East Midlands Regional Discussion 18th January 2013, 12z onwards

[MKN]

Things pepping up again. Possibly another 1-2 CMS before the days done. that would mean somewer between 15-20cms of snow where its not been disturbed.

[chillyblast]

Still going Nr St Neots, just been out with the dog and its no less than earlier in the day! Hope it keeps going, really enjoying this as usually this area gets either scraps or completely missed. BBC weather says it will go on until 3am.

[andy_leics22]

Are we looking at any more snow after this event? or is it looking dry?

Not sure yet, there's so many low pressure systems skirting around the UK over the next 5 days that anything could happen.

[weatherguy]

Can't believe it's still going!

[Racing Green]

Nottingham being almost completely missed so far today!

[Coventry Lee]

We've had some really quite unbelievable luck today. It looks heavier than it did the last time I looked, a little while ago now.

[chillyblast]

Its hardly moving on the radar though, it could hang around all night I think (if we are lucky!)

Edit: Checkout the traffic cameras for some of the major motorways in the firing line, its settled / settling in some parts (M1):

Still snowing but very very light.

[Polar Low]

Things really beginning to take shape here now, can see some areas of the extreme E Mids and Lincs/Yorks being quite badly affected over the next few hours.

[beccaboo]

stopped as quick as it started here

Look at the precipitation driving westwards when it gets as far north as the wash!!!

[Frostyhaze]

I don't know what others of you think, but the wind direction is pushing in an west west south kind of direction.

I wonder how much influence it's having over the system thats been hanging over us all day. It was meant to be well on its way to Scotland by now

Not that I'm complaining :-)

Well still snowing in Grantham starting to get a decent covering now. Hope it carries on looks good on the radar, fingers crossed.

[Lee Jones]

It's been a real non event here. Real fine/west stuff no settle. Tomorrow going to be a nightmare with ice. Are snow shields a myth or real? Because it's just fizzling out when it's hitting Nottingham.

Ok I have just had a walk around the village, a kwik pint in the igloo under candle light, still snowing snizzling, however the tempature is still above freezing at 0.3, it needs to freeze! The roads are slushy but quite passable, however if it froze it would be interesting!

Cheers!

[Supacell]

Still just the odd flurry here, utterly disappointed with todays effort.

[helen47]

wow look at the radar

[Polar Low]

Superb echoes now, heaviest snowfall of this cold period currently underway.

[hilldweller]

Coming down nicely in Buxton, radar looks interesting !!

[SL7]

What are the radars showing?
