Well i have two seperate interviews tomorrow , that will be fun, not !

Im hoping the snow stays where I am and the rain is where they are M4 area

Its a trip I can ill afford to miss, but common sense has to come first...I think I'll assess it first thing, and take it from there.....I have to go from cannock to stourport, from there to Exeter and back, and even though there is always the possibility than the forecast might have been over cooked, I'm not sure I want to take that risk

[wallopweather]

I'm feeling a bit left out here! No rain ... no snow ... nothing! :lol:

You need to move a little West Beka, we had loads last night the village up the road had over 4 inches on top of Mondays and Amesbury, Salisbury, Warminster had it bad. I drove to Amesbury this morning in some of the worst road conditions I've seen in years and the A343 Andover to Salisbury was shut for one large section after a contractor forgot to grit it last night so it's been sheet ice all day

its definately going a fair bit further east than i thought, looks like the heaviest bit could be about bang centre of the country with a bit of luck :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

Hmm ive just zoomed in to the precpitation on the South Coast, it seems to be going a bit more North West Now which is good for us but is what should happen as it rotates around that Low!

Even if it went straight North it would still hit here though but even a slight bit of NW now then we are definately in business!

Yep, heavy rain here. The temp hasn't risen still 2C, but the dewpoint is now zero and the pressure is falling.

Good luck to all further north.

Absolutely chucking it down, here in north bristol; just swept in out of nothing. Darren bett on BBC news weather just now mentioned BTL as the main area for tonite's snow - that is v.different from earlier forecast.

[Potent Gust]

Darren Bett just said that the south west and Bristol could get 15cm! He seemed to suggest the midlands would not get as much as first thought. This was after the news at 10 :o

looking a wintry mix for most in the midlands tomorrow imo. sorry

[Snowman15]

I hope the fact the thick snow is slipping off of the car bonnet and other cars doesnt mean its getting warmer all of a sudden? oh well, tonight is the best snow i have seen in years! so im happy!

[Serendipity]

0.2 here with a DP of -3.5 which bodes well so far !

[Potent Gust]

We will defo get something, perhaps not 15cm though!

[stoke weather watch]

Is it me or is the band heading towards the southeast and london area?

[Snowman15]

Devon, Dorset and Somerset: Heavy snow is likely to lead to temporary accumulations this evening before turning back to rain around midnight. Between 3 to 6 cm is expected in places.

The public are advised to take extra care and refer to the Highways Agency for further advice on traffic disruption on motorways and trunk roads.

From the MetOff

What a joke!

Is it me or is the band heading towards the southeast and london area?

My understanding is that the band currently affecting dorset and wiltshire is the not the area that warrants concern for the midlands area...Its the occlusion heading down from scotland and the 2nd area of precip currently heading in towards the SW....Its what forms in the battlezone of these two meeting systems which will cause the problems tomorrow and the overnight period into friday.......Is this no longer the case?

i promise every1s worrying over nothing , the radar that was posted about 40 min ago or so looked unbelievable and coming straight for the mids , he didnt sugest the mids not getting much , he just said it may be heaviest in the southwest of our region , up to 8 inc, which to be honest only fairs well for us lot up or around brum ,it dosent fizzle out there does it , we will be looking at 6inc i believe, i am very confident after seeing that radar. have the faith and it will set you free!!!!!!!!!!

[katemart]
