any names
You won't know them. They are also amateur but very experienced. Anyway I might be wrong who knows. But caution is best until T72

The charts are showing a cold spell but I'm told by a couple of reliable weather guys that they expect them to backtrack in 24 hours. I'm an amateur myself but this is what I am being told

There is a front expected to push in on Saturday some models suggest some decent hill snow but low ground and the coasts look like getting rain (or perhaps sleet if we're lucky) lol
Exactly. Even if we do get a colder spell it's being massively overplayed by the models

Just wait and see

I think a sustained cold spell is incoming but the models show barely any precipation. Just cold and dry is what will pan out.

I big improvement on the gfs 06z. However, I sense much weariness on this forum recently. I think many are suspicious of the better runs and to be honest I can't blame them.
Looks terrible to me. As usual people getting excited prematurely. I wouldn't look beyond the 144 range. Awful consistency among models past that range.

I didn't say torrential rain doesn't cause disruption. I was just stating that the past 2 days were far better for everyone vs 10 December where the whole of the public transport was cancelled in Walsall and Birmingham. Clearly you didnt have it as bad it Stoke. No one can deny that these last 2 days were safer condtions for driving and walking

not quite sure where your coming from here, I too saw a few accidents, mainly low speed fender bumps, but some people will drive out when conditions are poor (i know some have no choice, but many do.) Some of the driving skills on show were terrible, people going way to fast on hills with approaching corners, heavy braking, to high a gear, not being patient, or giving space to others, the list goes on. I even saw people driving up to the moors 275 to 350 metres, 6 inches of snow, with semi blizzard conditions, and NOT in a four by four, I,m mean why risk it, take the main roads instead. As for schools being shut, well lets get real, in these modern times it seems any excuse to shut a school, some even shut with just 2 to 3cms, I dont know how they would of coped in the 70s or 80s when snow was measured in good old feet and inches
weather is weather, what about fog, or heat waves in summer, all potentially more dangerous than snow, or wind storms.
I probably came across too harsh but people like MattStoke clearly don't think when all they want is snow. The past couple of days have been much better weather wise due to general safety. Safety is far more important than getting excited over snow
-
People who beg for snow are irrational thinking people. Yes it may be nice to look at but it can be potentially dangerous. In the midlands public transport was terrible, I saw numerous people slip over and bang their heads and schools were shut everywhere. So if think a bit of snow just so you can get excited is more important than people earning a living, childrens education and the general safety and wellbeing of people, particularly the elderly, then you are quite frankly deluded.

Great weather today. Clearly the best day of the winter. Nice and warm
-
Why is the Netweather radar still showing snow? Cleary rain Birmingham westwards
-
The Netweather Radar looks different to the Weather.com radar. On Weather.com looks like rain incoming into Walsall/Birmingham very soon
