The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 4

[I remember Atlantic 252]

clearing sky, hopefully keep my snow remains, first time sky cleared since the snow, but maybe not clear long

[Arctic Hare]

Fairly grotty weather here. Still (just about) full snow cover in the back garden, but the thaw has been quite heavy all day. It's now reached that tipping point where I'd rather it melted entirely than stick around with treacherous patches of half-frozen slush.

Worth noting, perhaps, that the GFS is wildly wrong even at a few hours' notice as regards 2m temps. There's excellent agreement on the 06z that this afternoon's max would be somewhere around 3 °C (see pic). In fact, it's been above that for the whole of daylight hours, and the max has been 6.7 °C.

Thick fog has set in here, thoroughly miserable day, really. Temp reached a max of 4.0^oC.

Yes, fog has moved in here as well, cold & damp...yuk!

[Ian Ballinger]

I love thick fog and yay we have some

[I remember Atlantic 252]

very foggy again here after clearing, 1.7C so that awful damp fog, hope temp drops a lot more

[Supercell]

A real shame the fog is not of the freezing variety. It complements the snow wonderfully. Objects can become coated in rime ice and look spectacular. Unfortunately temps have been hovering in the vicinity of 1-3.5C and it's been a slow, slushy thaw. Not so picturesque.

Really enjoyed the snow event though. 5 inches is a very good fall and rare for here

[The Wolf]

Freezing fog here. Everywhere outside frozen solid!

[Arctic Hare]

Interesting BBC1 weather tonight. -8 °C to -12 °C shown as possible across the Midlands as soon as tomorrow night, and a hint that Wed night could be even colder! Maybe only where there's still snow cover, though.

[Costa Del Fal]

Very dense freezing fog overnight here and seems to have left a slight hoar frost.

[marksp]

still have 90% snow cover (if discount the main roads), tracks on ost side roads, and all fields are white over to depths of 3 to 4 inches.

[Barbmac]

Dense fog here this morning, hardly surprising since we've had it since late yesterday. Overnight not as cold as some of you, just dipping below freezing at -0.5^oC. No sign of any frost, just unremitting damp.

[richbiss]

-6c here on drive to work, freezing fog, trees look amazing! A lot of snow still lying.

Anybody got any info on this weekends weather? Heard a rumour of more snow??

[I remember Atlantic 252]

hoar frost today, -5.3C minimum, could just be the odd snow grain today maybe, like last tues

[A.J]

already had a few snow grains out of the fog this morning...it's very cold, with mist lifting...and looks to be extremely cold tonight!

Well I hope GFS is right here, meto/bbc have it turning milder with rain on friday, GFS keeps us completely dry

[The Wolf]

Hoar frost here.

Some of the weather apps on my phone (yes, I have a collection - sad, but true), are showing snow for Friday.
