Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[A.J]

rain unfortunatley at 1.4C.....the heavier ppn band is thinning out to my NW (where its coming from)...a big rise in temperature...-0.4C to 1.4C in an hour...remarkable!

[Michael Winston]

Stay positive and keep an eye on the Cheshire gap tomorrow. An interesting night (and Sunday!) await us all.

Kind regards,

Mike.

Now moderate snow north notts and a gritter has just gone down the road

[Nick L]

Rain here...unbelievable.

[Bottesford]

Finally the snow begins!

[lesta_snow]

If it'sd in Stoke .. Just down the A50 .. Shoudl be in Leicester within the next 10-15 mins , If it isn't all snow i'll be surprised as our temps are lower than stokes. and our due point's are around -2 . -3 . If ti hit's Narborough first I will let you know mate. Where's Andy Leic tonight ?

I hope so! yeah i've noticed our dew points seem alot lower than others so hopefully were straight into snow, puddles are still ice, still ice on the pavements so the ground temp has to be below freezing so no melting going on ahah I bet hes unaware of this lol.

[Costa Del Fal]

Im expecting rain/freezing rain here to begin with but it should soon turn to snow imo.

Big fat flakes .... about time too

[Nick L]

Right, I am throwing in the towel now. Raining, temperature continuing to rise and there isn't much PPN left. Hope the rest of you enjoy what you get.

[laheymichele]

Rain here...unbelievable.

hi everyone.snowing like the clappers here in stoke-on-trent:drinks:

[Summer of 95]

You are worrying far too much and tbh its getting annoying. We are all likely to see some Snow here. It may start off as rain/sleet but by the sounds of reports this is brief and snow which looks rather heavy will be swiftly moving in. Chin up!

I'll try, OMG I'll try but Shrewsbury has such a terrible history of missing snow. Now I'm really struggling to understand how it can be snowing and settling in Derby but not in Stoke or Cannock (which are both higher than Derby)?????????????????????????????? Oh great can just hear what sounds like rain hitting the windows.

[Snowyowl9]

Sleet turning to wet snow now temps 1.4c wind west maybe W/NW now.

Upper air -3c

WoW!

Looks like a BIG upgrade on the snow!

[chapmanraven]

Ahem ------> http://www.metoffice...t_warnings.html

WOW! yes please

[we_want_snow]

It's bucketing it down in Shrewsbury

With RAIN

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Nick L]

To those using the NW radar, use it with a shovel of salt. I am apparently under moderate precipitation, and nothing is falling out of the sky now.

[ISAAC]

nothign special, light- moderate snow here. the dew point and temperature not col enough for good settlin although it has settled on cars and pavements.

Good news: Temp dropping again 1.8c to 1.3c now. I guess the warm sector has passed?

[Summer of 95]

Yes, it's rain- despite not being above 2C for three days, the ground still being largely frozen, snow sticks at sea level in the SE, it rains in Shrewsbury. Ths is looking increasingly like my last winter here.........

[Michael Winston]

Watch this radar (if the link works!).

Regards,

Mike.

If you look here you can see where the warmer air is. I would say that only the east will get snow in our region unless the colder air starts pushing back westwards.

[JamieUK]

Hi Guys, looking forward to this!

Is the warm air on the leading edge of the band then? Is that all the way across? In the West or what? Sorry if it's a silly question <_<
