snowhope

Let me know when it gets to you CG. I am in the shadow of the Malverns so I hopefully should get it just after

Seems a bit warmer in South Worcester today but no real signs of a thaw. No Snow today though but whilst the Met do do a wonderful Job and have called it pretty danm accurately this cold spell, the preciptation forecast sometimes just does not appear. No Complaints here though been a great spell of cold weather.

Where did this snow come from? None was forecase here tonight, but it is snowing!!! Just goes to show really that you can never be sure

Fell asleep at about 11pm last night on sofa, just woke up to perhaps another 2 inches of snow..... wow!

Had about 3 - 4 inches today which has been great. Gotta say though the majority of that fell this morning between 10:30 and 11:30 rest of the days its been very fine and very light or nothing at all. Not sure what overnight will bring yet, but am amazed to have had this much tbh.

holy crap, if only the GFS precipitation was right, I would be getting torrential snow tomorrow night!!!

I am even further south in Worcestershire than yourself, I will be waiting until next week to see any of the white stuff (Hopefully)

Thanks John, Yours were always posts to look for and I hope you will still be contributing in a "non official" capacity in the threads! All the best

heheh indeed, we keep coming back for more though. Back to rain here again now......

MI think my moan did it, its snowing , sleety mix but at least its white

Been all rain here, all day! John Holmes did say that this would be a non event for us lower level peeps. Wish I would have listened more to the net weather severe weather warning. Met have had heavy snow over my location from 3 am this morning and as per usual not 1 flake here. They continue to show this for worcester, Malvern and Pershore (the 3 main weather reporting stations to my location) but I no longer have confidence in this for the remainder of the spell. Even the Beebs forecasts had snow over us. I am just wondering what the SW Midlands needs to do to see some of the white stuff. I thought that this would be the ideal setup for snow for here, or was it just not cold enough before the rain band got here?

Netweather's very own John Holmes has called this most accurately. He stated it was always going to be an event for the higher altitudes. If we would have listenend to him in the first place there would be a lot more less surprised and unhappy people.

Similar here Bish, Todays output is looking so much more promising. I would be cautious though, although the trend is there, the finer details are yet to be pinned down, a bit like playing pin the tail on the mosquito at the moment!

Just about stopped now in South Worcestershire, an unexpected yet pleasant surprise!

I actually have sleet here in south worcestershire, Tears of joy are forming lol!

South Worcestershire has seen 0 from this, not really surprsed but I thought we might have seen something last night. Not disspaointed anymore as I am not really surprised to be honest. Most I have seen was on thursday of last week when we had a graupel type shower for 3 minutes at most. Nevermind.

oh its stopped Went really dark, all gone again now though lol

OMG It sleeting here

gotta be said, although the models were showing us lovely snow the met thus far have got it spot on..... again.

Lets hope thats the case, it is just the one run so far thats pushed the precipitation back to the eastern half of the region. Not confident for the next couple of days now however as the forecasters are not mentioning the midlands too much with ref to snow thus far.

Gotta say, I am a bit downbeat this evening going into this spell now, for us South West Midlanders it looked for a time that we could see something out of this. I am not one to moan normally but even with these synoptics we may just miss out again. It does always seem to downgrade these events as they get closer to T+ 00. We start looking away from Thursday friday now to Sunday and the start of next week but the snow always just creeps away or the precipitation bands dont make it over us. Just for once it would be lovely for it not to be so marginal and to know you are gonna get a pasting from the white stuff. This purely a regional thing, I am sure a lot of midlanders and people in more favourable area's will do well out of this! Chasing snow isnt quite the same as it falling on your doorstep though Lets hope for upgrades over the next 24 hours eh!

The last 3 nights especially has seen the 18z upgrade the forthcoming week in terms of cold and snow. IF you compare it to the previous days 18z like we are constantly reminded to. Cant wait to see tomorrows!

How would the Midlands and Wales Fair from this? Will it come down to just how potent the eastlery is or would us Westerners see lying snow to any depth from the current Synoptics? It just seems a lot of the really excited people (with good cause) are from the east/north east. Will this be a non event for us in terms of snow?

Wife asked me to put ours on today funnily enough, answer was simple.... no! Far to early :unsure:

We were always due to get light rain throughout themorning, The main band of heavy precipitation comes in the late evening. Wether or not it will be snow I dont know, time will tell
