The Midlands - Weather Chat

From looking at the radar that first huge mass has got larger as it has hit the NW.

When you renting your place out????

Hope it's a 20 bed property.... we are all coming    special rates for net weather members

Think it's gonna be a bit too east for my locale, think east mids are going to be ok and Sheffield as per usual.

[Barbmac]

Whoohoo just had a snow shower and have actual lying snow! Temp 1.7^oC, dewpoint -1.0^oC.

[Bishop Brennan]

I'm getting through to 21:45

 

Almost two hours in the future? Now that's one impressive radar lol

Always the way, no matter what the setup never get a direct hit for anything west of Brum these days.

[Fozfoster]

Yep, but it's still stuck on 18:45 

 

Perhaps give Rain-Alarm.com a go? Better than nothing.

Hi Bish. do you think we are going to get something from this polar thingy?

LOL

[MidlandsSean]

My thinking is that the East Midlands might do quite well, I myself am too far west. 

Possibility for precip to hit here, may start as snow but readily becoming rain/sleet I feel. Just a guess mind you!

Not all of the East Midlands have done well today. I have had very little lying snow, the 1-2cm that did lie from a heavy shower around 1pm melted soon after, so we have just a few patches now. Most of the showers have missed here. Areas to the north such as Sheffield and Chesterfield looked to be in the sweet spot with up to a foot being reported over higher parts.

I guess it depends on your perspective.

 

Quite a few posters here would consider 1 - 2cm as doing well... I certainly would

its so rare ......it makes me want to pull my brain out of my ears sometimes living here...!

[kev238]

Yes in Nottingham perhaps a cm in the hillier parts but nothing much in the lower parts. It does seem that showers generally miss the Nottingham area streaming just to the north of just to the south quite often in all seasons. Some might bemoan luck but clearly there are topographical reasons at play

 

Later tonight does appear to offer some chances here if the precipitation maintains its track though a high degree of uncertainty remains

[LeeKay]

Hello all, Had countless snowshowers today on my travels around the mids. At dusk time, the cloud formations were amzaing to the south. Could be on for a few streamers thanks the the ol' Chesire gap tonight, disipating then forming snow showers continuing SSE tho but who knows!

[weather_it_will]

I think we are all waiting to see where that heavy precipitation between N.Ireland and NW Scotland goes.

 

Could be a long night for those staying up late.

LOL

 

Are you two like those kids at school that laugh at everything the cool kids say?

[Supacell]

I would if it had stuck around. Can't complain though as I did do okay from the Boxing Day event. I think we are all overdue a widespread snowfall that is not marginal and provides a white blanket for the whole region. Maybe next week, the cold looks to be in place so it's a start

[snowangel32]

The low looks alot bigger with ppn covering a much larger area i think all the midlands will see snow fergie is warning ne somerset for snow so if thats the case then its still on track

[Chunky Flake]

I reckon it should be hitting us around 12.30/1am if it stays on track
