I wouldn't be surprised to see a spell of sleet and snow during Saturday before real fun and games kick off.

A quick one from me, went to sleep with one doubt in mind after reviewing last nights data. 

*On a whole across most models, sunday-wednesday the postitioning of the easterly was close to this chart I've pinned.

 What I feared if this was to be the final solution for the easterly, we was very close to no-mans land (gfs and ecm last night had us just right side though) between the cold polar feed to NE Britain with beautiful snow showers/ towers piling in with zero marginality and the slightly less cold frontal/ shortwave stuff to the SE Britain. 

In that situation between the 2 key areas there is usually a DRY ZONE or the showers are light, we had that in 2010 with areas like Newcastle/Middlesbrough north getting pumeled for days with snow showers and more frontal snow in the south east. Yes there was the odd exception with the streamer that paggered scunthorpe > doncaster > sheffield but was generally rule of thumb.

 

So this morning hiding behind my computer chair honestly fear full of thatand days similar to the chart I posted but no overnight it has all gone even more in a favour and we are well inside that beautifull polar airmass with frequent heavy snowshowers. And that is after a period of snow moving down from the north saturday night into sunday! Happy days for all of or region!

That was my worry too! So glad its going in our favour now. Those easterlies back in the day when Northumberland was constantly pasted and Yorkshire just getting scattered mini showers. Proper heart breaking when that happens 

[Winter Cold]

I'm getting giddy!!!

So good to see the overnight runs holding steady now. This could be an epic period to remember for Yorkshire over the coming week. I agree the snow could match 2010 if it all falls right!

This sounds good! I just read a post in the NW regional thread that Yorkshire doesn't do so well under this kind of Easterlies or something like that and I got a bit disappointed.

Geography might not be there strong point. 

We're just about best place for an Easterly.

Just thought I’d call in from Lancashire, I’m only a mile from the border so occasionally I sneak into the Yorkshire thread whilst complying to Covid rules of course

anyway I don’t think there is any danger of yourselves not getting hammered by the snow and there’s not a hope in hell that it will miss your side of the Pennines and then dump it’s load over in Lancashire.

my location, just on the other side of the ridge at the head of Calderdale often shares in the spoils from the east and some of our best snow events have come from a good easterly but areas further into Lancashire and certainly out towards the coast tend to miss out although they then benefit from fronts approaching from the Irish Sea.

Anyway it’s probably time to get your big shovel and sledge out and hopefully the same will be true for myself.
