    Snow Watch: Midlands & C Southern England

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    During monday and particularly evening and over night, what you will get is snow and upto 10 cm. During tuesday, i feel it will depend more on how high your location is. Down at lower levels it may well turn to sleet and rain. I sooooooooooooooooooo hope that it doesn't but it is better to say what i think rater than hope!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bournemouth needs a dump (of snow that is :) - first time I've put Bournemouth and dump in the same sentence, I never will again about the lovely place) because a cover is well overdue! I do have some pics from last April from Verwood when snow just about stuck around in the morning. I hope that all of East Dorset is all white come Tues!

    No lying snow here so far this winter, so hoping that we can at least get 1 day of snowcover at 0900 from this spell.

    Hello there reef, I'd be very interested to know how things go in Hull, due to it being so near the coast. Would be nice to know if you get anything laying, be sure to let us all know how the snow progresses! :)

    lets hope that mild sector gets delayed on the gfs today and tomorrow for later on monday :)

    If it does we could get a real dumping :o

    Yes, that mild sector is a thorn in the side. :) Though I'm quite hopeful that the uppers shouldn't get higher than -3 so that the sleet that may fall maybe more of a snow mix, and any potential cover could remain. :)

    im not overly confident this area has been predicted 2-5cms on so many occasions yet ive nt seen more than 2mm for a long while. metoffice saying 5-10 this time round would be nice if they underestimated things for a change.

    Yes, I know how you feel. Remember the event before Christmas (the snow to rain one)? The national forecast seemed convinced most places north of the Wash might see snow, but it was just rain here. The East Mids local forecast (with good old Des Coleman!) was consistent in forecasting rain then. I might be more inclined to follow them!

    Well here in South Normanton NetWeather Snow Risk says about 2mm on Sun and 4mm on Monday, Would be nice to see some of the white stuff around here as i am 450Feet ASL

    Ah, you're favoured! :) Hopefully the very slight altitude (about 150m is that?) may give you the edge in the mild sector! Fingers crossed!

    Not seen much snow here this winter appart from about 3 dustings. Also just over 1cm

    which lasted a few days. Last easter sunday was awesome though with about 8cm ;)

    I don't think there's been a flake in the city of Nottingham! ;) There has been in the Peak District and other outlying areas, but not here.

    You'll be one of the first in the firing line as this comes in!

    Same here, not much snow this year apart from a few dusting's, can't complain though considering some have had none. Maybe this time i will have enough for a snowball fight ;)

    Would be lovely, wouldn't it? Most parts of the country seem to be desperate for just that something special this time! ;)

    So what we think - 6 foot of snow Monday morning so I don't have to go to work? ;)

    Oooh, if only! You should tell the Met Office - light snow showers forecast Sunday night across the East Midlands region, no doubt similar for our friends slightly further north.

    Their Monday to Wednesday forecast:

    Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

    Cold, further snow at times giving heavy falls in places, especially over hills. Snow may turn to rain or sleet at times at lower levels and on the coast.

    You mean the Park? Take a look as a detour when you're next walking into town - it's quite different to Lenton!

    A lovely sunny winters day with a max of 6.2 now 4.7c.

    I might well do, I reckon I'd probs be over that way (Allington Ave.) sometime next week for revision, could give it a look! See if it compared with Sandbanks in Poole (which is just a bit special)!

    It prob feels cold today as it's a very exposed spot to the westerly winds. But I imagine for marginal frost/ice formation those extra few feet make the difference.

    Just taken a 'turn about the Park' and this sunshine is lovely on all the fancy houses - makes me wish I was rich enough to afford one!

    Ah, that was on Wednesday. I'd had a massive hike from mine to the QMC to return a library book, then off to a friend's to revise with her. Just walking up that road (and this is midday) just felt colder. Like I said, might have been me.

    Didn't realise those houses were the nice ones...never seen 'em myself.

    Still sunny this side of Derby Road!

    Clear blue skies with just the odd fast moving cloud. Lovely day with an almost spring feel to it. Was a pretty wild & wet night last night - I do enjoy the Atlantic for providing lots of weather!

    Despite the wet night last night (which didn't damped our spirits too much!) it's been a good weekend with lots of sunshine and deep blue skies. Gimme this over most of the weekends this winter anyday!

    3.4c min now 6.1c

    The light shining into our house is blinding! What's going on with this?!?!

    By the way, you might just be right about that road up to the Park being colder at the top - I obscurely felt colder as I went up that road the other day. Maybe it was my imagination though...

    Afraid it's not been colder - at least not outside my house anyway! I think my close to city centre (Market Square 10 min walk) location keeps it slightly warmer too. I wonder if local topography makes a difference too since I live in a bowl shaped area - perhaps all that warm student air rolls down from Lenton into here! :diablo:

    I shouldn't have provoked you! Every time I post on here I'm gonna get some student banter back, wherever it's to!

    And I needn't post obs either as we have a Lenton correspondent!

    -2c out there at the moment making it the coldest night of the winter here, just about. For here this winter - a very low temp indeed.

    Has it not been colder? I thought it must have been! Must bring my thermometer back...or make my decent one work again!

    Oh and to keep properly on topic...frost didn't lift round here (East Dorset) all day on anything that was mildly north facing or our garden...I've seen ice in car parks and on roads (unusual given my lifetime/location!)

    I think the figure of 1.7 degrees is referring to the first part of the month, though it is very poorly worded and there is no definite limit on what this "first part of the month" is (it could well have been the first few night-time hours or something). Would have also been nice to have the average for the whole of the month present, seems a tiny bit selective to me, that.

    I've been longing to see this thread for weeks now! This was so much fun to read in winters past! Though, I guess that the alerts are in much more advanced phases at the current time? I think you could claim Level 4 Ramps at a push at the moment!

    But thanks so much for resurrecting this thread! Brilliant! :cold:

    Snow on the way? April 5th onwards cold snap

    That precip over North Wales appears to be moving south quickly enough to reach Bristol by midnight or soon afterwards.

    Further north the precip over Cumbria and North Yorkshire will probably reach areas including the West Country by about 4 am tomorrow morning.

    It'll depend whether most of us in the West Country actually believe that it'll happen! There's no snow in these parts even in winter, let alone now! :o

    Sunny Bournemouth, not only do we have no snow, but no severe weather full stop! Wel....give or take a few years ago I suppose. ;)

    I'd be inclined to agree, but it did snow on the day of my driving test, 3rd Jan this year, in Bournemouth, albeit for 10mins...and they weren't the most impressive flakes, but it's some form of snow and for Bournemouth, that's impressive!
