Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[azores92]

No one can say what is going to happen regarding the rest of Winter, no matter how much they think they know. I think it's highly unlikely that if a milder breakdown is the next stage for mid-late next week, that we would be able to get such a prolonged cold spell as we have experienced over these last few weeks. But that's not to say we won't get some "cold snaps", shorter periods of cold and perhaps very snowy weather. Usually I expect February to provide me with some good snowfall, but given how the last month has panned out, February could play out just as differently as January and December have when comparing to years gone by.

Let's just take one step at a time, so by that I mean focusing on Sunday and Monday for the potential of decent snowfall. I would love much more snowfall to affect here, but if does not then I won't be that disappointed as I said before, these last few days have been awesome!

i think making predictions on snowfall during sunday and monday is going to be a little tricky at the moment. best see what it looks like by tomorrow morning, but it could be a few cms, could be very little. saying it will be nowhere near as good as tuesdays event is a little premature at the moment. you're probably right, but we all know how rubbish it was looking until monday night.

A lot of people are saying that *when* the breakdown comes (be it next week or the week after) that's pretty much it for this winter... there's a whole stream of SWerlies coming in

Ignore them people, GFS 12Z is showing another two cold weeks with no end in sight and if it comes off sw'lys taking over is a long long way away, sw'ly dominated Februaries are rare.

Nah, you'll see loads more on the Jam Cams, more light

It looks like the heavier showers will probably be pushing into the Derby area to the west of Notts/Leicester and filter through towards Birmingham weakening all the while
