Yep light snow in West Leicester -
Is the band that is moving into wales the main band ?, as it looks like it will be here early afternoon unless it stalls.
-
Everyone is looking out the window at the heavy snow
-
Looks like there is some snow pushing up from the south this afternoon, so we may get a little more in Leicester after last nights half inch.
-
This is in Leicester Forest East, does not really show how heavy the snow is, but i think we have had about a inch looking on the car as the wipers have now almost disappeared.
-
12z NAE just starting to roll out, light snow still over leicester at midnight.
-
+0.3c in my back garden in Leicester Forest East, will be a little warmer in the center of leicester, once we get some heavier snow it should bring the temps down a little.
-
Was expecting the band of snow to move in more of a northerly direction, seems to be more westward which is better for us
-
Surprised we are getting snow so early, looks like it will be here for the rest of the day ! Link to the website showing the NAE model - this is at midnight tonight and snow still over leicester ! http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=-&VAR=prty&HH=18&ZOOM=0&ARCHIV=0&RES=0&WMO=&PERIOD=

Seems like the latest NAE chart for 12 noon now has a area of snow in front of the main band. I think tomorrow could be another interesting day weather wise.
-
Its a little way out but we could get a little more tuesday morning
-
The 12Z NAE seems to have shifted some of the heavier snow to the west a little again So looks like leicester will have a top up tomorrow afternoon.
-
Have a look on the following link http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/leicester/trafficcameras shows the traffic cameras around leicester, seems like all the main roads are clear, but side roads will be interesting !. Temps have been raising all morning, around zero here at the mo.
-
Sorry yes, more west than earlier forecasts.
-
Just watched the bbc1 forecast just before 8, showed the snow for Sunday now further east, looked good for the east midlands
-
Got to be honest i have seen a lot heavier snow than this in the leicester area in the 80's /90's i can remember snow drifts higher than our car, now that would of been a red warning I think the road's are bad due to it being so cold, we normally have temps just above freezing when we have snow, so the roads are slushy rather than frozen which leads to less problems, temps have been well below freezing all day.
-
I mentioned the same to the guys at work, that the temp is dropping during the day during snow fall. Leicesters roads are turning into gridlock, managed to get home, but Hinckley road is just one queue of traffic with a icey layer starting to appear. Was surprised how bad the roads were, but with a temp of -2.9c i can see why they are icing up and any snow fall is not melting even with grit.
-
Its just really started to come down now in Whetstone LE8 just down from you. Seems like the front is slowing down, and its a couple of hours ahead of schedule.
-
The snow did show up on this mornings NAE run, chart below is for 6.00pm, but i was to busy looking at the main band of snow coming in tomorrow
-
Leicester Forest East, still have a decent covering we are at 104m asl so a little extra height and a little bit colder than the city.
-
This mornings NAE has snow over us for 18 hours in leicester, i think we will do ok
-
Red warning now out for south wales !
