West Midlands Regional Discussion

[Bishop Brennan]

I wonder if we can get the Midlands thread as one again if that event for Friday remains on the cards? It will be much more exciting if they are merged again, the whole of the Midlands would be in for a good snow event IF what the GFS 12z is predicting actually happens.

I second that motion! Much better to have one main Midlands thread - I've genuinely missed having the likes of yourself, Supacell etc keeping us company the past few days.

I think it should definitely be merged if we in the West Midlands are likely to get more snow than those in the east. It would be very tedious to have to keep going over there to gloat.

NAE sticking with it for thursday seems strange

Lol!

[Bishop Brennan]

Good grief just look at these minimum temperatures for Saturday night!!!!

Should probably taken with a pinch of salt however, the GFS is notorious for over emphasising extremes.

lol that made me laugh!

I've just sent a quick PM to shuggee asking if he might consider re-introducing a single Midlands thread in future

Hopefully the threads will NOT be merged, for the vast majority of cases the posts in the W Mids thread have been completely irrelevant to those in the East Midlands. I have absolutely no interest in whats happening in Brum as it has zero relevancy to Notts, Lincs etc.

if you want to know what ppn type it is in brum because a front is heading to notts? and for lincs... try the linconshire thread not east mids

Do you have special needs?

My point is that the West Mids content has no relevance to us in the East. It's much better to have a quieter thread with relevant posts, than a busier thread full of replies which are worthless based on our locations.

Side note, please try using grammar if in your responses.

Please tell me that was deliberate?

No need for that type of response. He was only stating his opinion.

lets keep it civilised folks

[snowhope]

Please god let the 18z verify for friday and saturday, we are snow starved here

[Luke]

This might seem stupid but what makes the Met Office seem more confident about snow later on in the week to issue a warning. I thought at this stage it can change lots?

If you have no interest in what's happening in the West Midlands, why are you over here in the West Midlands thread?

[Wadey]

Looks fantastic for us at the moment, and looks like next week will also be freezing

[camperstron]

One of my kids is due to travel from birmingham to Europe on a coach on Friday. Departing at 4:30. If the models could push things back to Saturday I'd be happier!!

They update the warnings daily at around 11.30am.

[welshwizard]

sounds very much that you guys could get a lot of snow fri and possibly sat good luck to you,from what I have read it sounds as if you will have the colder temps so could be all snow for you guys.

[richbiss]

Woke up to a pleasant sprinkling of snow this morning, enough to cover everything inc roads and pavements.

[Bishop Brennan]

Sorry everybody, but the Friday snow event is officially not happening...........I've booked Friday afternoon off in anticipation, which is bound to put the kybosh on things!

If it doesn't happen for us Midlanders, you'll know who to blame

Looking better now I think, bbc shows it as well, but shows rain moving in Sunday night at -2, long way off

Do you mean 2 in the morning or -2 temps? The latter would surely fall as snow I would have thought.

Anyone else in the midlands having moderate snizzle at the moment?

BBC maybe trying not to scare people too much! I think the other models are going for continuous cold away from Cornwall and extreme west Wales. Even Ireland looks as though it's in with a shout.

Nothing here, but it's cloudy and -2.2C
