Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[jimben]

Now have ~1cm at Moulton. Very wet snow that makes that crumpling sound when you walk on it. I think power cuts very likely with this type of snow, bringing down power cables and or tree limbs onto cables. Snowing steadily very small flakes but heavier area of ppn now very close.

[Supercell]

Yeah...not looking brilliant south of Birmingham. It's starting to shape and pivot. The mostly light and scraggy ends of the PPN will die away and it'll hold a while before sinking slowly south.

[swilliam]

Been heavy here in Wootton (NN4) South Northampton for about 20 mins

[Potent Gust]

Stopped here now but I am really pleased with the 2 inches I have! Although my wife wanted 6 or 7!

[mackerel sky]

Continuing to snow moderately here and accumulating fast!

Not as much luck here, right on the NE edge and stopped... only a light dusting.

[Mark Griffin]

Supercell have you seen the radar for us today lol... just incredible, talk about unlucky :huh:

[Bottesford]

Some more snow whilst I sat in the nice warm pub so we've got an ok covering (and inch at best) but nothing like many other parts of the UK. If it's disruptive snow you wanted the east midlands was not the place to be! Try the north west, north east, south west or south east.... :huh:

[cyclonic happiness]

Still moderate snow here, i agree this will pull away soon from brum methinks ( i hope i'm wrong)

Can anybody confirm for me if it is Snowing in Hinckley or Nuneaton ?

[enigma]

But where is the snow for me <_<

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

Wow! Has anyone seen that warm sector develop over the midlands just before the snow arrives <_<

[A.J]

Oh you lucky man I`m staring down at less than an inch!!

Will you behave!....There's just no decorum in the forum tonight! <_< ......They're not taking the bait daaarn sarf tonight are they?.....I'll work on 'em, dont you fret!

[Summer of 95]

Well it's trying to snow lightly again, maybe we'll reach the magic 1cm by midnight.... Reading reports of 11 inches as close as Llangollen makes my stomach turn <_<

I know. 4 inches in Cov and Hinckley (only 10 miles away). We have been unlucky. I'm still hopeful that, should this snow event not deliver, showers will feed in later this week <_<

very heavy now

[stevomatt]

stoppped in wellingborough.......... how annoying is this !!!!!!!!!!!!! will it pivot anymore do u think

[A.J]

I have a horrible feeling that it will stall literally a few miles south of us. I keep running the radar loop over and over and over again, it is going to be a real struggle just to get the edge of this...

If GFS pans out, then we're good for several hours of sustained snow....If not, then agonizingly close, but no cigar!

[weather_it_will]

The really heavy stuff is just 15 miles south of you about 2ft here

OMG :lol:

You are kidding?

About 4 inches here so far, but it didn't start till mid afternoon.

I dont know I,m undecided Nick.. But one thing to note is that the radars have been crap all day and with the sat images they give you a better idea of where the wraparound is heading and it looks on that sat loop as if it will get further north?? Whether it will bring much precip with it I,m not sure but as the rainfall radars have been crap and with all the chopping and changing of the models over the last 24 hours I would,nt rule out a few more surprises yet!!

[snowmadchrisuk]

Yes I think I am clinging on to your Snow , I live 10 mins away from Andy and he is getting nothing , I am getting Mod snow at least.

[chelseagirl]

But where is the snow for me

Too far north!!!!

[andy_leics22]
