wouldn't completely go with that forecast. i watched it earlier and it doesnt look the best but the radar will tell all today. think itll be persistant with heavier bursts. not whiteout conditions all day but enough for 5-10cm i should think.

over a cm here i should say, but early days yet. quite heavy and rapidly accumulating out there, gooood times!

right bed for me, up around 8ish and lets see whats occurrin!

2007? i remember leaving showcase cinemas in feb that year when we had a good 8-10cm, with the roads in gridlock and having to walk back to cradley heath in the hope there were trains running. thank the lord there were with that hill and us just being 15 at the time!

just ignore the models for now, and eyes down to the radar. what falls falls, id say there'll be a few cm anyway

all this pain and waiting may have paid off, MAY being the key word in hope it is not jynxed

snows slowing down here now in the port, just the odd flake, but a nice little covering on a cm or so away from the town centre

its not out of possibility though, we know things can change don't we! i reckon in the western parts of the midlands 2-5cm is definitely possible still.

might ignore all forecasts/chops and changes and come back this evening at like 7..... oh who am i kidding, i want to check every single model output and FAX change in the run up to this event and the inevitable lows that come with it!

its still up for grabs tbf folks, i just hope being that bit further west will stand me in better stead for tomorrow. still think currently we'll get a few cms, although matt hugo really does paint a disappointing picture

very disappointing words from matt hugo im afraid. the band will fizzle over the midlands with 2-5cm in places and very locally 10cm, wales and n.ireland look best placed. typical, and predictable!

pah, frustrating! oh, and gravelly hill, great views of the lovely motorways of the midlands

good idea, prepare for the doommongers latching onto any hope it wont snow!

im very much on the fence with this. happy for either outcome, lets face it, we feel our eastern neighbours from time to time get more snow than us, but the clues in the name as for north easterlys or easterlys(prime snow wind directions) they are obviously going to get more shower activity or be closer to the continental cold. but then again, PERHAPS, on friday the other side of the coin comes into play with an atlantic low trying to displace the cold and then we get more of the snow action. obviously, this is a more nervewracking situation but bigger stakes to be had. i think a merger brings in some healthy banter in fairness, more in favour of reintroducing.

i should speak less

nailed on now its going to diverge on the welsh border and reconvene around leicestershire, to drop 20cm around andys house. it causes a mass breakdown on the west midlands discussion with a rather abnormal intake of prozac in the region, while andy in leicester sits back on his rocking chair chuckling to himself

im like a kid in a candy shop atm

yep 5cm would be good tbf.

sounds fair, might not be the heaviest but as long as theres a fair covering im happy. too much snow just causes problems tbf

connor, we'd still get a fair covering judging by this run so why panic? things will chop and change as we all know

east? surely if anything south and west. yep i wouldnt be surprised such is our luck

i darent mention that s word, it's profanity in every sense!

lets keep it civilised folks

why should it? its only one run, it could go eitherway. we know itll move around and yes itll probably go anywhere but the midlands

agreed, i've given up with model output or the stratosphere thread. its nice to look ahead but until the snow is nailed on at T+48, then its still very much up for change, never mind T+144, even if the 'building blocks are in place' or 'there's a change of disruptive snowfall 4 or 5 days away.' 4 or 5 days is well up for change. This weekend could well swing back in our favour.
