Midlands Cold Spell Discussion - Part 15

[ISAAC]

band getting closer but still not sure how it's going to play out here, may just skim us.

Temperature is dangerously high here. 2.7c

[jimben]

It's missing me by about 30 miles so far. Hope it takes on a more southerly movement soon as should get a lovely stream of showers if so.

Looks Like Nottingham and Derby are getting a good dumping.

inching ever closer to NN3 will it won't it ohhh the suspense

[ISAAC]

3.2c now how and why is it rising so fast?????????????

[Nick L]

3.2c now how and why is it rising so fast?????????????

Same here, absolutely sky rocketing now. Rose 0.5c in 15 mins to -0.1c at 11:33am.

[ISAAC]

there has to be some kind of warm sector becouse no way can i have an increase of 3.5c temperature in an hour! LOL?

[we_want_snow]

Getting dangerous now 1.7C and rising

Why???

Teford and Birmingham look in a good position for the next bit but will the temps be too warm. I hope not

[Serendipity]

well fortunately no snow heading this way (No surprise there then) as our temperature has just hit 2 with a dp above 0 also - 0.2.

It actually makes me laugh that whenever precipitation is near, all of a sudden "mild sectors" come into play and in the s/w midlands we end up with rain or slush :unsure:

We are seriously unlucky down this way!

[we_want_snow]

Reports of big temp DROPS in the NW. I think once this band gets past, our temps will drop

Starting to get cloudy from the NNW

[ISAAC]

just fail to understand these cold spells, never cold enough for snow even if we had uppers of -10 surface temps not good enough for settling snow.

[marksp]

still heavy, neighbours have gritted the roads opposite but white over again. Try load some pics, temps now back to 0.9

[i love snow]

dont no but seems what i thought looked promising earlier now seems like it might pass just n/e of here unless it suddenly pushes south abit

[weather eater]

Haha i live at Ladmanlow, come and and have a look up their.......

Do you mean up there? Well you are certainly higher than Buxton is. That's a bleak place up there, so I'll take your word for it. The snow has eased here but I doubt we’ve seen the last of it.

[ISAAC]

now it just decides to stall at our doorstep. what next?

Ian the band seems to be over you? is it falling as snow?

[Costa Del Fal]

A fresh dusting of snow here this morning. :unsure:

[Snowyowl9]

The showers are taking the same track as a couple of weeks ago - thru Manchester, missing here and on into Derbyshire. Like then, the dark clouds are to my NE with clear skies to my SW ! Frustration again for Staffs,Shrops and the West Mids.

There is a couple of troughs this time,2nd trough will push SW later.

Temps higher today with a west wind at 0.8c but still 9inches of snow,and next week looks bitter :unsure:

[kold weather]

Looks like this is the sort of set-up where the further east you are the more chance of snow, this is because the air is coming off the Irish sea and therefore as the streamer comes eastward you get a good indication of the windmass becoming more WNW in nature, therefore I suspect that may have tipped some places past marginal...esp further west.

[jimben]

argghhh slipping past NN3 east northants again to profit

[Potent Gust]

Just goes to show. This Cheshire Gap Streamer was not predicted to be so widespread! Think it will just miss me at the moment. Still hopeful for later.

[XENA]

Heavy snow here large flakes

Temp 0.8c and a dew point of -1c

[Bolton67]

argghhh slipping past NN3 east northants again to profit

Aye, i can see the heavy cloud to my NNE looks very dark over Brixworth, but looking towards the NW clear blue sky.

[PolarWarsaw]

BBC weather showed the showers eventually moving south from the cheshire gap, so dont lose hope yet. Some very white clouds not far to my east.

[ISAAC]

getting very dark here... funny how the band paused and intensified, should be interesting.

Beefing up but its going to MISS me

[Nick L]

Temperature still soaring, 0.5c rise every 15 mins, this is going to be rain if it ever gets here!
