looks like a chunk of the midlands miss out on the warnings tomorrow - they are to the north and south of us, missing nuneaton / Hinckley/ Leicester etc. You couldn't write it!
Remember 2010 when it snowed everywhere except Nuneaton, bedworth, and Hinckley?

The snow is shown for Saturday, Sunday and Monday on the GFS. It is perfection for a massive Midlands snow event.
It is what people like Chiro and GP were suggesting for another couple of weeks of cold and snow.
The GFS was the chief protagonist for the break-down, It has switched in a big way to the GEM solution.
It is a massive upgrade....
MIA
Upgrade for cold yes but I'm not sure I agree about snow. It all seems to fade away before it gets here.

Oh it's been unhidden now lol

They removed my post on the model thread lol i dared to say tonight's run was a let down unless your south of the M4 lol

Hang on !! Hi res hirlam
I'm not buying it
let me down too many times

18z looking poor for snow from the front on Friday/ Saturday for the midlands

I'm backing the GEM
got to love the underdog. Seriously tho it's showing the jet so far south. Wouldn't this allow all low pressure systems to to take a more southerly track? I know we have lost the highs to canada by t132 but by t204 it tries to build highs over scandi of 1020. With the surface cold holding the low pressure systems at bay, a south tracking jet not putting real pressure on the cold air and highs trying to build over scandi I think this could be the outcome. Very finely balanced tho. Or I might just be miss reading the entire situation -

We should get snow. Just not sure how much. GFS says a little. ECM says a lot.
I'm cheering for the GEM

Wouldn't you know it snow clouds both north and south of here. Just looked on the radar and a clear gap all the way to the wash with my name on it lol

With regard to the front tonight aka the polar low, just been looking on the latest satellite images from Norway and to my eye it seems to be tracking slightly south of where the models have been showing it. Any thoughts?

So looks likes coventry will miss most of the snow today and tommorrow ?..and not pinning my hopes up for friday/sat etheir looks like a south event atm or am i wrong??
Sounds about right. I don't ever hold out much hope for snow on a easterly. Cov, Nuneaton and bedworth only seem to do well from a frontal system from the s/w and then it has to be just right or it turns back to rain. We are just too far inland for showers to carry from the east or west from the Cheshire gap. The mountains of Wales get in the way from the west and the peak district to the north. Also the Warwickshire plane is quite low so we don't benefit from any high ground.

One too many for the gfs on the pub run I think. It'll probably wake up in the morning and see the 18z out put and think OMG what did I do last night.

ECM looks to be sticking with its 00z suite to me at +96
Slightly further south maybe?
-
Ahhh trust the gfs to deal with a low pressure system like this
while it does have a tendency to overdo theses things it cannot be ignored. It has been known to pick up on a early trend.
