West Midlands Regional Discussion

[SalopWatcher]

If that happens I'm.done with this crap of a town

Surely living in Telford you thought that a long time ago

[ISAAC]

folks, mark and Ian are being way too cautious. Proven by history we will get snow in such scenarios. significant amounts? maybe not bu who knows.

it's always about now casting. But i do feel for those in the east midlands such as Leicester, notts etc who are in the yellow zone. They things are panning out anything above 2 or 3 cm is a bonus!

Haha

[Wadey]

The whole midlands will see snow tomorrow all the charts suggest this

[klippieboo]

See some precp moving in over Shropshire. In london today much happening at the mo??

[stripe]

v light snow here now,,,,,,, and so it begins.

its the snowmen i feel sorry for, dont get much of a life,

they once found a mass grave of snowmen down the road from me,,,,, but it turned out to be a carrot feild.

[Ian Ballinger]

It's just started to snow very light though

[nats]

Very light snow falling in Stourbridge

[Adzyy]

Snowing lightly in Rugby

[andy_leics22]

Something may be on the cards sooner than everyone first thought!

It's snowing lightly here and also reports of snow in Nottingham. The radar shows PPN that is building around the Midlands area, almost of out no where. Multi Cellular Thunderstorm just posted this in the East Midlands thread:

It's expanding west now towards Nottingham.

Met Office have updated their symbols...

Changed to heavy snow at 18:00

This could be a nice surprise!

[PolarWarsaw]

Tommorrow is going to be a very frustrating day. Last week we were MARGINALLY too far west, tommorrow too far east. I expect a few light flurries based on experience.

All this from 10-15CM 36 hours ago.

We'l never get a sweet spot.

[mujiba]

very light snow in central Birmingham....

[Scoutsy]

It might be today that springs a surprise...

[The Wolf]

Snowing lightly here. That percipitation looks to have come from nowhere to the east of Birmingham and

is expanding.

[Barbmac]

Snowing moderately in west Malvern, temp 1.3^oC.

[phil nw.]

The latest BBC TV forecasts and the UKMO site warnings suggest we will all see snow tomorrow and don`t forget it will still be around Saturday either as a weakening area or showers for some further east.

Click on both days to get the total picture.

Countrywide-much of England,Wales.N.Ireland and parts of S.Scotland look likely to get some.

ISAAC, do you remember 13th Jan 2010? was a similar setup, although I dont think block was as strong, allowing the front to come further East, I got 8cms that day, the synoptic setup looks very similar

[Chunky Flake]

Does it look like game over then for us. I thought the whole of the midlands was meant to get snow?. Some places 20 cms but the rest to get 10cms . What has gone wrong in the last few hours ?.

[Ian Brown]

Im actually laughing at the negativity in here now. YOU ALL WILL HAVE SNOW.

I've been around a long time and seen many of these situations - they ALWAYS trend South in these marginal situations.

Nothing. Relax.

[Polar Low]

Snowfall pretty much nailed on for all south of Central Yorks - even if it will be light and patchy for some areas.

I admire your confidence but the BBC/MetO don't seem to share your view just yet.

[JinxTheCat]

Snowing here too

[Wadey]

How's it looking for south staffs tomorrow ?

JESUS CHRIST. You will do well!!! I cannot believe the atmosphere here. Totally stunned. I expected better out of most of you!
