Strider

I hope it all moves east so the East Midlands get the brunt of it. West Midlanders, you've already had your fair share thanks! Now it's our turn!:lol:

Derby and Notts desperately hanging on to the warnings!

Sweet, are you in Uttox?

I can't find the dewpoints on xcweather?

Lots of ppn coming from Wales...

It's time for the East Midlands to see the snow.

Dunno what's happenning in Derby then because at 10am it was recorded as 1.6c in Watnall about 7-8 miles away

I was quite disappointed with the GFS this morning. It's a poor man's easterley tbh, day time temps up at 3-4c with the op eventually climbing to double figures towards the end. Upper temps too expected to rise above 0c.

Dire stuff for Derby and Notts yet again. It really is pathetic tbh

Notts and Derby to miss out again!

Could the wash warbler come into effect today? Looks like quite a bit of ppn coming in

It did, but then by last weekend it went blowtorch again. It a model keeps blowing hot and cold (sorry) then it is guaranteed to be correct at some point! A more relevant question is which model consistently predicted the cold spell before the others? UKMO..?

The Netweather Datacentre isn't working properly :lol: Great charts though.

Uh... does not compute.

Seeing as he appears to produce his forecast videos from his own house, the snow must have been really bad if he couldn't make it to his own living room! :) I've noticed a distinct pattern on this thread - when the models show cold weather in 7 days + it's called deep FI and unlikely to happen, but when they show SWerlies it's a DONE DEAL and guaranteed to happen..! The model consistency has been very poor in the last 3 weeks especially. Unfortunately we have to accept that we cannot accurately predict what will happen next week.

The dreadful winter for Notts and Derbys continues I'm afraid. Not a flake of snow last night, and now the blowtorch looks to be moving in for at least the next 2 weeks. This has been the most frustrating winter I can remember tbh, to be so close to decent snowfall yet also so far.

The snow always seems to be 4-5 days away.

Looking at the models, I can see it being quite a frustrating period. We'll have cold weather, but little or no snow.

You sure about that? The GFS initially picked out the coming cold spell, but went back to predicting mild weather for a few days into Feb. This week it switched back again.

Yeah I don't see much snow for the Midlands tomorrow at all. Probably better news long term though, it's looks as though we are entering another period of very cold weather for the forseable future imo.

Potential snow event on Sunday for people in the SE Midlands

GFS 06z op showing the Atlantic winning by Tuesday...

The GFS 06Z op is a mild outlier from 1st Feb...

Out of interest, how warm was it in that winter? The GFS esembles are just scatter gun after this week tbh...
