Chazndave   10 #1 Posted December 14, 2018 Forecast says snow this weekend 15th December 2018. First forecast I've seen for it this year. Not sure I'm ready for it yet! Wonder if the white stuff will actually come and how much.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What a rag! What about a month ago, it WAS cold and the Story was about a Sheffield road having snow covering. Â True enough there was a picture with some snow on. Â Location?

Funky_Gibbon   42 #6 Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) As far as the latest weather reports go it says we're in the Amber warning zone for both snow and ice, with some of the higher parts of Sheffield possibly getting a few hours of heavy snow from noon but all of Sheffield highly likely to get rain/sleet that will turn to ice on pavements and roads. Surface temperature aren't going to rise above 0 degrees C until the evening and it'll feel like -5 or lower with the wind chill.

ANGELFIRE1 Â Â 10 #7 Posted December 15, 2018 Quite surprised the likes of Asda, Tesco and the rest still have food on sale, when we get a forecast for bad weather like this weekend the sheeples usually empty the shelves. Maybe they have not heard the forecast yet. Â Angel1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kaytie   11 #10 Posted December 15, 2018 BBC, Weathercity and Accuweather sites all forecast rain or sleet, not snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Annie Bynnol   596 #11 Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Met Office  Broomhill (Crookesmoor) From 2pm 60% chance of snow. **Now 80% From 3pm 90% From 5pm ≥95% From 7pm*  rain with temperatures rising to 5 degrees by midnight.   As all UK weather forecasts are interpretations of various levels of Met Office or European data I would strongly suggest using their forecast. Everybody knows that the weather expected at Lodge Moor and Meadowhall can be very different and so we use our local knowledge to modify what the BBC etc. weather is for the bit of Sheffield we live in. No free weather service can provide that level of detail or accuracy.  *With the temperatures around 0 and warm weather coming over the hills the forecast has changed in the last 10 minutes to rain here from 6pm. **And still changing.            Edited December 15, 2018 by Annie Bynnol Data is continually being updated as I write Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
