Had a snow shower here 20 mins ago
We didn't. Though the sky going an odd colour out to the east.
-
Both my former homes, Epsom and Charlwood got a reasonable amount last night. Meh. Shame.
-
I know the primary is snow, but I have actually enjoyed following this "event". I have found it fascinating as to the amount of changes in forecasts and the downgrading/upgrading.
I think I have learnt more about the weather with this than ever before.

wow - avoided the radar for a good hour or so and what a difference!
View with animation on gives a bit of a clue as to what might happen. If the pink blobs make it as far as me I might go for a walk (unless its past midnight or something..)
Hope it picks up more and across the East and West mids!
It's toddling northwards at a bit of a lick!

Cmon pushhh you can do it
And on towards Loughborough

Well my trusty little Oregon clock has been saying rain for a few hours. I saw mackerel sky earlier, so I guess ppn is likely here. I am placing my bets on clear snow.
Something about the sky though. If not now, then maybe into Feb.
This is not scientific and I will probably be wrong.

Ooh look Loughborough is white. Does that mean snow?

Look at all these from the BFTE last year, pretty much everything missed us
You see that hole at the bottom of the chart on the right? Just above Brighton? That was where we lived. Virtually nothing there either. I thought moving north would increase my chances, seems East of Loughborough ain't so good either
-
NW give me this. Okaaaay. Seems a bit FI at this stage. I thought the weather was supposed to take a warm turn for a bit?

Here's a nice pic of 8am.

Slight downgrade for the big snow event not reaching so far north now.
Oh that's now marginal for me. Shame.
-
Just been to the loo. Still no freezing fog!!
-
I can confirm we do not have any freezing fog at the moment.
-
Think Loughborough is just a tad too high and too East, sadly.
-
I was looking forward to something before dinner. Now it's too far south again. Awww
-
Oh. That's a shocker. I better not call anything as we are a little marginal.

A better one.
You can see how the snow gathers a few miles to my south and refuses to go any further north.
I feel your pain with this one.

Last year, when I was still living in Charlwood in Surrey, the BftE was a shoe-in for really heavy snow. When you get a good easterly in that area you can end up with an easy 6 inches or more of snow. We had some heavy snow which all melted very quickly, despite most areas around us getting loads and it stayed. The most interesting stuff we got was frozen rain.
As an aside, when I was in Epsom, I think it was Jan 2009, we had the heaviest snowfall in the country. About 13" over about 24 hours. Again, easterly.
My point being that neither of these 2 weather patterns were forecast. Charlwood was supposed to get a right dumping and Epsom was to get a couple of inches. Anything can change at the last minute. The best weather forecasting is the mk1 eyeball!

Keeps us in the game. If not the heaviest precipitation at this point.
Bit marginal for me. Ask it to try again.
