Well we ended up with a decent covering in Barnsley, probably around 4-5 inches. Boundary seems to have been around Chesterfield in Derbyshire then all snow in Yorkshire. We got about 8-9 hours of at times moderate snow from around 2am. Last nights Arpege aligned quite nicely with the Meto Amber warning in terms of location and depth of snow.…[Read more]

18z ICON, GFS and GFS para are all similar in that they all have a period of snow for Tuesday currently before a change back to rain Wednesday and then colder air returning in Thursday. ICON and Para look best for most snow, with GFS moving the pon faster and with a fairly speedy transition to rain.

No doubt at this range there will be more…[Read more]

6z ICON is looking rather good for snow in our region next Tuesday/Wednesday!

For Saturday, GFS now has the snow furthest North with it scraping into South Yorkshire before returning South and fizzling out. ECM and ICON are a bit further South with snow making it to Derbyshire. GFS para and Arpege have the snow barely reaching Birmingham, so this is looking like another Midlands event to me.

Arpege now seems to have aligned to ECM, so snowfall now looks like being confined to highest ground of North West Yorkshire.

Next potential snow event is looking like Sunday into Monday for our region if ECM is correct.

Further out, days 9/10, according to GFS we could could be going into a period of very cold temps with Easterlies showing up…[Read more]

Meto Yellow warning for snow on Thursday seems to take a middle ground somewhere between Arpege 6z and ECM 0z.

A band of snowfall will likely push northeast into this region during the early hours of Thursday and become slow-moving. Snow may fall to lower elevations for a time with some locations seeing several cm by morning, however above 200 m…[Read more]

Arpege 18z continuing with the snowy theme for Thursday.

According to both ECM and Arpege 12z runs, large parts of our region could get a pasting on Thursday.

Arpege continues with a wintery outlook for Thursday, although at the moment it seems out in its own!

Potentially another snow event on Tuesday, but according to Arpege Thursday looks more interesting

Looks like todays snow will be mostly to the South of our region, with the pivot point being in the Midlands. Models have the northern extent in a line south Lincolnshire/Wash across to North Wales. Icon is slightly further North taking some snow into North Derbyshire/South Yorkshire/Manchester.

Not sure the majority will see much more today, maybe a few flurries but that is about it away from higher ground in the very South of the region.

Next potential interest again for the South of our region maybe tomorrow according to WRF-NMM, which brings the snow a bit further North compared other models.

After that, according to Harmonie,…[Read more]

Often get the same with Barnsley. Seems to look good out West then disappears when it gets here only for it to re-intensify when it gets to Doncaster. Same whether it’s rain or snow.

Trough looks to be moving West to East so unless it disipates as it hits the highest ground, West and South Yorkshire should see some snow falling in a few hours.

Yellow weather warning issued for snow and ice, covering Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Potential for accumulations at low levels well as high ground.

From models, looks like shower activity tonight and tomorrow and then risk from approaching front on Sunday. Tonight and tomorrow therefore, some areas may get lucky whilst others see nothing.…[Read more]

Other than a couple of moderate snow showers starting around 11pm, we had nothing overnight. Somehow the whole band of snow missed South Yorkshire seemingly skipping from the Pennines to East Yorkshire!

A couple of screen grabs from M56 cameras at Runcorn and Manchester Airport. Looks ro me like Highways Agency have been badly caught out here.

Guessing you were looking at these…. Looks like snow for most in our area if this is accurate.

6z runs continue to hold snow interest. Harmonie going for a mix of snow, reserved for higher ground, and sleet lower down particularly on the East side of the Pennines. WRF-NMM going for an all snow scenario.

Nothing so significant on the East side of the Pennines yet thankfully. Most rivers reporting 1-2m under flooding levels with just a couple of exceptions. Most notable, the Don around Doncaster, specifically Fishlake and Sprotborough, which have exceeded the minor flooding threshold. I think it would have been significantly different had the…[Read more]
