Here in Hinckley we missed out on the snow yesterday and it doesn't look great for this batch! We always seem to be on the edge of a band and then it fizzles out. Get fed up of hearing about other people's snow! Lol

No shower activity in Hinckley, nor does there look anything remotely showery out to the NE of us. All the showers are north of us and that huge blob over Gloucester is just sat there. Is it wrong that with us missing all this wintry weather to the north and south that all i want mild south westerly to blast all this snow away so no one has any? - then we are all in the same boat. I have people in our office saying 30 miles down the road they have a covering

We have snizzle in Hinckley, nothing close on the radar. Like tiny little hail stones

Get so frustrated with snow, we are so unlucky with snow in Hinckley and Leicester area, we don’t get snow showers when the Cheshire gap streamer goes as they die out before they reach here. Same with easterly wind showers. The only time we tend to see it is with frontal snow from the west and that usually means milder weather is coming and it turns to rain! Rant over lol. I better not here any of the SE mob moaning about lack of snow again for a while it’s been snowing all night so they must have a good covering

In terms of tomorrow I think we just now have to watch the radar and see how far north it goes. Most of the models have there own take. Not many had that front so far north yesterday so might be the same tomorrow. Hopefully we all get some.

It’s finally changed to wet snow! Lol

Think that chart is the rates per hour, however after today I am not expecting much

Absolutely lashing down with Rain in Hinckley, this is a non event!!!!!! Not even any sleet

Its great its turning to snow but a lot of the front is past - it seems to be decaying now so suspect it will have cleared the midlands by 6pm. Good news if you live Cambridge way

Nothing but drizzle in Hinckley - Watching the radar and cant really work out where the precipitation is heading - looks as it we have missed the heavier stuff to the north - Not sure we will get anything to talk about unless the front really peeps up later this evening.

ICON 6z has pushed the snow band north again for Thursday - You cant write it can you! lol - Whilst thats a good thing for most of us in the Midlands i am not holding my breath as it will prob change again

Yeah that what i am hoping - looks like the snow event on Thursday is moving South bit by bit so as you said could miss us all together - Im sure the models with move it around run by run - however the trend is not our friend currently

Why is our thread so quiet? All the other regional threads are going nuts? I know there is some doubt for the extent of the snow, however the Midlands is in half decent shape for both

Well said!

I’m getting confused. Isn’t this the Model Thread?. Just caught up this evening and have had to double check I wasn’t in the South East regional thread? Lol

Some real doom mongers and moaners on here the last few days (especially today)!. I am not a "Mod" obviously but can these please use another thread???. Its great watching peoples commentary of the runs that come out and their knowledgeable opinions or views on it., however it keeps getting interrupted by people who just love a sarcastic or clever comment - Rant over (technically this should be on the rant thread!! lol)

Pretty good snow event last night in Hinckley, please we got to get some.

Think the BBCs weather for here in Hinckley is well wide of the mark. Heavy snow showers all day. I don't think so

Looks like it's been snowing most of the night in Hinckley, not sure how much has come down as it's drifted all over the place, we have 1 foot drifts in the back garden up the railway sleepers. I have my little boys Sunday league match to go to at 9am. I'm hoping it's called off lol

Think the wind has shifted a bit more to the east now rather than from the NNE. Means that line of showers near Leicesters going to go North! ?

Looks like there was something that resembled snow here (a few flakes on the patio table) last night but the front completely weakened as it's past through Leicester and Hinckley. No surprise to see it peep up quite a lot after it passed us, which is a very regular occurrence for precipitation rates. Figured if I want snow need to move lol

Agreed - Nottinghamshire took a direct hit the other week with a wash steamer so it's only fair it sets up a little further south and hits the other parts of the midlands this time lol. We can dream I suspect it will miss us in Hinckley again by 20-30 miles. We always seem to be to far North,East,West or South for showers whichever way they come from. We do better from frontal snow

Heavy rain on the window this morning marking the end of a great week of cold weather. Have to say it's been extremely frustrating at times but we got some decent snow in the end. Ps it's amazing how the heavy bursts on the radar seem to make it to us when it rains but if it's snow it dies away lol ?

Yellow weather warning for ice today across the midlands but does mentioned maybe some more snow 1-2cm possible. How likely is this anyone? Looks like it's raining on the south coast now?

Could this be a case of the radar lying? We apparently had blues radar echoes over us all last night but we didn't get a flake?
