Thanks Hadworse. It was an excellent site and Chris was clearly a seasoned coder… I am more of a novice coder / website manager and lack the experience Chris had. He used live accident data from private highways information service providers such as InRix. I can’t afford InRix right now, it’s £5000 for a basic annual licence. The TomTom API (which I currently use) does provide incident data, which is probably 70% of the functionality of InRix for just £200 a year. This is what I will try and utilize for the incident data. Atm the site uses basic TomTom segment speed & closure status API (API = internet data service), and manual reports. This produces the speed & closure status widgets for each road. I’ve already done quite a bit with the weather stuff, inc live air AND road surface temperature, plus cloud base altitude which is almost ready to go live on the site..
Plan: incorporate automated live incident data with info on time since report

P.s. I have released this new travel website for the Peak District. Covers A57, A628, etc.

I have had a chat with the admins on there and they have agreed to unblock my netweather account.

I will continue to post on here for now. I opened this forum up to vent my meteorological ideas really – haven’t had much chance to use it properly been so clogged up with various other bits.

At present next week holds a lot of interest for central and eastern areas of the region. Under the ECM/GFS scenario there would be adequate air mixing (low heights) to drive westerly advancement of precip to say the M6 corridor. This combined with fronting & elevation >100m in the East could result in very nice wintry conditions. Keep an eye on output.

Tomorrow morning – heavy wet snow 1-4cm below 100m much of Yorkshire, increasing to 30m perhaps Hawes, Harrogate.
Wet snow to freezing rain on the west Pennines, rain/sleet roughly sw of Oldham.

Tuesday is now looking like a Leeds/ Bradford NE event similar to the one in Feb 2020. Only a small chance, say 25%, of positive southwards corrections.

[Kasim Awan]

Next Tuesday looks decent. Less precipitation shadow potential. Need southwards corrections.

Snow starved?! 😀

[Kasim Awan]

The GFS shows this, strong front moving NE quickly pushing in a milder sector. The GFS/GEM are opposing the ECM/Arpege. Too close to call – middle ground favoured so slightly slower progression than gfs. This would allow for better development of front and back edge snowfalls. Note easterly winds, potential minor shadow (heights are low so this WONT BE A 100% STRONG SHADOW). The ECM/Arpege solution needs a watch for some on that the worst snowfall since the 80s.

[Kasim Awan]

The potential with this front is in the slow movenent aspect associated with the pressure from height rises to our NNE. This could lead to serious snowfall accumulations given optimal positioning. Front too strong / high too weak and it will just be a transient front and back edge event.

Thanks Stelmer for your post. It would be nice if I could spend more time building up this site. The like button plugin has run into an error which is why it’s dissappeared but I still appreciate every post. Let’s see what Summer brings. I will have to move this site to a separate server soon so there will be some downtime, will let you know beforehand. Had put this site on the same server as where my High Res weather data is stored.
Ultimately a place for learning, and where I can vent snow forecasting information to a good community.

Snow tomorrow mainly 250m+ away from far North of England. Thursday-Sunday poses much interest.

I see that article from 2015 has been posted on netweather hahahaha, it’s actually now quite an embarassing article as I was 16/17 at the time. Have asked MEN to remove it.

[Kasim Awan]

Showers heading towards Greater Manchester. Tuesday is marginal, tho interesting with some potential as is the weekend.

[Kasim Awan]

Seems to be a lot of virga around now.

There is a pivotting stall tomorrow. Could occurr from south Cheshire to Birmingham. Need to keep an eye on the front speed on radar this is the most important factor, faster = further NE.
