We may miss the main front but the further South East the main front goes the more the North Sea will fire up and blow streamers and showers well in land ala Arpege.

Should feel colder with lower day time temperatures than we’ve seen so far this winter. Any places that do see snow cover could well see lower night time temperatures than anything see this winter should winds fall light and winds clear. ECM had parts of the Midlands seeing night time minima down to -13’C by mid week.
Any snow will be powdery rather than wet, and powdery snow gives a better moisture to snow ratio.
Eastern areas should do very well for snow. Western areas do though do better for snow in a northerly or even a westerly.
Yh powder snow is nice but dosent accumulate as much. For Me and You we are just to far West. Last cold spell we had a few ice days. This one will be around 1c daytime with 15 nighttime minima. I expect to see London on the news come Sunday with around 15cms.

Exactly. Even the Met Office 10 day forecast yesterday, said it won't be as cold as the 2018BFTE.
Well for Stoke the 2018 one was pathetic for Snow and although the wind was cold, it was no colder than a norm winter.
Makes me wonder how these down South nowadays would react to the minus 15s we got every night in 2010.
More like a feline cat from the East although East Anglia in for some heavy snowfall. But temps and widespread snowfall will be disappointing. If the snow gets further West than Oxford I will be suprised.

Ironic so called Beast from the East will be less cold than the recent cold spell where we hit -10 with heavy snow. Unless you are in the NE or the SE this will just feel like a few cold days. Give me a northerly anytime far better for the Mids generally as we are seeing at the weekend. Rare that fronts make inroads inland and stay as a coastal affair also massive wishbone effect.

Met Office warning appears to suggest the fronts from that low will affect us.
Met against BBC who will win lol.

Never pushes to far inland. Calling this one a no go for here. East mids still in with a shot maybe.

Latest bbc weather had it mainly in East anglia. Not good for mids but potentially very good for London.

I've noticed a couple of times, starting in 2010, that Stoke has been right at the tail end of a Wash streamer. Never produced much in the way of lying snow, as it's always been very dry and powdery, leading to lots of "mini drifts", with most of the ground blown clear. This was the case in 2018 too, although the stronger sun inbetween soon dealt with it. Once the attacks start in the middle of next week, experience tells me to expect raw, dull days, with the snow never quite making it.
Agree the Midlands especially the West never does well from easterlies as the fronts never seem to push far enough in land. I think the West mids will get a dusting. East mids between 5 to 10 cms. Eastern britian 15 to 20cms. But West mids always do better in Northerlies especially through the Cheshire gap. Not excited myself but happy for people in the East who have missed out so far this is there time.

Bear in mind the ICON goes into annoying low resolution mode after 77 hours and makes precipitation look heavier.
Think we would all bank that Matt.

Let's hope it changes. I notice the BBC one showed Snow virtually all over us including Manchester to the North. Whereas that warning misses Manchester and most of the West Mids.
Probably because there forecast is based on the ECM model. Taking all models into account it looks a mainly Eastern affair so our East midlanders could do very well with the West getting flurries and the odd streamer. Many twists and turns to come Sunday in weather terms is an eternity away.

Only if your glass is usually half empty. Fortunately mine is always half full. The Power of positive thinking. My area will receive be a memorable fall of snow within the next 7 days.
Thats my motto set yourself up for dissapoitment then if it happens it will be even better and a suprise. But in all honesty if it happens the UK would be buried.

Haha, in all honesty I can see some parts of the Midlands easily getting 1ft by the end of next week.
Haha love your optimistic nature. But it will have moved at least 10 times by Sunday as they nail it down and if the cold air gets south quick enough. They showed something for similar for last weekend and it was mainly a sleet fest. But 100% hope your right mate.

If I lived in the Midlands I'd be excited! Looks like non stop snow for days starting on Saturday! Should be lots of drifting too!
It will be patchy light snow or sleet by the time Sunday comes lol.

So not much in terms of snow for this week maybe a few flakes for the far NW West of the region. Try not look to far ahead in the future but can see its all doom and gloom in the MOD thread. Still have a feeling Mid Feb could be good.

Snowing heavy in Somerset
But my cousin who lives in Yeovil said its melting so quick as soon as intensity weakens. They have no snow on ground so similar to ours yesterday. But does show any PPN will be snow.
-
Stopping here now didn't amount to anything much due to the warm ground and wet snow. Yep shows accumulation charts are pointless especially in marginal situations. On to the next one we go.

Such a shame this didn't come at night when ground was much colder. About 3 hours of heavy snow. But as soon as it eases a touch it melts so quick.

It’s actually snowing quite nicely, just as well as it has during the other events we’ve seen this winter. But it’s that slight change in conditions that makes all the difference.
Gord just been to White Cross dont know if you know it and they have a good covering up there. It literally a 2 minute from me lol. Shows how close it is to be a nice snow event.
-
Sowing here but wet snow. Went up the road to White Cross and its heavy snow up there and a nice covering literally 2 minutes away.

Guys I cant believe we lucked out again this truly has been a Midlands Winter so far. If it sticks or not just to see snow falling again is incredible. Virtually every time the Midlands has been the place to be wether we have had falling snow or 15cm lol. Met say heavy snow until 4pm here we shall see if it sticks I think we need full on blizzard for that.
