Kettering is the same most we had for 2 years. Didn't expect this tonight.
We had an inch early hours Friday but more out the sticks. In fact between here and Bedford some fields have even held on to a bit! Difference tonight is that the same amount has accumulated irrespective of the surface. Slowing down a bit but perhaps more to follow off the Wash. Great stuff.
-
Good 2-3cm cover here on all surfaces.
-
Snow is moderate to heavy here now, accumulating quickly 2cm so far!
-
This is all rather good, light covering already. Good direction from the Wash too.
-
Snowing in kettering.
Waiting for some flakes. Any minute now I reckon.
-
I was annoyed with the max temperatures forecast on the BBC main forecast this morning. 6 degrees, really? Look East had a max of 2C. Correct for here, weather station maxed out at 1.7C. Bedford did get up to 3C. Looks like some precipitation inbound within the hour and even if not heavy will be 100 percent and settle.
-
Radar looks positive for something arriving shortly!
-
For us we need really a NE feed straight off the Wash - shortest route to the Sea. NNE in a slack flow and they do tend to die a death around Rutland/Stamford before they get here or light dregs before they completely fizzle. Wash streamers are rare. In the 15 years I've lived in Rushden can probably think of two genuine ones.

There seems to be very few east midlanders on here. We all do very differently depending on the setup. No snow showers here in Nottingham as yet! We might get a light covering later though.
I think there will be one more snow opportunity after this cold spell comes to an end- not based on anything but a hunch. Most likely a repeat of the marginal events of this winter as I really cannot see long lasting northern blocking setting up this winter.
I generally post in the Midlands thread though being in the far SE of the region I do check the SE/Anglia one too as only 5 miles from North Cambridgeshire. As we are downwind of Peterborough in these setups it's good to see what TETIS is posting. Even look at the Yorks/Lincs discussion as south Lincs is only 25 miles away.

I came over from BBC snow watch or ''slow watch" cause it was painful. Forgotton about Bill Farkin - wasn't he the guy that based his forecasts on his ducks behaviour or something like that?

mr crazy snowfan, Bill Farkin, Dave Allen, AnotherpintofMild, they were all on there in the early 2000's and then it closed every night at 10pm sharp!
I think I am Forum number 27 on here, came across with Stephen Prudence when Paul set up Netweather, in the early days there was only a few threads on here and 100 members in the first few months.

Light snow continues. Vague dusting. Are people snowed in?
-
Moderate snow, slight settling.
-
Windy so none of the light flakes stand a chance.
-
Only light snow here.
-
Dew points are low now, radar is somewhat false. Can see the moon through a haze and nothing falling at the minute.
Light snow. But it is snow not a wintery mix.
-
Despite what the rainfall radar is showing there isn't a great deal falling out the sky.
-
I wouldn't get too excited just yet. What happens here may be a proxy but after 10 minutes of good flakes now just blowing the odd one in the wind. Need heavier stuff because the air temp is well above freezing - 1.6 C here currently.
-
Dewpoint is low -1.8C but air temp high 1.7C. No chance of settling.
-
Snowing here, not heavy enough to settle. This afternoon saw off the last of Friday morning's lying snow.
-
To my surprise it is snowing. After the snow this morning (which didn't settle) the wind thawed all that was left and it felt quite mild this evening.
-
The band has pepped up as its arrived here. snowing quite heavily which is happy days as i didn't think it would reach this far.
Northampton might just catch this downstream.
Doubt it will make it to this side but chance of some flurries. Mostly watching the stuff over Northern England which is probably on an East of M1 track.
-
It's heading just East of the IOW, will probably enter the channel between Portsmouth and Brighton - the finger of PPN on the Eastern side of it may effect W/SW London and the extreme West of the SE, but most of us will miss it I think.
The PPN of interest is the stuff over Northern England, should take a more SE track as it pushes into the Midlands
I've been trying to stress this is the main thing to watch overnight in the Midlands thread. Quite favourable here as it arrives, good freeze going on from last nights snow. Lots still left in the surrounding countryside, full covering in the park and fields heading out of town. This helps in situations like these.
