Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[dogs32]

Well Little Rissington bearing in mind it's 210mASL has been recording a temp of 0.4c in the last hour, so that meens Dps must be slightly lower than 2-3c noierw I'd say hovering around the 1c mark, which explains why birdlip probably hand snow earlier.

Give it a few hours for my area and me and dogs32 might see the 5 pence size flakes later.

Filmed earlier

Make the most of the calm nature of the thread. By Thursday/Friday we will be getting through a page every 10 minutes or so.

[Costa Del Fal]

That's the spirit! Why is it so quiet in here? We're gonna get some nice snowfall during Thursday and Friday, and perhaps during tomorrow evening. Not to mention the weekend!

If you're feeling really excited , happy , or just not really fussed <_< about the upcoming snowy spell, we wanna hear (or read in this case) about it!

Indeed-what is everyone doing? Lamp Post Watching? :lol:

Feeling very cold outside now

I'm off to work in 3 hours, according to the met office around 4am we could get some snow. hopefully i will be just finishing my last couple of deliveries.

Nothing worse than driving a HGV in bad conditions.

[Summer of 95]

Temp has been constantly at 3-4C since lunchtime, just horribly grey and murky, can't see us getting anything at this rate unless it gets a LOT colder. Of course with easterlies we often see the precip peter out before getting here anyway.

[katiew]

Temp -1.2. Dew point is -3.4 according to the weather station up the road. Now all we need is some precipitation

Far too early to say with any confidence, hence why people are mostly focussing on events over the next few days. For what it's worth, if the GFS 12z materialised the southern half of the region would be hammered and looking at several inches of snow in parts-- but it's still 120+ hours away and liable to change. A lot.

Well one internet weather site says heavy snow also for northants, but like some people have already said,monday is way off yet.

[MKN]

GFS 18z run has, I think, upgraded on the precip front from the north east. Let's put this into perspective, we're getting very, very cold air which is indicated by the 850hPa temps and dewpoint, with enough moisture being drawn up from the north sea, and with a strengthening flow, we should get some heavy snow showers being blown across the west Midlands.

Just waiting for the rest of the run to come out....

Id tend to disagree in regards to thursdays snow, sinks the band south quicker.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

but what are the current indications for monday tho?..

see 18Z most likely change, will update in next half hour on 18Z,

Evening troopers ...Another day, another dollar, working outside in the freezing cold :lol: ...Today it was Daventry & Badby, and it was jolly freezing|!..Had a short spell of freezing rain/sleet around 5pm....got soaked through for the 2nd day running...Tomorrow its Lutterworth & Leicester again, so no doubt I'll get soaked for a third consecutive day!

To be fair I think there are simply more members on Netweather based in the south-east than any other region. We're outnumbered basically!

But it would be nice if this thread could be a bit more active given the potential that undoubtedly exists as soon as tomorrow.

It's a shame TEITS hasn't joined us yet this year, instead favouring the more popular SE thread.

ok ok just trying to get this thread a bit more active by looking at it and outsider would think wer living in a diffrent planet

definitely agree about TEITS, one of my favourite posters

[jimben]

Temp and dewpoint both showing -0.8c anything later will readily fall as snow. Outlook for the next few days not looking to shabby. Very reminescent of 1981 I think, when the snow just kept coming along with the intensity of the cold.
