    Wow I have homeworks to do on binomials and factorials...scary! And I thought you were serious with that to start with! :lol:

    Snow isn't that heavy, the ground is soaked and it is settling. A lesson to those who doubted that it is possible! If the ground temperatures are cold enough then the snow will settle. Cyclonic happiness, I haven't seen any gritters or any fresh grit on the road, councils will get slated in the morning.

    Snow getting heavier and it looks like it is trying to settle on the grass. Temperature now very close to freezing, so it should settle fairly easily, flakes are small too so when we get the big flakes it will settle with ease.

    Yup. On a side note, has anybody else noticed the poor quality of Weather Online recently? Seems to be littered with typos and it looks as though it has been bodged together in 10 seconds. Proper snow now falling here, only light but it is getting heavier. Temperature and dew points not a worry anymore, DP is below freezing and Temp is not far off it.

    Wha...? It is a radar, the one I have paid for is a radar which is a snapshot of what HAS happened. Anyway it seems to have improved now, and there is some heavy PPN heading northwards by the looks of it!
  6. Nick L
    That's not the main problem with the radar IMO. If you look in the south Midlands region, it seems to be very odd - a mixture of heavy and light in patches, with very sudden transitions between the 2, is there something wrong with the radar? Edit: This is much clearer on the zoom on the NW radar.

    That frankly is a disgrace. The chances of lying snow at all are slim, let alone disruptive lying snow. There are going to be a lot of angry parents tomorrow.
  8. Nick L
    Careful Andy, you could have the PC brigade after you!

    Unfortunately I don't think we will. The heaviest precipitation looks staying well to the south, we may get the odd heavier burst but it seems as though this system has shifted southwards after worries last night that it may be too far north! Temp now 0.7c and DP now 0.2c btw.
  10. Nick L
    Oh thank F...ishfingers for that! Sudden temp drop to 0.7c and it has finally turned to snow. Only fine and light but it's snow.
  11. Nick L
    Well as long as it is snowing heavily over in Cannock itself then I don't mind - anything to get me a day off!
  12. Nick L
    Yeah parts of Wimblebury (anything funny about that one Andy :lol: ) are 250m, will almost definitely be snow there.
  13. Nick L
    WHAT?! I am in Norton Canes! I am off to the lamp post, be right back! Nope, still heavy rain
  14. Nick L
    I am starting to concede that we will not see snow tonight. Conditions seem ideal, dew point about freezing, heavy precipitation and a temp of 1.1c - and it is still raining. I even have decent elevation of 145m. My apologies go to those who I doubted.
  15. Nick L
    Yeah, what happened to the gloating!
  16. Nick L
    Temperature 1.4c and dew point 0.6c, both falling. Should start to turn to snow very soon.
  17. Nick L
    Is that moderate PPN over Hereford anaprop? It has been stuck there for ages.
  18. Nick L
    Yes. If heavy enough, snow can settle on very wet ground, provided it has both the intensity and the cold temperatures. Another problem is that the rain will wash the grit away, and with the shortage of it this could cause some major problems in the morning. Temp now 1.7c, surely it should start to turn wintry soon?
  19. Nick L
    Well the weather is crazy sometimes. Yesterday it was snowing at 3.7c. Today it is 2.0c and it is lightly raining - but it is very cold rain with the odd icy bit thrown in. But this is all expected so let's see what happens
  20. Nick L
    If heavy enough it can. It happened to me last night. Last October was a good example. And remember January 2004? That occurred because the rain washed the grit off the roads and froze.

    Hot off the 18z GFS: http://www2.wetter3.de/Animation_18_UTC/30_30.gif http://www2.wetter3.de/Animation_18_UTC/36_30.gif I won't get 20cm of snow no, the higher ground in the Midlands will get that. But I am certainly hoping to get at least 2 to 4 inches.
  22. Nick L
    I know, I know. Some comments this evening are quite bizarre.
  23. Nick L
    He did say the northwards extent was uncertain, but he then went onto say the Midlands would still be worst hit.
  24. Nick L
    The words of Jay Wynne on the 10 o'clock news forecast: "The Midlands really baring the brunt of the snow, with 2 to 8 inches here" Still looking very promising
  25. Nick L
    Although a bit of a harsh comment, I agree with your general point. It seems that it is a case with some people of "if I'm not having any snow, then neither is anyone else" which really isn't helpful.
