Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[we_want_snow]

What are the coldest temps recorded around. I've got a -7c here.

I wonder how far Shefali will forecast this evening? She might be brave and go to 9am tomorrow morning :acute:

Buggar me thats alot to ask!

She said tomorrow night could amount to loads, very little or none at all. Covering all areas there.

What do people think, the netweather site is saying i could have 8mm of rain overnight, with occasional moderate falls. How much snow would this be?

Shefali Oza has also just said that the metoffice are keeping very quite about the precipitation on 23/24 as they dont actually know, like last night proved, whether it'll be snow or how much, she said potentially lots

The temperatures could also be hot, cold or average

[we_want_snow]

We've got to be fair to her, do any of us know if it's gonna snow. No, and we don't until it actually starts

not watching her, I want Simon Keeling, tomorrow night very marginal but bbc did say turning to snow as it moves north, some promise on this forum. But most likely another flop

[we_want_snow]

Are we thinking North West Midlands could do ok is is it going to hte NE again?

There is one positive though Mark - the snow in the south east is going to melt

[Costa Del Fal]

Precipitation could fall on December the 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, January 1st, 2nd...and the list goes on.

For that reason it can now rain tomorrow for all i care.

yeah thats true, but it wont in the N or NW or NE

SW guys have really low temps, mines not dropping and skies still clear -1.3C

We can dream 1 thing that looks to be in our favour in the midlands could be timimg, if its going to be marginal 3am is the best time 4 it.

[PolarWarsaw]

Hmm tonights foreacst may be very interesting indeed.

That picture is wrong for a start!! where's the huge midlands shaped gap in that band??!! :lol:

[we_want_snow]

How can Shefali say -2c for Shrewsbury overnight.

It's already -3c

Oh, great, Shefali makes out its gonna miss Shrewsbury

Again.......

[Nick L]

Very strange forecast. "Snow in the south, turning to rain as it heads north" - despite the fact the map showed lower temps and equal snow in the north!

[MKN]

good old shefali, -2s and -3s here with snow and rain shown. If they are the temps id be certain of snow.

[Costa Del Fal]

Lol she actually did a more decent outlook if rather brief.

[MKN]

you should know by now it only appears about 20miles away from it getting here

could well be a transient snow setup, but most likely snow at 3am then all gone by daylight, looking like its rained :lol:

[Supercell]

Well i'm afaraid that forecast was largely inaccurate. It was a case of chuck in some periods of snow within the rain to cover ourselves.

[MKN]

If shefali is right in terms of temps many of us will do well in this area in terms of seeing snow, whether it settles is another matter altogether, although its predicted to be quite heavy. I guess were all gonna have to wait till around 130pm tomorrow to see if instead of saying theres uncertainty as to whether we will get snow or not, they start saying 1 way or the other with some confidence.

[we_want_snow]

Got to agree, it didn't highlight potential spots, if anything it contradicted what she said moments before

[TEITS]

Disappointingly its looks as though I might be miss tomorrow nights potential as im to far E. Still with max temps unlikely to exceed 2-3C from now until Xmas day it looks as though a white xmas is a certainity in Peterborough.
