Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[mildmuck]

The radar is in glitch mode! You can tell when bits suddenly go missing and Precip on the radar looks fuzzy!

Yep , it's back now. :blink:

Just received the radar update.

[beccaboo]

And the big red one up to NG10!!!!!!

Gobsmacking

Just disintegrated as it hit Shropshire. I hate this, torture

[Hailsowen]

The radar says 'no' to me, but however, while it's lightened a tad, it's still coming down.

[andy_leics22]

That precip going into Northants now is making a damn good effort to reach as far North as Leicester. It's still moving Northwards but I hope it doesen't stop and then pivot Westwards before it reaches here!!

[Nick L]

Probably fantasy, but what I would give for that LP to stall out for the next 12 hours...It would swing that SE arm of heavy snow right up through the entire midlands!!!.....but alas, the LP is starting to shunt southwards....BOOOO HIIIIS!!

Ah well, I know have a sufficient enough cover to get me a snow day tomorrow, therefore I shall no longer complain...unless that I find out school is open in the morning of course!

Most snow I have had all winter, grass is completely covered without a blade poking through.

[NorthantsSnow]

Latest radar is pretty immense!

I might faint.

Hi.

It could go either way, but I'm quietly optimistic. Try these radar links - they seem to show the centre of the low moving further north than anticipated, but that could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Kind regards,

Mike.

easy Andy it hasn't even reached Northants properly yet, I'm still nervous.

Your going to get a right pasting

[we_want_snow]

Nice gap opened to miss me

Roll on 25c in July/August

Only joking, still hopeful

Really wishful

[ISAAC]

I just can't believe what I'm seeing! Heavy snowfall with thick flakes! Just like when I was a kid, this is just amazing! If this carried on throughout the night we could be looking at 4" by tomorrow morning! The streets are deserted, barely anyone on the roads when normally they would be fairly populated. Incredible night!

There's alread 4 inches here..... where is this snow coming from..... fantastic stuff!

So what was that moaning about earlier then?

well hopefully it's so cold and dense, it'll take time to change direction and crash into you like the Titanic into dat iceberg innit!

How long do you think before the orange bits get here?

[Albion Snowman]

Just measured 8cm on grass and still it streams down with large flakes. Its ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC to have no marginality with rain/sleet/snow. Just snow and snow only. Currently -0.5C and feels bitter

[StormChaser]

After all this time all ive done is nothing but moan about not getting any snow --- now my area is on an "EXTREEME" alart 40cms is possible !!!

Edited January 5, 2010 by StormChaser

[Michael Winston]

My first post ever to say that we have 10cm deep snow in Edgbaston, it still snowing albeit more lightly now with medium size flakes. Looking at the radar, I think it will fizzle out for a few hours ...before starting again I hope?

Welcome to Netweather, dewie.

I'm over in Selly Park and, to judge by the radar, we'll have a reasonable amount tonight,

Regards,

Mike.

[NE-Leicestershire]

And the lampost watching in Melton Mowbray tells me................. it's stopped

[snow hunter]

light snow just started here, hopefully a sign of things to come

[snowmadchrisuk]

well the weird thing is meto and all other radars have it vanishing aswell. maybe its not a glitch? anyone else under a place where it supposedly vanished got any update on whether its still snowing?

All the radars use the same satalite , they just present it in different ways . Also i'm convinced the 5 min radars are done by guess work .

I think it may be starting to pivot now.. its northerly movement is slowing and its nudging ever so slightly to the west.. just below rugby lol.. typical

[Costa Del Fal]

Still looks like that stuff to the SE will get here and looks like we could get hammered. Road is in a terible state here.

[snowmadchrisuk]

well hopefully it's so cold and dense, it'll take time to change direction and crash into you like the Titanic into dat iceberg innit!

Nicely put ...... Making a Snow angel with Kate Winslet would be nice

[weather_it_will]

Don't even attempt going on the M40 near Banbury.....
