Model Output Discussion - A cold start to Spring?
Midlander replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Forecast Model Discussion

Exactly, I know this winter its been unusual seeing London receive a dumping in December and ourselves were left cold and dry but they have waited many years for a significant snow event (5cm +). We've not had to endure that long a gap. Even looking north, quite a few times you'll pop into to the Northwest regional thread and see them reporting rain and sleet only for it to fall as snow further inland in the Midlands.

I disagree, that's being quite harsh on Birmingham. Birmingham is one of the snowiest cities, especially in relation to other cities in the Midlands and South. It's relatively high elevation and inland location helps. It can receive snow from the north west through the Cheshire Gap, from the east as there is no high ground to the east to stop the showers penetrating inland. Also, it does do well in battleground setups being afterall in the middle. Just because, this winter London has seen more snowfall (depth wise) doesn't mean this is a bad place for snow. And you say 'any interesting weather' well Brums has had it fair share of tornadoes and in recent years has had more thundery activity then parts of the south coast!

Nice, I was worried that we were entering a westerly dominated spell with no end in sight, this gives me some hope!
