West Midlands Regional Discussion

[Shezale coventry]

looks like Monday another system tries to move into our region but crashes into the cold air! and seems like another one to look out for still FI but one to watch!

Anyone still saying this winter is boring?

[Clazzer]

I know it's early day's, but by the snow risk charts on here it's looking very promising for a substantial snow event Friday/Saturday.

Fingers crossed

[Ian Ballinger]

Still time for it to go tits up

"The precip is roughly 150miles further west on the 12z NAE compared to the same time on 06z by +33"

Taken from the model thread, is that bad for us?

[conor123]

12z NAE out for Friday showing front a little further west than this morning, heaviest falls across South West of the region on this run

so great thing for Hereford/Worcs, would mean the snow stalled right over us when it fragmented rather than Central/East parts like the 06z

but I expect further south westward corrections yet.

About 30 minutes till we know GFS 12z prospects for Friday now, nerves = major.

That still looks good for Telford though Conor?

[conor123]

Accumulation chart for midday Friday has 8cm of snow over us (10cm for South Mids) so certainly still looking good, don't want the angle veering anymore like yesterday's 18z though or were end up with flurries whilst Hereford/Pershore get a pasting.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

I live next to my work so would usually have little problems directly from the snow. However naturally I'm at a function in Stafford and staying overnight, due to drive back Friday midday. I'm very close to cancelling my hotel in Stafford and staying at home Thursday!

You in Stafford then! helps if your location is in profile?

[Drew]

Temp currently -3.4C

[Adzyy]

Not getting excited yet, the forecast changing on Monday was awful.

[syed2878]

[Adzyy]

Everything a little further west on this run. Still a very good prospect.

Let's wait until tomorrow before getting carried away.

[conor123]

Snow much lighter on the 12z

[Shezale coventry]

Snow much lighter on the 12z

I wouldnt worry about one run stick to what bbc and the met office are showing not every single run will be a snowfest for us it will swing west then east on every model run by tommrrow morning the picture will be clear still all good in my opinion

[Ian Ballinger]

Could be a day of radar watching and crying

Classic Telford snow shield gap Friday night on the 12z, heavy snow blasting up into the South East, heavy snow over Wales and snizzle here :lol:

[Shezale coventry]

Still all good on the NAE some dark ppn over us

[Adzyy]

Not the time to be calling death on it yet by all means. I'd wait till tomorrow afternoon to decide whether to cry tears of happiness or sadness.

connor, we'd still get a fair covering judging by this run so why panic? things will chop and change as we all know

[Shezale coventry]

From the met office ALL of the midlands is coverd in yhe warning for 10-15 cms of snow! Dont know why some are being negative.

[Wadey]

I would be over the moon with 10-15 cm before the weekend with the possibility of more Sunday night and Monday !!

[Staffordshire]

I will be very busy tonight so just a quick note, seriously guys, looking good! why would met put an amber warning out now if they wernt reasonably confident? Probably jinxed it now....
