The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 3

Fine light snow in Nottingham.... Giving a icy coating to surfaces now. It seems to be gradually closing in though and def looking good within an hour or so here I think!

[quest4peace]

Still snowing but annoyingly drizzly

[richbiss]

Rain pushing more inland now off the Welsh coast!

[Polar Low]

Past hour snow has been on and off very light as well.when can we expect heaviest snowfall??

The radar is your friend buddy.

Hard to say. Worth noting that it's set to continue for a minimum of 3 hours, more likely closer to six hours according to MetO. Plenty yet to come.

My main concern is the heavier stuff losing its intensity before it gets here. It's not predicted, but thats what seems to always happen.

False start for snow, 2 flakes, then stopped. Exciting news of heavy snow further west, Wind has picked up here. Dewpoint -3.7c Temp +0.3c

[kmanmx]

According to 06z NMM the heavier stuff wont reach us around the west midlands/east midlands border for the next 2 to 4 hours. Not sure how accurate that is though, the 12z is needed. Though I figure radar is a better idea, model outputs just look nicer

Snow ever so slightly heavier In Chesterfield town centre now, but nothing I can call anything but extremely light. I think the peaks are shielding us. To be honest I don't mind (which is unusual for me), I'm doing a fundraiser tomorrow morning and wouldn't want that to be spoiled by heavy snow.

[cyclonic happiness]

Well got home after a harrowing ride home on my new bike shown left <----- and we have steady snow now around half a cm so far, here's a pic!

[Arnie Pie]

Just started to really pick up in Birmingham,

flake size increasing and notiably windier

[A.J]

What do you reckon NW'wards AJ? PPN looks like it could build for a couple of hours yet, reckon we might get a nice depth if things stay on the right side of marginal.

the highlighted bit is critical.......I would like the frontal triple point to stay to our south west (if only by a few miles) then we should stay on the right side of marginal...it really is nip and tuck!.....pop in the North West thread as Liam J posted a nice image a few minutes ago of where the triple point currently lies

[Bottesford]

Rapidly turning into a winter wonderland here just outside Nottingham city centre. Light but steady snow - lovely. And loads to come!

[Polar Low]

Light snow is slap bang on my doorstep now here in Newark, everything is looking good... let the fun and games begin!

[The Wolf]

Why wont it get heavier!

[Harve]

Snow has eased to light again, but has started settling on main roads aswell as everywhere else.

[TonyH]

Quickly settling in Cov, and nice big flakes at the West Brom match!

[Bishop Brennan]
