  1. To be honest, since I've moved up here in August last year. Plenty of people across the Black Country have mentioned that they/we often get snow each winter, and often used to read that Birmingham sees quite a bit of it. So whilst today might not produce the goods there's still another 5 to 6 weeks of winter left (guess like a lot of folk have been caught up with the talk of the SSW but GP mentioned today that end of Feb will be the period of interest). 

  2. Meh! Roll on spring. Grown tired these last 2 months or so of chasing significant cold and snow and that Canadian Lobe continues to be a pain in the proverbials.

    Scrabbling and scrapping around for a couple of cm's today doesn't do it for me and it now looks like it's all going to head into the SE and Central Southern England and Wales but some parts of the South Midlands look like they could get in on the act.

    Hows the ecm looking??

    Not sure but the general consensus on here and even by the Met Office themselves is that no one is really all that sure what the system is going to do. Seems very much a wait and see. South West Moors and Mid Wales both could do very well out this with West and South Midlands and down to the South East also seeing some snow. 

  4. Only 24 hours away and reading conflicting and contradictory reports. It is pretty clear that no one has any real idea, for certain, how this is going to play out tomorrow. If you going into the SE thread then it seems that the system won't venture much 20 miles north of London. Yet another report indicates Wales will see a lot of snow and then another stating that Wales is going to completely miss out and if you watch the Met Office they seem to indicate it will be the South West, Wales, and parts of the Midlands and SE. As such, safe to say, the safest bet is simply wait and see what happens tomorrow evening and overnight. 

    Because despite the billions of pounds of technology, Mother Nature still is and always will be one step ahead.

    According to Mark Duell of the Daily Mail we're all in the midst of a 'deep freeze' and it's a 'whiteout wednesday'. I wonder who's using the family brain cell this week in the Duell clan?

    I'm pretty sure the south midlands will get some decent snow tomorrow. I'm pretty downbeat about my own chances though, the met office app keeps changing.

    Get some decent cold locked in and then the opportunities will start. Hopefully today's models will continue to trend in the right direction of cold. Very cold!

    Can be down to radar-watching on the day as well. The models can only do so much, they won't be dead-on with the extent of the precip band. I have seen bands forecast to reach Manchester push towards Lancaster as an example. 

    Yep. Expect it will all come down to lamp post watching!

    Low all over the place  for features such as this I very rarely look at the main models ie ecm gfs etc  I usually wait till it comes into range on the hi res models   tomorrow night should tell if we are in the game or not    if not oh well always next time 

    Indeed. Even if we miss out on Thursday then there is still plenty of winter left before the spring.

    I’m wondering as your so sure why your not actually a weather forecaster, it’s got plenty of time to either go further north or yes miss us and go south but it’s certainly not a done deal yet so saying so is ridiculous tbh

    Maybe wait until Wednesday evening/Thursday morning before we know either way!

    If the 12Z UKMO is right - look forward to half an hour of snizzle on Thursday north of Birmingham. Fantastic. 

    This winter has been a total joke as far as I’m concerned, you can always guarantee a covering, even a slushy covering at times during winter, but this year’s been a total mess. Made much worse by the SSW that I’m actual fact has made this website practically unreadable for weeks because people had stupidly high expectations. 

    I didnt, but so far this winter has been horrendous. 

    Lets hope for a wet, active and thundery summer to compensate for this mess.

    Yep. The hype around the SSW has been ridiculous. Even noticed one or two posters a few weeks back (just before the non-easterly) mentioning a winter similar to 1947
