The Midlands - Weather Chat

[TonyH]

Yes a decent warm sector reached almost 10c here overnight.

[Summer of 95]

Still raining! And even milder than yesterday. Where's this cold air gone now then? Back to Iceland?

[TonyH]

Just to our north and west but not enough for snow!

[Midlands Ice Age]

Morning all.

 

Missed out on the snow then...... 

 

It looks as if the secondary deepened quite rapidly as it crossed Ireland and so moved further North taking some milder air with it.

No chance to get evap cooling as the winds were too strong.

Ah well, better luck next time! Maybe next week? 

 

Was woke up at 5:15 by the wind howling WSW, looked out and the skies were in turmoil with large cumulus scudding across the skies. About 10mms of rain duting the event.

Temperature at 5:15 was 7.6C.  Now sun just appearing and the temperature has dropped to 5.5C

Looks like a hard frost tonight.

 

Nice crisp weekend (sat) ahead.

Yes down to 2C here with a few showers.A few wet snowflakes currently falling after overnight rain cleared.

I don't expect much though as the colder drier air is now moving in so yes a good frost tonight under clearing skies and light winds.Hopefully a nice crisp sunny day tomorrow.

[Midlands Ice Age]

Very light sleety rain here now. Wind is dropping.

The temp has dropped to 4.0C here and as others have reported the wind has swung to the NNW.

No sleet or snow last night but we had a moderate shower of wet snow just after midday. Just enough to put a layer of slush on the car windscreen.

[Polar Maritime]

Waiting in the car for Mrs Maritime as she's getting her makeup done for works do.. A little sleet here in Chesterfield as i speak.

[Mair Snaw]

looks like a thin line of precipitation heading our way later...looking at the bbc news weather it seemed to turn white as it heads our way...maybe a bit of interest for some tonight...

Send some South chaps.....!

The whole country has been lashed by high winds &/or snow, apart from us in the middle. We've had about 5 gusts of wind and a bit of rain here.

Trip through Hope Valley Winnats Via Edale.

[Buxton Codge]

Snow showers in Buxton. Covering above 300m

[conor123]

Seems to be a band of showers moving south so perhaps some wintriness if they reach here?, down to 0.3c here now under clear skies.

There is milder uppers moving down from the north, no way will it be snow at low levels, frosty icy start tomorrow, that's about it

What a useless December this is turning into, bland charts all the way to 384hrs again to.

Don't mind bland charts, GFS and ECM do look better in FI, not for snow but for dry, ECM potentially cold inversion style, but models tend to downgrade high pressure closer to the time, they seem to under do low pressure

[Bishop Brennan]

Beautiful pictures from the very aptly named Derbyshire_snow, thank you for sharing them with us 

 

Currently 1.6°C here with a Dp of -1.8°C

A thin covering of snow here after a couple of light snow showers earlier this evening. There seem to be more showers gathering to the north west on the latest radar.

[Summer of 95]

An hour ago it was clear and frosty, now looked outside and it's raining lightly. WTF??? If Subfreezing air can't turn it to snow, what on earth can?
