GFS looks great for tomorrow !

[Harsh Climate]

Looking at the radar, the heaviest concentration of showers down the eastern side of UK is definatley transfering further south.

This was posted in the Model Discussion Thread in case you guys are interested:

Off topic mods sorry, but thought many on here might be interested in watching BBC 2 tonight at 17.30 pm - Winter Watch special all about the Winter of 1963! I for one can't wait

24 hours out from the event now and things are looking promising. MetO has updated to 6-9 hours of heavy snowfall tomorrow for my area.

Enjoy, folks!

[shep]

Met office - Heavy snow for my home town Mansfield - and Nottingham region - only light snow for here is leics - gutted!

[kmanmx]

I would advise to steer clear of Met office Heavy / Light snow symbols. I have really never found them very accurate at all. It's said light snow and there be heavy snow. It's said heavy snow and there be no snow.

On the BBC website it is saying Nottingham will get around 8 hours of heavy snow tomorrow, and then you look on their radar graphic and it shows no precipitation at all?

[TyphoonNow]

well i wonder if tomorrow's snow event will reach up here in Chesterfield? Probably to far west. MetO have warnings but maybe they are covering all the bases?

[cuckoo]

The last time we had 30cm of lying snow in January was 1987 so the next occasion is long overdue.

Surprised at that. I remember being near Buxton in Jan 2010 and there was just over 40cm. In December 2010 there was over 40cm near Chesterfield, so both west and east of the peak district did well, you must have been a bit unlucky on those occasions.

Must be just me that seems to think the NAE 18z has doubled the amounts over the next 48hours for parts of the east mids based on how quiet it is here

[lesta_snow]

GFS showing a definite increase of intensity for tomorrow! pretty excited now!

[shaky]

Leicesters gona get another pounding

[Polar Low]

In the suggested sweet spot once again for tomorrow's low - we're well within a reliable time frame now so I just hope the charts verify!

Will be radar watching from the word go tomorrow morning- hoping to see a further 10cms or so.

[tyson99]

According to bbc weather , kimberley ( ng16 ) in nottingham has 6 hours of heavy snow , yet on news channels on TV hardly shows any snow !

Im new to all this and havnt a clue how to read the latest charts and radars so if anyone can help and share their views on tomorrows snow potential for my local area id appreciate it

[weatherguy]

we looking at the potential for another 5-10cm tomorrow then?

[lesta_snow]

It's definitely looking that way! Earlier we were looking at 2-5 max but now it's practically doubled!

Well i definitely hope so! If this does come off it'd be the most snow I would have ever seen in Leicester!

[rock500]

Seems like the latest NAE chart for 12 noon now has a area of snow in front of the main band.

I think tomorrow could be another interesting day weather wise.
