You may be out of look dude loking at the calender forecast.The guy on calender did say you may get sleet when the rain becomes heavier.Good thing is theyl be know water shortage come summer.

True enough! I'm not too fussed really, at least I won't have to watch it wash away tomorrow.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Still rain here, I give up.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Just to confirm, are the chances of snow at low levels from this second band moving in practically nil for the north midlands (such as north nottinghamshire?). It's a real shame, just turns to snow and seems to be getting somewhere, and the band looks set the move away from here within the next hour.

Any settling where you are?

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

I like rain me, it's mint.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Still rain here...

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Waheyy!! Finally it has turned to snow here in Newark!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

I know i'm moaning but I don't care.

Yesterday we were too far north to get settling snow (although 15 miles SW got 5 inches).

Today not only am I too far north, but it would seem judging by the snow in Yorkshire that I am too far south.

Oh well, i'm off to play in the puddles.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Still heavy rain in Lincoln.

Must be some snow for Lincoln and Newark tonight surely, after all the rest of the East Midlands have had some.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

I don't wish to burst your bubble but here in Peterborough we have only had rain/sleet with a temp of 2C. Last time I checked Lincoln is 3C so be prepared to only see sleet/rain and just hope the heavier precip which missed me reaches you.

it's 2c now. i'm not that confident but more confident than I was earlier.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

im actually getting excited now. dew point down to 0c.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Look at how much that band weakens when its tries to push northwards over a line of Manchester and South Yorkshire. Though the green still produce some good size flakes i still can't believe it weakened that much.

Still yellow heading in our general direction.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Right so everywhere it's been wet it's now sticking..correct?

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Coming down even heavier now. Roads that were full of puddles and slush are now covered again.

Got a friend who lives in your area and he's just rung to say that massive flakes are falling around there.

ooh stop it i'm getting all confident now. our roads have puddles on..i'm off out in an hour for a party..i feel like chucking snow at people tonight. please let it happen!

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Looks like your getting your own back! We had 4-5" here yesterday just 20 miles from Nottingham, and just sleety rain now. I don't believe it lol, everywhere in Nottinghamshire has settling snow apart from myself - Sods law.

At least you got some yesterday!

We got a light dusting which melted straight away

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Cymru, did you have much rain before the snow arrived?

And if you did has the snow settled on it?

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Rain beginning to get heavier now.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12]

Any reports from Newark/Nottingham?

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Well its now just cloudy here, but around lunchime it was really snowy, here's two pics taken on mobile (as you can tell as it looks like we had heavy confetti in pic 2 )

The irony of there being palm trees in them pictures.

still LIGHT DRIZZLE in Lincoln. hardly drying up

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Here too. Starting to worry a little bit about those N Sea SSTs again. Shouldn't be a factor here though the Easterly breeze might be moderating air temps - currently 3.7c - 4.2c along the Lincs Coast with 11-16kt easterly winds. Timing could be in our favour - the sun going down will no doubt help.

I was just thinking the heavier stuff may get here when it's just getting dark. Temp now 2.4c in waddo.

PS where can you check dew points?

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

whats your guess on how long this will last, precip hasnt been in a rush since it started

Looks like you could easily get a few hours of heavyish stuff.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

how likely is it that snow can settle on soaked ground? we are gonna need a miracle here.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Not so good news to your south - still rain with a little sleety muck here in Grantham - we should be right on the edge of the heavier ppn now, so I'd be expecting any change to snow imminently, if it's going to change.

I'm heading out to Leadenham tonight if I do play poker, was hoping there'd be a bit of snow about as it's further south.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Good news from the Notts gang!

Let's hope it keeps changing and we get some heavy snow!

I'm meant to be playing poker at 6, but don't know if I want to now

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

PL, the ground is going to be drenched by the time the snow arrives I reckon, but you never know as it looks like the heavy stuff will arrive early evening here when it should have cooled down a bit.

3.1c in Waddington, oh dear!

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Polar Low, will you keep me updated with events down where you are please, as I'd guess what your getting will come up the bypass to merry old Lincoln.
