The Midlands - Weather Chat

[Staffordshire]

Must of had a dusting sometime between 3:30 and 6 as when I woke at 3:30, nothing, 6 a dusting.

[Serendipity]

Our snow shield was broken! Just the tiniest sprinkling of snow, but it is the first in sooooo long.

Your assumption is probably right in that case lol

[klippieboo]

The showers keep building in wales however once again the bulk of them south of here

[Gustywind]

Yes possibly some more for Solihull/Warwickshire in the next hour or two, a small clump of showers have emerged from Wales looking fairly strong still, anything that does fall is unlikely to settle now though.

Maybe south Warwickshire and here in north Oxfordshire where we have had some light snow. First since 2013. You can still see the grass but will take whats on offer.

[Gustywind]

Yes I agree it looks like they are going to dip south of me again, grrrrrr! Worcester/Malvern probably best placed, think they'll die by the time they get to north Oxfordshire.

[picog]

Been out with dog hoping to get caught in some of those showers from Wales. Well, we did get caught, but we also got wet as they are a mix of snow, sleet and a bit of rain.

[PolarWarsaw]

Think we had a tiny sprinkle overnight, nothing of real interest though!

[syed2878]

not a flake here though the met had me down for lite snow from 7am

[conor123]

Wow what a disappointment, was expecting a line of heavy snow showers to move across and got about 3 flakes.

Not hopeful of anything else now, westerlies = rain shadow effect.

[Essan]

Those showers forming over the Welsh hills are unlikely to make it through to the Midlands - they all get zapped by Offa's Dyke

[The Wolf]

Utter load of rubbish here. Nothing whatsoever.

I can just see next week being rubbish as well.

[shaky]

This mornings fax has a trough crossing us around midnight so could enhance shower activity! ! Infact there are troughs everywhere!

[Summer of 95]

Clear all night and morning here, not a drop or flake of anything. Frosty first thing though

[Weather of Mass Disruption]

Not a flake to be seen here, thought that would be the case. A touch of frost and that has been it. Still it is disappointing but thats the British weather for you

We had that forecast last night and ended up with nothing!

It will probably end up south of us or too far north knowing our luck!

[Dancerwithwings]

Just woke up. Had a quick look at what's going on.

Whoops. Not happening is it?

Never mind. Back to sleep then!

Same here    Woke up at six Back to sleep

 

Anyway it would of been only a dusting.......Only

 

Hopefully...... fingers crossed, legs crossed, toes crossed the MEGA potential is this coming Tuesday

 

 

Keep the Faith...... IT WILL COME

 

EDIT;

 

Serendipity..... NICE to hear that your bubble has burst

 

MIA ..."20 flakes on my consevatory roof (Counted them all) Does it count as a snowfall?" I hate to burst your bubble.... Just pigeon onions.... LOL!

With the way the models are coping at the moment, this is totally FI.

 

But looks like there is still potential for something decent to happen next week. This is snow accumulation by Thursday.. obviously not remotely accurate but interesting anyway.

Shropshire sized snowless gap in there so i'd bank on it being quite accurate 

 

Gloriously sunny today, not feeling as chilly as expected at 5.4c

NMM's Showing this one for the radar!

Absolutely Fizz One thing in not speaking about the S word is just how cold it's going to be this coming week 

IF the snow does come Tues/Weds it will be around for a number of days

 

06z GFS showing daytime temps Monday to Friday, It's just a general idea on how cold this week maybe and with SNOW SNOW SNOW.... It could be a week to remember :cold:
