this is where the access to so much information is annoying, constant changes from run to run a minute to minute in some cases like the more southerly ICON to slightly more northerly GFS. Its no wonder forecasts are difficult.
Personally I'm happy to wait to see actually what happens at this point not obsessing over each model (though I say that im still bloody looking aint i lol)

Blimey some of you in here really do need to see the lighter side of life, so it didnt snow as much as we wanted, we move onto the next chance and bet your life most of us will be back here again Thursday with childlike hope in our hearts, if only some of you could handle disappointment (should it happen) like an adult

I think the forecast has been spot on for here so far. Drizzle this morning, heavier rain by lunchtime turning to snow by the evening. So for my location, the forecasts have been spot on so far.
I agree to some extent, im excluding apps from that, its been knee jerk reactions from some before lunch that made it not appear that it was

Met got me down for heavy snow from now till 9pm Yeah right.
The met office app forecasts have been going mental every couple of hours i started this morning with a forecast of rain then sleet then heavy snow from around 5 now its got heavy snow symbol from 12 till 8, its not to be trusted.
Having said that those who are already giving up im pretty sure are giving up far far too early, this is very much a look at radar and out your window time not an app time

I live just by Drew’s Holloway, I’m going nowhere tomorrow regardless of what falls overnight, it’s lethal as it is!
Almost certainly the right decision
Whilst the snow might not get particularly deep the ice and the drifts aint gonna get better, if you dont need too dont bother

I’m only in Halesowen, it may not be giving snow depth, but it’s sure causing major problems, my street is now blocked and Stourbridge road is stationary in both directions
Stourbridge Road/Drews Holloway always bad in weather like this, Mucklow Hill and Furnace Hill also stuff, everywhere out of Halesowen either up or down a hill

I keep on thinking that myself everytime I look at the snow'dar....please let you be spectator wrong
when ever i put the animation on the netweather rader it looks like tetris in reverse, a jog to the west then north north then west, west, then north to the point where i now think im seeing what i wanna see not what is happening, still loads of activity though alot of heavy stuff going on thru Somerset/Wiltshire and Herefordshire some places gonna have best/worst snow in years. im just happy we at least involved

Bankety Bank......so far we seem to have Icon slightly south not reaching bottom of m42 but then both GFS and HIrlam through the Central Midlands, plenty to still feel positive about at this stage
