  1. it stopped about an hour ago in Nottingham, just a very light snow shower and barely a dusting. That's the extent of it...
  2. Just started snowing lightly in Nottingham!
  3. Got 2inches over night, not bad considering I was not expecting anything!
  4. Yep its very dark and gloomy again. The intense snow has stopped but there are still small flakes. I think it will pep up again in the next couple of hours
  5. That's annoying again...10 miles down the road from you and its blue skies and no snow. Not even had any rain lol.
  6. A brief sleet/wet snow shower at 6pm and thats it so far. BBC weather page is getting annoying. It was first saying sleet for tomorrow, then heavy snow, and now back to sleet...rather like last week! However this does seem at odds with the current radar projections suggesting it will be snow. We shall see...
  7. Sleet here. Will see what tomorrow brings...hopefully not a heavy snow shower during my driving lesson!
  8. Its since been updated to a mix of light and heavy snow all day for tomorrow - I'll eat my hat if it comes off!
  9. I think I'll miss out again - looks like rain/sleet showers for Nottingham and not very cold temperatures according to the Met office; daily max around 4c and min around 0c, yet Nottingham is in the warning zone. I won't get my hopes up again - last week I was left very dissapointed (a few miles up the road they were blanketed in snow!)
  10. Verry light snow flurry here and has now stopped. I hope this wad just the leading edge and there is better to come! At least I've seen more snow in the last hour than I did in the whole of last winter.
  11. BBC weather this morning warning of potential disruption due to snow over the midlands, so to keep an eye on the forecast. No official warnings out but an upgrade in terms of moving from rain/sleet to snow. I think it will go down to the wire before we know how this will play out!
  12. Hopefully the weather channel will be right as I missed the snow on boxing day due to being in Northumberland!
  13. The weather channel are showing snow from tomorrow evening until Wednesday afternoon for Nottingham with 3-7 cm in depth...met office are going for sleet. Interesting!
  14. Carol Kirkwood on BBC weather touched upon the weather front coming in over Tuesday/Wednesday and stated that band will be of rain with snow on the hills. Still no weather warning out, yet the bbc weather website currently has several hours of heavy snow for that time frame in my area! Something has to change...
  15. Another 6c here today with a couple of rain showers after a light frost. Still waiting for this cold snap to make its presence felt. Temps here are forecast to drop a few degrees tomorrow through to the weekend with a bit of snow so hoping that will materialise. The last few days have been 2-3c warmer than was forecasted.
  16. Yes in the next frame at 216 hours SE England is under +4 uppers with SW winds. It looks most models are in agreement of a breakdown of cold at some point between Friday and Monday. It didnt get below 0c here last night and it looks like we could squeeze out 5c today if it remains sunny so for me the cold spell/snap doesnt really get underway until tomorrow. Then if you believe the Met Office/BBC weather they have temps going back to 6c by Thursday, which sort of ties in with what most of the models are hinting at. For me, my definition of a cold spell is day time temps not going above 3c and night time temps below freezing for at least a 5 day period, so looking at what is being forecast for my area, that would be about a 4-5 day period, which to me is more of a cold snap than a cold spell.
  17. The Models this morning are still showing the cold breaking down by the end of next week with temperatures looking to get in to double digits in the south by next weekend. I think this will end up being more of a cold snap than a cold spell.
  18. To be honest I think the cold will fade from next weekend as the high pressure looks to go southwards and breaks from Scandi, allowing the Atlantic to have more of an influence. Still, a good week of cold weather and some snow though!
  19. I would have thought it would have some impact, although looking at the charts it doesn't seem to be of any real benefit to the UK in the near term. As mentioned before, the PV tries to get is act back together, but is clearly at a weak state; the GFS has another split of the PV forming in the last week of January. I would think that if the PV had not been forcecast to re-establish itself so quickly then this would have allowed a better evolution of the Trop pattern to emerge and aid HLB.
  20. Yep, they are still all over the place but the 12z progresses the heights in to Greenland further I wonder how many more runs we will get like this before the progression fades again!
  21. Some nice charts showing at the tail end of FI, presumably from the response of the brief PV split
  22. Had the sea ice extent been less than what we have now, then I would imagine the Siberian high would have been allowed to develop and we may well have had a cold pattern set up by now. As many have mentioned, the OPI should be used as a tool in the tool kit, and is not the tool kit itself. Wasn't there another Index that the team were working on to do with Zonal patterns that contradicted the OPI outcome (I can't remember what it was called)
  23. That would seem to tie in with many of the long range seasonal models and met office contingency planners update back in oct/nov that many on here were dismissing?
