I hope this isn't to much off topic.
I am thinking of getting a wireless pc weather station thing, for my garden, do any of you have any opinions/advice as to what works well for the price. There is a huge choice on the market, it's a bit confusing
Snow is melting fast on the roads here and the temperature is currently 0.9c It's all a bit of a slushy mess, but at least we've had a good slice of the cake this year :-) can't really complain
-
Yeah, was very hit and miss down there, but it's where I saw the heaviest snow and covered roads. Everything around Leicester just look wet. As others are saying, I do think things are very localised!
If its any conciliation to us in the midlands, it's nothing epic in Luton either, just a dusting really. They've had the same problem with the amount of rain that fell today combined with the not so low temperatures.
-
Just got the train up from London to East Midlands Parkway... From what I could see, heaviest snow was around the Luton area. The closer to the East Midlands I got the wetter things looked. The roads and pavements are completely clear, with the last white platform being Kettering.
Really, I'm surprised I've not had a text from my brother in Luton and some snowy pics. I can usually rely on him to keep me posted on whats happening down tere lol

Lol. lucky for me, i don't work for them
It must be Malcolm's then í ½í¸„

Still sleet here. Id guess won't turn to snow fully till 6.
That's more or less what I was thinking. Another temperature check is in order, but not til I've put dinner on

I've not posted but I have been following the thread the last couple of days, some great banter btw.
Temperatures here have gone from, 4.9 this morning to 3.7 earlier, and I've just been out again and it's now 2.1. So the signs are looking promising at the moment. The rain has been relentless all day, but there's definate signs of change, I'm hoping to sea a change to more snow like precipitation in the next hour or so

It's light, but snow is falling :-) â„
-
Radar is now showing green over us, but I've just been outside, and nothing to report :-(
-
The red dot is Hinckley. The 20.15 puts us right on the edge of the snow front. So close, I can almost smell the snow. A nice little change in direction would be nice right about now ℠⛄ â„
We'll just have to wait and see if it carries on in the north westerly track it's currently on. â„â„â„â„

What are the radars showing?
You should be able to look at the snow radar, I think it's free at the moment, cos I've been taking a look today
-
I don't know what others of you think, but the wind direction is pushing in an west west south kind of direction.
I wonder how much influence it's having over the system thats been hanging over us all day. It was meant to be well on its way to Scotland by now
Not that I'm complaining :-)
-
A couple of pics from Hinckley at 16.05. Some accumulation since Friday, but not as much as I might of expected considering its been snowing since 9 this morning.
The temperature is still holding at just below zero, but they should start to drop soon
-
Just looking at the 10.42 update for Hinckley, and it's looking like we could get a good accumulation by this evening.
Being a Sunday and not much traffic on the roads today, this could cause some major disruption for the morning rush hour.

Locals and they're myths!! Geologically speaking, it's obviously not true, but when we don't get our fair share it does make you wonder. At least this year seems to be making up for it, so far.
It's 5 years today since I moved from Luton to Hinckley, and I have to say, we do get a better standard of snow up here :-)
-
OMG i can see why, there is all orange but there is a little white box, above nuneaton where hinckley is? Can you see it Polar?
Thanks for the link. is that updated throughout the morning?
Depressed now, sob sob!!
It seems to be coming down quite fast, where I am in Hinckley.
I have heard from locals in the past, that Hinckley is in a kind of trough (not sure on the spelling of that)!! And is generally protected from the worst of the weather. Has anyone else heard of this myth? When we had that really heavy snow a couple of years ago, Hinckley had nothing compared to pretty much everywhere else around the country.

It's beginning to settle here in Hinckley, and the wind has definately picked up as well. Apparently there was an earthquake in the Loughborough area around half five this morning,

eew, a little more pricy than I was hoping, but the accuracy is what matters, especially if your going to share your reading online. I'm sure I can get my husband to find a good location and place it somewhere high up for me :-)
