Snow Watch: Midlands & C Southern England

[Soma]

Wow that Countryfile forecast!!! Looking at snow later this afternoon then the "big one" - snow for the Midlands from around 3pm Monday to 3am Tuesday with very strong winds

:lol:

[lesta_snow]

yay leicester looks like it has a chance of getting some tomorrow night does anyone know how much approx?

[Nick L]

Ah here we go now. The precipitation obviously popped down to the shops or something as it is now starting to reform, regroup and reintensify. Hopefully cloud cover should start to spill in very soon.

Countryfile looked interesting for tomorrow night. Little too close for comfort for my location, but I am sure I will get something. The South Midlands could see some exceptionally heavy snowfall and blizzards.

An early warning has been issued by the Met Office, predicting between 5-10cm and upto 20cm on the hills. I think it could even be more than that in some spots. The warning spreads as far north as Derbyshire.

WOW! just seen the counrtyfile forecast!!!!

This could be the BIG one!!!

If this has been the coldest spell since 1991, then lets hope that this is going to be the biggest snowfall since the 9th december 1990?? :lol:

Well, this is finally enough to force me to purchase the NW radar for the coming month, I feel it could be very useful indeed!

Some parts of the south Midlands will easily get a foot of snow on Tuesday.

[kold weather]

No doubts this could be a big one further north in the midlands, very windy with heavy snow does raise the prospect of blizzards though we will have to see.

[Costa Del Fal]

Go us! I am simply going to get pasted definately if things go according to plan! Midlands ground to a halt onMonday Evening and Tuesday anyone?

[Eugene]

Wow what a forecast , turnedoutniceagain is going to get hammered, i wonder if he's concerned or not, wouldn't like to be that high up that's for sure.

No way unfortunately, the Meto are playing it safe and the band of snow could be just 50 miles wide - if that, because it's looking very marginal especially in the E Midlands. Whoever does get hit will get enormous amounts, but it won't cover a particularly large area.

Also the track of the front is yet to be decided and the ECM puts the front right into County Durham, meaning rain for the Midlands.

You could get a right dumping. If current forecasts are anything to go by, your lower limit could be 6 inches of the stuff, and with very strong winds there could be drifting. But it is a long time yet and it could all change.

Looks like Birmingham is in the firing line for Monday Night!!!

Am i correct?

At the moment tiny changes in detail could make all the difference. And we have all seen that things haven't gone the way they should have in some instances this week!

is coventry gunna get any snow for 2mrra?

[ISAAC]

yes your in the firing line if it goes as north as expected. Things could change though.

Back to todays snow, well the band is without a doubt intensifying by the minute BUT looks a tad on the warm side to me for snow to settle or possibly might be rain or sleet initially.

When the sun goes behind the cloud the temp should drop notably. Starting to get some cloud cover now, and the PPN will arrive when the sun is setting, so it will be mostly snow.
