[Midlands Cold Spell Discussion]

looks like this winters off to a familiar theme. Before Christas snow was forcast, all that come from it was a light dusting.

Today there were warnings about a large amount of snow, simalar to just before Christmas, and just as before nothing of any amount came.

I packed my car witha few warm items, spent a while trying to find my 'snow scraper' fully expecting some snow to build up during the day.

it started snowing quite heavily at about 10:00 am, but it had all stopped after 20 minutes leaving a light dusting, not even enough to make a snowball.

then at about 12:30 it started again, then promptly turned to drizzle, what had fallen started to thaw.

At the moment theres a few light flurries of snow about, but its not amounting to anything much, just another light dusting.

All the roads were completly clear on my drive home with the exception of a few puddles at the side. What snow had fallen was hiding behind a few clumps of grass.

Theres some warnings about heavy snow tonight, based on todays non event, and the pre christmas snow warning that left nothing on the grass, im extremly sceptical.

In Derby its chucking it down. Has done for the past 30 mins. Winter wonderland with a good cover everywhere :ph34r:

A light snow shower ahead of the main band has left a dusting in Derby on all surfaces even the road. Bodes well for the main band?

The East Midlands warnings only cover Derby City and Derbyshire now and it lasts until midnight. However looking at the radar maybe another hour or two as its already clearing Birmingham.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Started to settle in Derby now. Should end up with a couple of cm now.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Still not settling in Derby. Is is settling anywhere near here with the same elevation?

Snowing in Derby on the very wet surfaces

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Still rain in Derby although its light despite the radar saying moderate. However the later it arrives the more chance of it being snow I suppose.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

A new set of Warnings has been issued by the Met Office covering Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and Yorkshire and its valid untill midnight.

Just started snowing lightly in Derby

I think your smack bang in the middle of it mate, your area would probably see the most of it.

It feels too good to be true that tommorow there is a major snow event rather than FI. I would listen to the BBC and take note of their predictions. For that snow event in January they got it bang on despite many claiming London wouldnt see nothing yet even Central London had a dusting.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Discussion Pt 4]

Are Derby and Nottingham too far north to see the heaviest falls. The BBC and Met Office forecast is very good however some on this board are predicting it to be more of a Birmingham area thing which would be highly annoying knowing a place a few miles down the road is getting a good dumping. I could be soo soo close bet yet again no cigar.

[Will it snow in......?]

Will it snow in Derby and how much could accumilate?

[Wintry/snow reports]

Some ice pellets/ wet snow in Derby. It looks as if half the city was under sunny skies whilst the north east of the city saw the heavy shower. The city centre had sunny blue skies above but the wind brought in a flurry to the city centre.
