Stopped here now aside the odd flake, but main event appears to be tonight
-
Snowing here in Nottingham but roads fine, grass & pavements though have a covering. North Notts again getting the worst. However the main event for us appears to be tonight so don't be too disappointed with what we have currently. At the moment a good chance of heavy snow for Nottingham tonight
-
Depends on what happens with front, gfs very stubborn in its predictions. Normally I side with n a e so will this time. However the gfs was correct a week or two ago with the channel storm clipping the south east moreso than other models. I am sure notts will do ok
Agreed these things never quite pan out as forecast, lets hope that when its finally over us, it pushes further East for us in Notts.
Fortunately Im south of Nottingham right on the border with Derbys/Leics so I think we will get a decent covering at least
-
I think by the time the precipitation heads south across the East Midlands on Saturday it'll be much lighter anyway.
Lets hope not for us in the East, its at times like this that the Midlands thread needs splitting into east & west as its depressing listening to you lot talking up snow amounts LOL
-
Need a shift further northeast for Nottingham to really get hit, so close to the sweetspot but but not close enough at the moment, nothing worse than to hear Birmingham 40 miles to the west is getting blasted while us in the East are struggling to get a flake
-
Notts & Nottingham finally have a yellow warning, this morning we didn't even have that, like I say a covering will do me although there is always that doubt that it could go wrong, stays as rain or doesn't make its as far north east
-
I'm not so sure about East Mids being "worst hit", looks like areas around the Pennines will be worst hit, northern areas in general.
That said, still the potential for Nottingham areas to see up to 20CM if precipitation charts are to be believed. Midlands generally could be fairly badly hit.
06z GFS impressive with regards to precipitation totals. A bit worried about it's placement of snow, it has many of us (Brum, leics, derby, notts) down for rain with snow up further north.
In fairness the guy on Radio Notttingham from the Met said he expected warnings to be issued for my area today. The comment about the East Midlands came from the bloke on the BBC so he probably meant areas of the peak district in derbyshire rather than Notts/Leics.
If we get a covering I will be more that happy when we're this close to April
-
Is Nottingham still in the firing line because some views on here appearing to be contradicting what I heard on both the Radio & TV this morning that said its game on for the Nottingham & the East Midlands being one of the worst areas to be hit ?
-
Unsure whether I should still make my planned journey up to County Durham tomorrow afternoon, or stop here for the weekend. Nottingham might be slightly marginal and slightly too far east, but Durham might be too far north and east but not marginal.
It could be a fun drive on higher parts of the M1/A1 though!
Whats going on with Nottingham, listened to the weather on both Radio & the TV this morning and they said Nottingham could get a dumping & the East Midlands in general the best place to be but come on here & everyone talking further west
-
Nottingham isn't looking too bad for Fridays event
-
But exciting to get proper snow in March, regardless!
Exactly stopped now & temporary covering melting rapidly but that was actually the heaviest snow Ive seen falling all winter
-
Every chance now Nottingham could have a covering if this keeps up, its that heavy now struggling to see the building across the road. So sad that if we do get a covering but then the sun comes out with it being March it would soon be gone
-
Unbelievable here in Nottingham, Really heavy snow falling now, massive flakes
-
Yeap heavy snow now falling in Nottingham, grass starting to whiten over
-
About half an hour ago we had a really heavy snow shower here in Nottingham, proper big flakes which surprised me given the forecast this morning said any showers would be sleet at most.
Sun is out again although clouding up again to our North & East so maybe another heavy snow shower is on its way
-
woke up to a light covering, had some beefy showers coming through this morning but then bright sunshine
-
yellow warnings out for east mids........................why am I the only person on here!!!!
In fairness I think a lot of people like myself are now in spring mode and lets be honest the most we will probably get is wet snow that won't settle due to the proceeding rain, I certainly think that is the best we can hope for at lower levels at least. Obviously hope to be proved wrong
-
snow grains falling in Nottingham most of the morning although nothing of note whatsoever. However potential for a surprise or two for us in the East overnight. Nothing substantial but a covering for some I think
-
Not the greatest of winters over here in Nottingham, had snow but certainly no dramatic amounts, events like sunday and the Friday a couple of weeks ago just didn't come off.
However given that prior to 2010 we went several winters in a row with no lying snow whatsoever cant really complain
-
Well yesterdays snow was far better for us in Nottingham than the non event that was sunday. Sods law it was just so short lived.
Looking forward though to a few days of dry & less cold weather
-
settling everywhere now, any ideas how long Nottingham has left as snow before the change to rain
-
Beginning to settle now on the grass etc in Nottingham, pavements/roads currently fine though
-
Heavier now in Nottingham but not big flakes
-
Let hope for something heavier for us in Nottingham later in the day as this light snow we are currently experiencing isn't settling

Oh great, we have drizzle now in Nottingham, hope this isn't going to be a huge anti-climax for us. Still looking good for later though so fingers crossed
