The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 6

[Herefordweather]

Definately seeing both of the seperated bands re-joining in what appears quite a heavy area or precip between North Wales, developing towards Birmingham.

[cyclonic happiness]

This isn't pivoting for s***, it's still heading straight South on the radar *bangs head against wall*

you're looking in the wrong place dude!

Keep looking at the stuff off the yorkshire coast and it's direction of travel, it's almost straight southwesterly now!

Nothing happening here in Worcestershire.

Just looked at the Met Office prediction and they say heavy snow for midnight for Bromsgrove - is that right ?

You're right! It is! One last little bit of hope maybe? Well spotted.

I agree, it's the North Sea we need to be watching.

Trust me mate, it's zoomed in on my post code on the Net Weather 5 minute radar and this is still heading straight South over the East Midlands, game over.

[MKN]

Any chance for here or is it to far south now?

[Snowy Easterly]

its to my north my east and my west

[andy_leics22]

I guarantee this slides East past Leicester and Nottingham before it heads South West, if I was a betting man i'd put big money on it.

[Gord]

Weather warnings just updated. We're still in the yellow zone but we're not mentioned in the wording anymore.

[snow freak]

well i dunno either, but we can't complain about the snow in northampton over the past 5 days. two snow events and more than 15 cms in total with it all laying on the ground again.

[TEITS]

Just been studying the radar and in my opinion Northants will hit the bullseye. The main area which is moving SSW lies between Peterborough and Leicester. So if you live in Northants you have many hrs of snow still to come which may even turn heavier.

[kar999]

No sure why so many people are complaining of appalling forecasting. Snow events are hard enough to call as it is, even right up until a few hours away. East/west warm/cold battle zones are even harder to call with 0.5 degress and a few miles making all the difference.

Midlands today at 7pm showed Brum and the SW as the battle ground with some snow on the Shropshire/welsh hills which meant little or no snow for me. Bang on the money so far.

Here you go for those that missed it.... bugger all for me!!

I'm surprised how much we are getting here, meant to be in Peterborough tomorrow not sure now

[Gord]

The precipitation to our north west is actually pivoting around on top of us...if those cold uppers can get in we might salvage something from that.

andy the stuff we have comin down at the minute would have to be non stop for a year to get 1cm oh well mate it looked promising an hour ago

It already is heading south west, albeit not as west as would be preferable, but it definitely is. Northants looks like the sweet spot.

Yeah it's so fine it looks like a mist.

[andy_leics22]

Game over for Leicester, Warwickshire, Coventry, Nottingham and Derby, mark my words.

[JonMillar]

There's life in the old dog yet. Just got heavier here in Notts (not sure how long its going to last though)

[FreezeManiac]

What a pile of poo right in the middle of the two precipitation bands -.-

I wouldn't give up yet Andy. I was originally getting rather frustrated but I feel more confident now. There is still all night for things to turn in our favour, as it just might turn west again. It doesn't look shabby just from looking outside now!

Lots of precip here in Shropshire, but as yet still all rain... looks like a band if rain up to the west of Wolverhampton, then Freezing rain between Wolves abd Brum and then snow Brum eastwards - accoriding to the Netweather radar (v6)
