  1. I agree, it's the North Sea we need to be watching. Bish
  2. Sounds like the Northants posters have finally seen their luck change these past few days Bish
  3. Seriously dude, you need to chill out a bit. It's just one of those things. We did well on Saturday didn't we? And there's still time for things to change later tonight. Bish
  4. Yep, changes afoot methinks. Let's just hope the North Sea keeps the conveyer belt going all night Bish
  5. Hmmm..........the northern edge of the ppn seems to be losing some if it's intensity as well. I always try to be optimistic, but I'm just starting to get that sinking feeling. We shall see, still plenty of time. Bish
  6. aj I'm holding you personally responsible for the success (or otherwise) of this event. For no other reason than it makes it easier for us to have a scapegoat Bish
  7. My (very basic) understanding is that the front will slow down as it crosses the region, pivot slightly and trundle south-westwards. Bish
  8. A bit annoyed to see a gap developing right in the middle of the ppn, with Solihull set to be slap bang in the middle of it ! On a more positive note, I think I'm just about detecting a gentle SSW shift in the flow, plus there still seems to be plenty more piling up in the North Sea Bish
  9. I've had two experiences of it in my lifetime. Believe me, it's absolutely terrifying if you're out on the roads, the ground seems to turn to glass. Bish
  10. Nothing falling from the sky here in Knowle yet, not even rain. Temp is now approx 0.0, with a DP of -2.7 Bish
  11. lol that's one of the funniest things I've read on here! The East Midlands have generally fared much worse than the West in recent years..... Bish
  12. Looks like the whole event has been shifted further & further south and west in the past few hours. Presumably Solihull is still just about within the "sweet zone", although I'm sure Coventry is close enough to join in as well Bish
  13. Yup, just enough to push the temp above freezing. Currently +0.5, although it seems to clouding over again now. Bish
  14. Charts continue to look good this morning. Almost there.......... Am I right in saying that this is likely to be a rain-to-snow event tonight? Bish
  15. Can't say I'm surprised, he had an unhappy knack of winding people up on here. Yep, the 18Z NAE looks very encouraging for the entire region. But I'll only believe it will snow when I actually see it falling from the sky......... Bish
  16. Whatever happened to Ian Brown? I haven't seen him post on here for yonks? Bish
  17. Hmmm, the BBC News24 forecast was certainly very bullish re the snow prospects for much of the Midlands. All seems very marginal to me; 50% chance of snow, 50% chance of "cold rain" methinks. In situations like this it always pays to keep expectations low in my experience. Bish
  18. I imagine you will get comfortably beyond that at some point in the next few hours We got down to -8.3 in the early hours of Saturday morning, fingers crossed that should be broken as well. Now down to -5.3 Bish
  19. -4.1 here in Knowle, dropping quite rapidly. Bish
  20. And a fascinating one at that. Thank you once again for sharing these clips with us, Mr Data Bish
  21. lol perhaps it was your posts I was remembering. I certainly recall somebody from Rugby getting distinctly irked on the forum that day (with very good reason). Bish
  22. We had a gargantuan amount here in December 2010, about a week before Christmas. But I think that was a very localised event, I recall Rugby a few miles away reporting next to nothing the same day. Feb 2007 for the region as a whole I should think? Bish
  23. Wow, that is some serious snow! Thank you for sharing Bish
  24. Very good point, Gord. Apart from whatever slithers of snow were left at the start of last January, 2011 was totally snowless for most Midlanders Bish
  25. Really huge coin-sized flakes still coming down now. TV reception very glitchy, which is always a tell-tale sign. Temp +0.4, DP 0.0 Bish
