Latest bbc chart shows all snow for midlands even further south. Do we belive it.

Can it snow at 6 degrees, Shows how rapid the temps will drop as the front moves through

 

bbc temps often overdone, that's moe of an April map, with temps 6C but dropping in showers, max of 6C late Jan = rain, so something wrong

dunno what it is but bbc forecasts always have higher temps than the models by 2 or 3 degrees!! Its been happening ever since i can rmremember! ! Thought they would have sorted it out by now! !

Looking at the Map that snowangel32 kindly posted you've got London and Cardiff at 6c and right out there to the East Norwich at 4c and up North Manchester at 4c.

Us in the Midlands don't exist and when they do pan in, Birmingham would be around 3c.

Temperatures will drop in any showers and rise in the sunny periods in between. I was watching a Jan 2010 forecast last night, and even that showed temps of around 4 °C for the Midlands before the snow moved in. So I don't think there's cause to worry about the 6 °C symbols on the map. The big if is who will get precip at all, not whether it'll be cold enough -- for late tomorrow/early Thurs, that is. Different story 24 hours later, but one thing at a time! :)

Aye, and in any case, the actual BBC forecast for Evesham, for example, has a maximum temp all day of just 3c - so the fact it may reach 6c in Cardiff is not a great concern :D

Euro4 06z looks tasty for all the midlands! !stream of snow showers coming through during the night! !

 

NMM is similar. They look quite sparse though. Definitely be a case of some getting a decent shower of snow and others getting nothing I think.

Sadly it's always been the case in these type of setups. Some people will be happy and some people that see nothing will be annoyed/jealous that someone 10-20 miles down the road has snow.

yes it most certainly can snow at 7c but it needs to be at least 3c or below for it to settle.

I would put my bet on Derbyshire looks to be a lot of shower activity so I think we will all get a covering wed nite into Thurs morn. And the new york snow blizzard just shows no forecast is set in stone some very red faces in new York right now lol.

It was more like 10 to 14 inches in most places. Some places have still got over 20 inches.

 

DC only got about an inch though.

I dunno I think it varies quite a lot. This footage looks more than 4 inches. Hard to tell due to drifting.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WV2jJKHVw0&feature=youtu.be

 

 

I would have to love to have seen what the MetO would have predicted.
