Looks like some nr that curb over there lol. Either way lets hope things pep up and continue heading towards leics over next few hours.
Nope, been over and checked, light reflecting off a weather balloon near venus and refracting off double yellow lines mate!!!

The Leicester snow shield is on full power still, I took this photo only 5 minutes ago... When I say we have no snow, I mean we really have no snow at all!!!! LE3 0BB

Showers are actually heading towards Leicester.. beggars belief ! though looking at the intensity I think there is more water in my bedside cup than in those clouds
Fortunately I find it legitimately funny these days, I actually have a bit of a chuckle to myself looking at the radar
I am used to it now. Though I can't be too bitter, we did pretty decent in December, 5 to 10cm twice.
Same with thunderstorms, we either get nowt, and only here and see other people's storms, or we get ommered!!
Leicester, that is....

Goodness knows what the Euro 4 is seeing.
Is that a "what it should be doing now cast" type of thingy?

Nooo this sweet looking heavy shower is going to miss me I think. Doh! Ohwell, hopefully more through the night
Missing me as well, LE3............. AGAIN!!!!!!!

Is this some sort of low pressure area developing, seems to have a bit of rotation going on..... If not, what is causing this......?

LE3, West End of Leicester.... @ 15.00hrs Tuesday 27th Feb 2018. Report.
Suns out, few wispy clouds, no signs of any convective activity within 15 miles... Ish, current temp is stable at -0.7c, still as a cup of tea on a frozen mill pond, no sign of any snow in the next couple or 3 hours, nothing lying anywhere either...!!
-
Diddly squat in Leicester City (West End) its gone dark a couple of times, but little to nothing fell out the sky, not even any polystyrene!!!

This is looking quite a big area of snow, bigger than I expected, I know some of its light but there is some heavy stuff in the too.
We had a blob like that over Leicester for most of the afternoon........ Did it snow all afternoon.............................?
No, it snowed for around 10 mins at 13.30 till 13.40...... Then again at 15.00 for about 5 mins, then again at 16.30 for around another 5 mins, yet nearly the whole time we were under that pink stuff on the snow map... It really hasn't been trustworthy for this event.....

This ere' Polar Low, is now gonna miss the East Midlands, especially the more South Eastern parts Inc South Notts, Leicester, Northampton, etc, and Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, could get battered..... Hope it gets a slight southerly knock on the next runs.....

Looks good for leicester there!around 10cms from showers!!gota say though not.much for west mids!!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, and thats a big hmm.. Don't think Leicester will get anything overnight tonight, or tomorrow day, just have this feeling in my bones that our little dip will miss out, maybe a cm or 2 Friday, it's not even that cold.... Hovering around 0c to 1c.......

Report on LE3
Sunny/cloudy mix, -1.3c sun trying hard, but struggling... Large snowflakes spiralling downwards, no density yet, the snow is sort of making B-Lines for Wall corners and car wiper blade parking spots!!!
-
-2.6c right now, West End of Leicester...
-
Pink stuff nearing A1/Grantham now (00:10) will streamers set-up on the back of this, triggered by the Wash? Will it reach Leicester by dawn.....??

Leicester has had a virtually thunderless year (2017) I cannot remember a single storm that was ours (less than 4 miles away) Sure, we had a couple of grazers, storms that slipped by in the distance, but cannot recall any that would have had me outside sitting in the car....
-
Not all lightning is picked up by the detector network, I have been reliably informed that cloud to cloud, in cloud lightning more often than not is not detected.... However, a thunderclap like you're describing sounds like it should be the result of a positive ground strike.... I suppose it could have been missed by the detector grid...

loooooooooooooonggggg time lurker, first time poster. I love the running commentary on these forums. just been out playing footy with my lad and I can't quite believe how oppressive it is out there. The heat has built so much since 4 pm (in Hinckley) and looking to the skies I think I see the first signs of convection poking through the muck and the white clouds are darkening more every time I look to the skies. I reckon 8 pm onwards will be kick off time if it's going to happen at all.
love this place by the way! hope to become a regular (treat me gently though as I am no expert) ....yet!
Welcome fellow Leicestershirearian.. on a knife edge with regards yes/no (Thunderstorms) very, very humid, still, stagnant air, need a storm to bring the "PETRICORE" [Apologies if I have misspelled it]

The cumulus tower near mkt harboro is the same one I was watching yesterday evening, once the sun breaks through,I reckon that will explode.
The skies are far more messy than the last few days, the Midlands could be good today.

Is this that pesky anaprop/possible CU tower? It's still meandering about at 00:19 Tuesday morning!!! No visual, or audio, just radar splodge.....
I am used to it now. Though I can't be too bitter, we did pretty decent in December, 5 to 10cm twice.

That "storm" that was over Northampton/Milton Keynes is now going opposite direction, heading for London, what's going on with the weather...? It was moving north' ish, now south' ish, how's this possible?
