where has my 2" of snow gone?? sad.gif I went to bed last night being told by the BBC that we were gonna get loads of snow here tomorrow afternoon through till Monday morning from the SE, but I see nothing but a giant blob out SW and whats with the rain/sleet/snow mix??????? Is this it??? I was so looking forward to at least one proper snowfall before the cold relinquished its grip. Hopefully a reload later but everyone keeps going on about a mild Feb. cc_confused.gif +sigh+ Mega downgrade from GFS too... ho-hum mellow.gif

That system in the west is currently moving away , while in the east there is a streamer being set up , the main area of interest is Sunday night in to Monday. :)

And yes it's melting here to :(

Like Chris said i think that system to the west pulled some slightly milder air in across the south.

i always new it wasn't going to be a significant event.... it was never meant to be. And the GFS, has been spot on... very light precipiation with a few moderate falls later this evening. Could get interesting then but i doubt if any substancial accumulations will occur, especially with current temperatures.

Gutted! Where is all the snow?! Its just grey and gloomy out there and not as cold. The actual picture looking at the latest radar is a total contradiction to current BBC forecasts. I'm hoping this isnt gonna go down as another monumental cock-up. B) *rant over*

3.1 degrees here and rising

snow melting and slush around.

bbc downgarded weather and has temps 0f 3/4 degrees so i think we know it could be the end of the cold spell.

Do you mean Sky Sports 1 and The wash streamer and with temps now Falling , my mood has now changed , this could be the best Snow spell of the Winter for here so far , and Temps are due to fall again later and not start to rise until wednesday so any further snow could stay around and cover up our snow melt. (Which in my location is only miner anyway still about 2-4 inches on the ground .

I guess this is the beginning of the end for the cold spell really. Back to the modern winter folks...

I hope that was a joking comment, I really do.

I'm liking the look of that Wash streamer!

I wasn't expecting snow until later either BUT I also wasn't exepcting such a rapid thaw which will have implications on any snow later as it will be settling on wet ground surely?

Its really pepping up in just the right places. Looking at the meteox radar, there is a good deal of precip moving in from the Netherlands.

It's been trying to thaw here over the last 2 days, even at temps 'really' below 0C. The surfaces that have here are quite dry, it looks.

But I don't think (at least around Halesowen) that it'll climb to 3C. :yahoo:

Well, like every man and his dog in the United Kingdom, I'm having a bit of a thaw too. But (according to the radar) - it looks like whatever will fall today will be snow, and looks promising out to the east! :yahoo:

I did mention yesterday that conditions could be quite marginal for snow...NAE & NMM15z models yesterday both showed rain/sleet the further to the east and south of our region you go...the overnight 03zNMM concurs with this, though the good news for snow lovers is that for those areas currently receiving a wintry mix should see a change over to snow as the afternoon/evening progresses
