[PolarWarsaw]

[I remember Atlantic 252]

just checked the bbc midlands forecast and it's not updated since yesterday....very poor show in these difficult conditions :-/

tuesday = round two for snowfest. before then snow showers on and off maybe more , pepped up again here current level accumalation of 14cm

[mozza81]

midlands today had snow moving in sunday, then monday and heavy on tuesday, and saying cold could stay until week after next.

I think alot of the professional forecasters are having problems with predictions at the moment. Even Sundays event has very loose information surrounding it.

Tuesday is miles away yet in weather terms, dont get excited yet

[Hathers]

Tuesday does look very good. Still snowing here. Just been for a walk, there's so many abandoned cars.

[Matty23]

monday could be another big snow event bigger then todays

[Bishop Brennan]

Is everybody else seeing that eerie glow in the sky that always appears after a decent snowfall? Quite a beautiful site.

Taken from the Monkspath Weather Station webcam:

Same view 24hrs earlier:

Normally you'd see the night skyline lit orange from the streetlights.

If regarding teusday you guys mean the low from the atlantic? to me it looks like slipping south, block to strong for it

[snowangel32]

It has us down for light snow tomoz, possible snow sunday as to fronts from the north and the east meet, and snow mon, and possibly heavy snow on tue, some major ramps coming

[the lad sharp]

And still it comes down.

It basically said. Chance of showers in the east Sunday, with a band of showers moving in from the north to affect the west. Monday showery, Tuesday something more significant and then she said that the cold could stick around for aslong as the next 10-11 days. Seemed all a bit OTT to me as the PPN charts dont really look solid like doing 'anything' at the moment.

[Ian Ballinger]

Quite big flakes coming down now

[Gustywind]

Irritatingly, lots of bits of snow close by but nothing here currently as we're stuck in the gap. Still we did very well this morning in terms of persistent heavy snow so can't complain!

[Staffordshire]

Some more intense ppn around wolvo, probably just miss me though

[conor123]

Fairly heavy snow surprisingly for the past half an hour here, starting to ease again now but nice to see there's still life in this front yet.

[Wadey]

Some more intense ppn around wolvo, probably just miss me though

Moving east or west ?

[cyclonic happiness]

Looks like there's a trough building in the Irish sea, which should move in towards the Midlands later? What do you guys think?

Looks beefy.
