You see, for around here, I dont hold much hope for snow in the current projections.

Easterly - ppn rarely makes it this far west

Northerly - ppn gets absorbed by the pennies and peaks

N/W - We seem to be too far east for the ppn

Of course, we see snow, but it takes a good set up for here.

In Hinckley we are right on the edge of this band. We have had some snow but very light looks like icing sugar on the gound. I can see the band of cloud moving past and we are just on the very edge, its so frustrating. Just spoke to my mother in Market Harborough and its snowing heavily and settling fast.

Temp here fluctuating between 0c and 0.6c

good news folks...

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/wm/wm_forecast_warnings.html

Met Office have extended their weather warning to the west midlands for sunday :)

I think it is becoming increasingly likely we will get quite a feed of heavy showers on Sunday. Some could see snow for much of the day. :lol:

Looks like we about to get a top up to the 4cm that fell this morning. Sod's law as I have just cleared the path 100' to my office at the bottom of the garden. Snow gently falling under sunny skies, it doesn't get much better with xmas decorations up and carols playing in the office with warm mince pies.

A few flakes starting to fall here in Banbury now.

The main band of snow is just to the north of here and heading this way. :)

Why issue a warning fro Leicester at 11.45 when the Snow ahs cleared South or are they expecting more ?

East Midlands:

Leicester

Heavy Snow Fri 18 Dec

There is a moderate risk of severe weather affecting parts of eastern and southern England. Snow showers may give local accumulations of 5 cm, with perhaps 10 cm on hills. Some drifting snow is also possible.

Think there referring to the snow showers north east of us, cant see them getting anywhere near us though as they seem to die out before they get anywhere near atm.

Don't worry fellow west midlanders our best chance comes saturdays night onwards, east warwickshire has done quite well out of this i`m just slightly too far west, still had a few heavy snow showers though and on roofs/on grass it is lovely and white still and very cold so no complaints from me with more snow risk to come for the west midlands :)

do you actually know why they tend to fizzle out ? You'd think they would drive inland considering the wind direction
