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!
-
Dont even think about driving in and around the conurbations tomorrow. All it takes is a couple of bell ends with rear wheel drive Mercs or BM's, revving the rollocks off the car, to lose it on the slightest of gradients and it will be gridlock!!!
I remember leaving Cradley Heath at 4:30pm a few years back and not getting home till 11pm.
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!
-
If your watching, I'm watching. What does the 18z suggest for Sunday night/Monday? PPN looks poor again tommorrow. 2-5cm tops.
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
-
5-10 a little optimistic, just looks light and patchy, may just manage 2cms if we are lucky
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!

East & West Midlands kept separate (62 votes [56.88%])
One Midlands thread (47 votes [43.12%])
Split threads it is then!

pah, frustrating! oh, and gravelly hill, great views of the lovely motorways of the midlands
-
Think ill leave this for tonight then come on tommorow evening, dont want to get this mixed up with important things but it keeps distracting me!
good idea, prepare for the doommongers latching onto any hope it wont snow!
-
Well shuggee came back to me earlier today to say that apparently the requests supporting the split Midlands threads currently outweigh those asking for a remerger. I have to say I'm surprised, as that wasn't quite the impression I'd gained over the past couple of days, but hey ho
I've asked shuggee if he would still consider a poll so we could all get a chance to vote one way or another - let's see what the comeback is.

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.
-
You know what? that's not far off from being true
i should speak less

Models all looking good for Friday and into the weekend. Well I've got grit, winter tyres, a snow-shovel, and with 3 full feeders of seeds and nuts, a bird-table and ground-feeder topped up and low-freezing point water, hopefully both me, my OH and the birds are now sorted. Roll on Friday
!(If I've jinxed it by typing that I'm going to scream - loudly)
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
-
tbh as long as its 5cm+ ill be very happy, anyway ill be back on to seem ecm and the 18z
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
-
No fog here (where I work in Burton on Trent), but the hoar frost looks beautiful. I must confess I suspect Fiidays snow will stay south and east of this part of staffordshire but you never know.
east? surely if anything south and west. yep i wouldnt be surprised such is our luck
-
Sorry everybody, but the Friday snow event is officially not happening...........I've booked Friday afternoon off in anticipation, which is bound to put the kybosh on things!
If it doesn't happen for us Midlanders, you'll know who to blame
Bish
i darent mention that s word, it's profanity in every sense!
-
lets keep it civilised folks
-
18Z not as good, yes agree with conor, this trend will continue, the block to our NE is too strong
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
-
Half of winter has almost gone........and the wee lads in the forecast and strat thread expect us to keep the faith...imao SSW dont always provide for us it just means more chances of blocks in the northern hemisphere they could be anywhere.
.
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.

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.
