But the convergence zone over the northeast is slipping southwards as the models have suggested, maybe that's pepping up the precipitation?

My thinking is, the more from the north east it comes, the more of the Peak District it has to cross so more chance of it dying away. But I'm not convinced that things have swung enough for that to become a problem.

But looking at the radar again...maybe there will be more for us after all. Will keep an eye! biggrin.png

That shouldn't happen coz the wind is EnE , so whatever is over the North sea, should come you way. It could all change, but it's looking good for surprise falls tonight :-)

OK fair enough...can see where you're coming from. Things are moving quickly enough as well. Lets see what happens then! Things are looking a bit promising.

Possibly looking better for here now, most of the fleeting showers have been passing 20 miles or so north of here on a ENE direction - not to say we haven't had the odd flurry. Now the wind has taken on a bit more of a northerly element we should see more. Snowing now.

Not sure the excitement this evening, just looks like a scattering of light snow showers, mainly over the NE Midlands to me , should give further dustings though. Playing the radar back they are constantly feeding to the same region and fizzling over Warwickshire.

Yup major dissapointment as here as usual from an easterly, even the -13 uppers couldn't deliver, much more potential this weekend/early next week.

Things seem to slowly be heading further inland. Could get a few nice showers out of this.

edit:

And just on cue, a nice moderate snow shower has arrived :)

Do you think the ppn that's running into the more northen parts will start to turn and run down into more of our region has the wind's turn more from the north

because to me it seems that its sinking south!!!

Forecast I have just seen on BBC shows some snow over the Midlands in the early hours tomorrow

and pretty widespread snow showers over much of the country, including the Midlands, tomorrow.

Im glad the south coastal areas are getting some of the white stuff tonight. I can see the stars sorry.gif

The shower supply will be cut off by morning as the flow

comes down more from a NNE direction by sunrise.

To me that lot will start to reach you soon Edited by dancer with wings

Midlands tends to act like a plug hole in these weak PPN scenarios. That being, it all disappears.

Even with the band slipping southwards were still managing to stay in a dry gap here :lol: I knew the snow shield evaporation in January was a blip.

i c where coner is coming from its been a disapointment, though we had some heavy snow showers nothing setteld. So far from a personal point aview this cold sbel been crap. Seems like the s.e. Lot having it quite good and as for the up coming weekend i wouldn't bank on any snow its most likely to be cold rain or at best sleet. Cant waight till this sbel to be over and waight til next winter to go thru the dissapointment again. Dont get me wrong guys we did have quite a good jan, this winter had so much promis but gave little most of that promis got no further than the super computers.

Snowing heavily here in Malvern for the last half an hour - it's settling, currently -3.5oC. Still have a gusty wind which is blowing it around a lot.
