[Shezale coventry]

Radar job tomorrow. I think (light) snow will develop ahead of the main PPN band which may not be that organised anyway.

I will be working til 4 so it wont be a radar job it will be a look out of the window job lol

[Wadey]

I think we maybe be surprised tomorrow like last Thursday night !

[Gord]

Yellow warning of snow extended into just the North Midlands for tomorrow.

Streamer off the north sea ahead of the main stuff? Has been known to give you good amounts of snow in the past.

on all animations ive looked at it seems to be part of the main band though

Can't think why then...must be some reason why they think it'll be more intense over you. It does seem strange doesn't it? Will be interesting...also liking the fact that the warning areas are still being re-drawn this close to the event!

That warning has gone straight over the coventry area which has confused me more so why would they forecast heavy snow her tommrrow and not place us in the warning

[Gord]

Indeed, like I said, maybe they haven't quite finalised the warning area yet and are just doing some final tweaks? This has the hallmarks of a surprise for someone...but who?

just shows the nature of these events, i guess it could be a streamer being enchanced by the low moving northwards however it seems to show it coming from a SE direction, maybe they have just shown it incase we get a fair bit of snow they can say they forecast it? maybe if the block proves to be stronger the whole reigon could join in

Yes South Cheshire included too 2-5cm Will do me nicely if it comes off!

[shaky]

That warning is exactly in line with the nae!!

[Gord]

Well tomorrow will tell. This end of the region still not in a brilliant place but I expect a bit of light snow at least.

Just noticed that the cloud is breaking and the skies are starting to clear. Wonder what that will do to temperatures near dawn?

[Adzyy]

So, are we in a good enough spot again? .

Liking this winter

[syed2878]

hi guys. Snow melted quite alot here during the day. What r our chances for sno sunday, monday and tuesday? Thanks.

[The Wolf]

Could be interesting later on I hope.

[i love snow]

Could be interesting later on I hope.

Could be. Warnings not to far away. Also after Friday with the snow moving more east than forecast so you never know. Will be a intresting day radar watching tomorrow

[Wadey]

Can't see much on the radar at the mo ?

[Staffordshire]

all still in france wont be on our radars till sunrise

[PolarWarsaw]

Latest been forecast looked promising here for a time around 4pm tommorrow.

[high ground birmingham]

I really do not expect snow from this event tomorrow. Maybe light flurries. East Midlands far better positioned. We're too far west this time im afraid

[Gord]

Radar not looking promising for us. It seems to be staying very much to the east and there are no showers ahead of it. Good day coming up for eastern counties and the low countries though.

[fizz511]

Met Office forecast site showing Heavy Snow for me for 3pm today!

They may be rubbish at long term forecasting (who isnt?), but they got he timings and intensity of Friday's snow spot on here, so fingers crossed for later.

[snowangel32]

Yep its definately further west at the moment met office got me down for light snow all day think there could be some suprises here

[Serendipity]

We have had a sprinkling over night.
