I think most of the stuff will hit Derby/Nottingham (as Andy says) and the northern half of Staffordshire, most of it will miss me :cray:

IMO it will head straight for you after it goes through Notts/Derby, it's got a slight W/SW movement on it but not enough for Leicester to get it.

I think you might be right, after putting the pressure chart and wind vector overlays on the radar, I COULD get lucky. But it will inevitably weaken as it heads inland.

it is really starting to pep up now out in the North Sea and this will help a lot.

But it's all breaking up and turning to rain as it moves further inland.

Maybe a few flakes here and there, but nothing to get excited about.

I'll garauntee that this will be a total non-event for Leicester, Warwickshire, Northants area.

The main heavy precip is heading towards Notts/Derby area and that other batch of precip following on behind it will do the same. All Leicester, Warwickshire and Northants will get is scraps like small bits of sleet or rain :cray:

Dunno about Brum and West Midlands, PPN will probably pep up over you later on this afternoon but over here I think it's a case of.. Goodbye snow.

After looking at it closely for a third time, it definitely has a direct east-to-west movement, very little southerly movement.

Snowing lightly in Sedgley and dosent look that (wet) - sticking to cars etc. If its starts raining by me then most parts are in trouble lol (except the major hilly areas of course!).

I hope I havent got my hopes up for nothing again unknw.gif - however some of the best snowfalls do seem to come from nowhere.........

right best check those radars lol

N-W radar shows something over you so thats a false statement :(

You are lucky because the snow here is thawing quickly to be honest. Road is now turning to slush and it was pure snow yesterday. Temp has hit 1c and it's not even the afternoon yet. Will probably hit 2c max which will melt a fair bit of stuff.

need some heads to be nowcasting and window watching from my east. newark anyone? That blob on the radar looks great but as it keeps progressiving west, the front edge just breaks up and evaporates at Notts city limits laugh.gifrolleyes.gif Its quite bright out here too, even though its cloudy, before like an hour ago, the sky was really dark and gray, so i have no idea whats going on..dry.gif

It probably shows anaprop. Its there constantly over our area and extremely annoying.

Heavy sleet continues to fall here... can't see the PPN stopping at all, throughout the day to be honest... which makes me gutted that it's so marginal.

Still snowing, it's 0.8 degrees out in my garden. We've had a great week or so weatherwise - lying snow, low temperatures etc.. Anything that happens after this is a brucie bonus... but a tiny part of me is still wishing for a foot of snow, blizzards and for the cold spell to continue!!

I blame the media, as soon as the news started running features on 'the big freeze' the writing was on the wall :p

    Dubai Floods: Another Warning Sign for Desert Regions?

    The flooding in the Middle East desert city of Dubai earlier in the week followed record-breaking rainfall.

    Week Ahead: Cool but largely dry until later in the week, when low pressure returns

    We keep a chilly northerly flow going through much of the coming week, especially noticeable in the east. Cloud and rain spreading south Monday, but after that, most places largely dry until later in the week, when it looks to turn more showery. Read the full update here
