Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[A.J]

I hope the GFS has nailed this, if it has then Sunday is going to be very good

Poop, I'll have to work Sunday, no matter what the driving conditions, because my bank balance said so!

The GFS hasn't been nailing a lot lately apart from its own coffin, however given the precip charts I posted earlier, we look good for another haircut snowfall in Nottingham, even Leicester! Should make it to the West Midlands too.

Snow pepping up again in Nottingham, this is even better than Monday was!

watched bbc weather 6.25, looked like a few snow flurries possible for me tonight, but sunday didnt really look that good, although he did say a covering elsewhere which includes here, so suppose settle for that

Snowing well here. -1.6C. Good covering developing on my estate away from the gritters.

Dont worry about their graphics. So many do which annoys me unfortunately.

E.g this morning they said we would have light snow showers. What was there? Crystal clear blue skies and sunshine.

Nice this for Nottingham, we can banish those snow barriers now

Temperature has risen by 0.8c in 30MINS. Remarkable, the clouds rolling in

I'm just looking at the heavier, bulky ppn to the north as otherwise it'lll be left with scraps

[chelseagirl]

Just looked out and itsd snowing and settling here too!! Wonders will never cease!!!

[A.J]

Well, Tickle my tangerines! Its snowing.....

The area us Midlanders have got to focus on tonight and overnight into Tomorrow is this area that I have circled on the radar.

When the winds veer more to an E/NE direction then those showers around Skeggy area will push inland.

Whhoops, forgot to add it and it wont let me edit it lol

[snow hunter]

well we missed out again tonight, again by a few miles...

[snowmadchrisuk]

Not liking the models tonight at all , but this weekend still looks like it is on the card if GFS is right. After that the Mild won't win next week but by the week after I have a feeling the milder air might make some head way .. Sorry but that's life

[we_want_snow]

I'm getting a little nervy now, like another dusting for the family over the weekend

Thanks. The unexpected snowfall is always best Having said that it was fairly brief, very light now. Still possibilities of further snow in the near future.

Evening Andy And eveyone else!

Do you reckon the chunk off the coast of scarboro is coming our way or will wind directions cause it to follow the path of what we`ve already seen?

We've nicked it!

Still snowing in Nottingham, something must be wrong...

[cyclonic happiness]

moderate snow here now, settling on old tired snow making it look new, that's what i like

[Costa Del Fal]

Lol i note how the BBC Graphics for now show practically nothing compared to what there is. It will be the same matter on Sunday.

Here is how I see Sun/Mon panning out.

At first the extreme SE will see heavy snow as the flow is ENE,ly. However the flow veers E,ly and this will move the heavier snow across Norfolk, Midlands, Wales. Basically the longer fetch across the N Sea enhances the precip. This has been repeatedly shown on the GFS.

To be honest though the snowfall could last 24/36hrs so it doesn't really need to be heavy to bring heavy snowfall.

Thats sounds good to me!!

I hear this snow is coming all the way from Russia...with love

Evening Mark I think that stuff near Scarborough is not going to be coming anywhere near us, the winds will swing round to more of an Easterly later on.

I've got light flurries....
