The Midlands Regional Discussion 21/03/13 09z ------->

I think it's a question of when the front pivots and we get the next lot of PPN feeding in along the frontal boundary.

just listened to BBC regional news sounds fantastic here, another 20cms today before the ppn that went past us sinks south and peps up over night.

as you say pivot.(could be piviting overnight

cheers.

Hasn't settled on roads at all here yet. Pretty dissapointing, as now I have to go to work. Only about 2cm on cars. Looking at the radar we never got heavy stuff over us here, typical!

Big flakes now

Have you been out in it ? It's very wet snow and near horizontal at times.

[Staffordshire]

The first front seems to of cleared quicker than i expected, just wondering do you reckon this will allow the second one the move in quicker?

[Convection currents]

Schools closed! Lost of snow outside!

[klippieboo]

Raining in telford good few inches over night on all surfaces. Radar doesnt look too good!

[Potent Gust]

A covering on the grass here but very slushy on pavements and net settled at all on roads. Fantastic for end of March though

[northampton john]

Heavy Snow just started to fall in Northampton , though it hasnt started to settle yet. It looks like Saturday could be see the largest snowfall of the winter. I would expect to see between 10 and 20 cm of snow in places. This will last all weekend. cant wait......

[conor123]

Had about 2 inches of snow here in Telford, turned to drizzly rain now though and drip drip drip, NAE is amazing for this evening/tonight though, much further south than GFS.

Looks like 9 hours of thawing now though before the next band sets it and drags the colder air back in.

[we_want_snow]

As I expected, a poor night here in Shrewsbury, but of a covering but sodden in most places

It's so windy though! I guess 24 hours of snow will do tomorrow, 48 hours is just greedy!

[shaky]

It is absolutely belting it here in south leicester!!got 3 cms on the car so far!!and a dustinf on the ground!!

[Chess01]

Blizzard conditions in stoke

[Mair Snaw]

WOW just when i thought the snow was easing up a bit... then white out conditions. things really getting bad here at the moment and if the BBC weather page is right then its just going to get worse and worse....

Good morning all

I am heading up to Nottingham this evening with my family, just wondered if anyone could update current conditions and forecast conditions we are staying in the centre and returning very late on sun night/ Monday morning

Thank you all very much

One thing I've noticed this winter is we do better when nobody else really does!

When it's a nation/region wide event we do poorly compared to most. Still, gonna be a lot of window watching at work today!

[daveinSB]

On the bus from Melton Mowbray to Leicester, light/moderate snow throughout.

However Melton has a nice covering, 2-3cm, but nothing in syston, and it seems to be getting more sparse the closer to Leicester I get!

[MKN]

Not a lot happening here expecting a largely dry day with most of what's settled melting before the snow returns later

[stompy]

Not alot here in Nottingham about 2cm of slushy snow on my car this morning, not even a covering on the grass never mind roads paths etc. Hopefully tonight will bring the real stuff!

Well Dazz i think you should leave early if you can, really depends on if the place you are going to is high up as high ground is really bad already.. best thing for you to do is keep an eye on the BBC weather page and if it looks bad please dont attempt to go out in it.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Very like 11th Feb so far, good covering around 3cms of wet snow, still snowing lightly
