snow-rain-sleet and now currently snow here in north Nottingham
Moderate snow after sleet here in Chilwell - JUST starting to stick on damp drive...
-
That was weird! At 1pm we had a substantial mass of snow cloud approaching NG9 from almost due South. At 1.20pm I noticed a few flakes. Having seen no more snow I just checked the radar again, and it's like the parting of the Red Sea! The cloud mass split into two exactly where I am and skirted to both E and W. Disappointing, to say the least!
-
Real Hollywood snow in Chilwell now - re-settling readily on roads. Down to 0.4C...
-
Surprised you have not seen more... you should be getting the showers which are hitting here. Your best snowfall will come this afternoon and through into the evening, as a band of heavy and more persistant snow pushes up from the SE.
As always, the biggies are just skirting us in NG9. Hope for better later!

Heavy snow shower. 4 cm level snow depth on grass, 1.5 on concrete drive. Temp now -1.5C. When's the big stuff expected in Nottingham??
-
3cm HERE ALREADY WOOOOOOOOOOO JUST HAD A STREAMER
Me thick: what IS a streamer - seen it said loads of times?!!

Stop me if I'm just being a grumpy OM... but 'heavy snow' seems to be cropping up a lot - even on BBC - and then they say 'up to 5 cm'!! Get real - heavy snow's got to be minimum 4 or 5 INCHES lying. Anything less is little more than a dusting. The last 'heavy snow' we had was 1989, when power lines came down. Maybe everyone's got so used to almost zero snow that they don't know the difference! Same problem with TV forecasters talking about temps 'plummeting' to -2C. A plummet has got to be at least to -6!!! OK... back to the fun: we've had about 3000 flakes so far, but I'm praying for something heavier! And it's just 'plummeted' to -0.1C in Chilwell... better get the coal in.

Nottingham snow!
From my bedroom window:
Stopped again now with only a few bits left on the ground...
Looks like The Park?? Used to live Newcastle Drive!

Chris
Can you go and wave at your streaming camera?? lol
30 to 40 cms on Pennines. I would suggest 30cms for North York Moors and maybe 20 for The Wolds.

No Chris yet... but LIVE snowflakes visible!

Slight snow falling here in Alfreton Area.
Just got my live webcam streaming for anyone to view http://217.155.179.222:8080/home.html
Nice work Chris - now let's see some real action!!
-
First light flurry in Chilwell, south of Nottingham - 11.30. Maybe it will happen after all.....
-
Moderate sleet in Chilwell, south of Nottingham now - 2.5C. Very little wind.
-
What has happened to the radar in the last 2 or 3 days? The new colours seem unavailable.
My apologies! I must have loaded a different setting inadvertently. Dohhh. It's fine now!

I did have a LaCrosse 2300 weather station. Good value for money setup. I now have (thanks to the builder destroying that one) an Oregon WMR928NX. that came with 3 extra sensors for £299. Haven't really had a good chance to explore it yet but for the money it seems a good station and you can add extra sensors.
Great - what are your initial impressions of the oregon? It looked quite interesting to me....

I've been fascinated by weather for many years, and am now seriously considering buying some better equipment. I currently have a simple indoor display, fed by a sensor outside, for max/min. However I want MORE!! I want to record pressure, wind, rainfall & humidity too - maybe even sunshine. I love gadgets (sadly!) and really like the look of some of the more serious wireless home stations I've seen on the net. I could have a budget of around £300 for the right stuff, but urgently need advice / recommendations before going further... Any help will be much appreciated!

Ever vigilant in the fight against clutter, I have these Royal Meteorological Society monthly analyses with daily charts - pretty much mint condition - available for a good home! Would gladly exchange for an upgrade subscription to NW Extra (from Radar only) or something equally appealing!! The period covers 2 red hot summers (1975 was hotter in Scotland even than 1976). Let me know if interested...
(Apologies if I am not supposed to do this here).

Temperature has just dropped 5 degrees C in around 7 minutes here in Chilwell. I heard hail on the windows and now it is a mix of hail/sleet, and extremely gusty! Great weather (unless you're my wife)...

Now 2.4C - wet snow. Thank God for a bit of proper weather!!

After having just been woken up by one of the heaviest squalls of rain I've seen since June and an extreme gust of wind I thought I would post on here. I tried to get some video/sound but it was too dark and I didn't have time. Current conditions:
Weather: Heavy Rain
UV Index: 0 Low
Wind: From the South at 20 gusting to 31 mph (probably more now)
Dew Point: 16°C
Humidity: 100%
Visibility: 6 miles
Barometer: 1001.0 mb
Also just woken by a violent squall: one huge gust and lashing rain at approx. 6.35am. Golf tent separated from securing pegs and deposited in rear hedge! Also some 18" of mortar ripped out of house wall. Now 'all quiet on the Western front' after another hour or so of intermittently heavy rain.
The line squall shows vividly on NW Radar postcode zoom - great work!

Light snow just South of Nottingham at 8am. Only recently started, but settling readily. Temp. 0.0 C. Disgusted to hear a BBC Radio reporter from Worcestershire (I think) banging on about snow starting at 3am and "snowing very heavily for 3 hours", leaving AT LEAST 2.5" cover!!! If that's heavy snow, I'm the Prime Minister.... Why do they 'hyperbolise' about weather all the time? Can't they see that they're talking nonsense?!
