Yippee finally have snow
-
Dark clouds suddenly bubbling up in Nottingham, could we finally join in with the rest of Notts
-
Its coming down here like crazy now total whiteout !!! Blowing it down to the west midlands
Forget the west Midlands how about sending some further south to Nottingham LOL, Nothing worse than hearing how well North Notts are doing just up the road, without doubt jealous
-
That's annoying again...10 miles down the road from you and its blue skies and no snow. Not even had any rain lol.
Sadly the Nottingham snow shield is in full affect today, bright blue skys albeit cold
-
Well the Cheshire Gap worked its magic on the City of Nottingham, Snow to the north of us & snow showers to the south but bugger all in the middle for us. (is that a song LOL)
Disappointed & although it is forecast to remain cold, I don't see any real snow opportunities for Nottingham in this cold snap
-
We just a had a fairly heavy snow shower & im sure I heard a clap of thunder, it certainly went very black however now bright sunshine
-
Unfortunately aside the usual suspects eg derbyshire peaks etc I cant see us fairing that well as a region as a whole re snow in this kind of set up however as the cold digs in somebody could be in for a pleasant surprise & it wouldn't take much for our region to become more favourible. Get the cold and at least thats one battle won

Umm it looks like the East Midlands could potentially do well out of the next few days, a covering at least however again we are on the edge
-
Interesting that the met has no warnings out for the Midlands.
They obviously feel it will only effect the North.
Hope we get some warnings.
Thats not true, there is currently a Yellow warning for parts of the East Midlands, North Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire, still a chance that could extend further south

Actual snow here now, unfortunately too late to amount to anything
-
A bit of sleet now in Nottingham
-
Well the Nottingham snow shield worked a treat albeit slighly late kicking in, went to bed at 11pm to heavy snow beginning to settle, woke up this morning to nothing & drizzle LOL
However by all accounts North of Nottingham eg Mansfield etc does have a decent covering, another case of so near yet so far. However can't grumble too much this winter after the treat we had boxing day
-
Current projections show it hitting the E Mids Derby/Nottingham just after 1900
lets hope it gets here & then stalls so I can go on the Yorkshire page & take the mick LOL
-
Not looking great for Nottingham, forecast keeps pushing it back timewise & just light snow. Best we can hope for I believe is a dusting unless it can beef itself up as it pushes north
-
Have to say I'm usually quite fortunate in my area of Nottinghamshire we often see snow - whether a good dumping or a flurry.
talking more the City Of Nottingham, Norths Notts usually fairs well
-
Our local paper now saying that the Met office is suggesting it will hit Nottingham at Rush Hour today, don't see that myself
-
Pretty sure West Mids nearly always does better than East (bar peak district). Most systems that arrives from the west dies out the further it gets towards east mids
Agreed, here in Nottingham we often appear to miss out. When snow arrives from the West, it often lost most of its potency or peetred out by time it hits us or if its coming from the East too far inland to benifit from snow showers that come in from the North Sea

I am right in thinking its another band coming in later which peps us what is currently in wales which hits the Midlands. The annoying thing about living in Nottingham during these West to east snow events is that we're only 40 miles away from Birmingham & they can be being hammered while we don't see a flake although I have known it to be raining in Brum while snowing here LOL

EURO4 6z shows heavy snow for a time in the E Mids, but little accumulation. It seems to me that the conditions are primed for accumulation with a dry ground, low enough DP and ppn heavy. Let's see if it's right!
I wonder if they will consider splitting this thread into W Mids/E Mids as that could cause some frustration later on.
I find that very odd, surely if we get a period of heavy snow then it will settle given the conditions tonight.
Given the size of the region its very possible us in the East could be disappointed however who knows, definitely a wait & see on this one. My main concern is the front coming in doesn't look that potent to give anyone a period of heavy snow certainly not over here in the East
-
Got to love the weather, the same weather lady on radio Nottingham who only yesterday was talking rain is now talking snow for everyone tonight
-
Well, let's see what kind of cruel tease the models will invent over the next few days ay?
We still have the coldest month to go and I believe that we will have given up completely only for something magical to appear at short notice.
There are no records of two winters on the trot having zero lying snow, that fact at least, is in our favour.
In fairness some parts of the Midlands have done quite well, we had bugger all last winter not even a flake yet this winter we had lying snow from Boxing Day till New Years Eve.
I appreciate that is no confort to you in your neck of the woods but some parts of the Midlands have done well. Sadly tomorrows potential snow event just doesn't look like panning out but with it being only the 19th of Jan its far to early to write the rest of the winter off. As today has shown the models can quickly change

When you say the BBC, do you mean an actual BBC TV forecast?
Or do you mean the BBC's algorithmic not-a-forecast? (the pictures on their website) Which is not quite the same thing
I meant the symbols on their website, this morning it was rain now its snow again. It was just an observation not to be take seriously hence the LOL at the end of my post.
My own view is like I said earlier, im sure some will get a surprise while others will be disappointed. For us in Nottingham it also depends how much precipitation makes it this far East, could all break up before it hits us so the Snow or Rain debate could well be academic for us.
Boxing Day was a classic example of the kind of uncertainty we are seeing now, for Nottingham it was forecast as all rain event on the day & even that may miss us. It then did indeed start as rain but then it quickly turned to snow, giving us a unexpected surprise
-
All over the shop, BBC now saying heavy snow for Nottingham tomorrow night LOL
-
I think its safe to say that somewhere will no doubt be in for a pleasant surprice tomorrow however its looking like rain/sleet for the most of us now. Just the way it goes.
Plenty of winter left and having been spoilt on boxing day with lying snow till New Years Eve us in Notts ain't done too bad so far this season
