The Midlands - Weather Chat

Just been out in the car, flooding everywhere and still chucking it down, horrid, awful day! This winter really has been a shocker, never thought I'd see a winter so much like 2013-14 so soon.

Wonder how much snow we'd have on the ground if today's front had moved into embedded deep cold and given us a day of snow and gale force southerlies?

I'm still hanging on to that thought, we still have a month....Lets pray we have a March 2013.

But the thought of ice days now are well and truly out of the window for this winter

Wish we could add them numbers together and make them feet, that would certainly increase our elevation....5/01/2010ft =

A very wet day here with moderate/heavy persistent rain leaving 19.4mm

[Gustywind]

Well assuming 19mm here also (think we've had more myself in my locale) then apparently you can apply a 10:1 snow to rain ratio at 32f, 19mm = 0.75 inches to I make it 7.5 inches of snow or about 20cms? The ratio apparently increases significantly if the temperature is below 32f.

Edit: just been on website for local weather station and we've actually had 34mm here, so that's actually about 12 inches or a foot of snow! If only!

Check Gusty..

Rain is a bit lighter here now, but its still raining, and its up to 33.6mms on my station.

Apparently i hear if it gets cold enough rain turns to snow...The ratio of that happening so far this winter is a big fat

Come on now, i did say a couple of days....Misleading ..unless it's a nowcast all is that

[syed2878]

Well folks I personally don't hold much hope for next 3weeks of winter for anything cold I mean sustain cold and over the last 2-3days the met backed away from the cold drum they were banging for mid feb. Looks like the N.E U.S is about to go in to the freezer again by the end of next week makes me sick to see all that cold heading their way if I could afford it I would get on a plain and go over there. Few Folks were getting excited about some snow by the end of next week but as usial it would be the usial places like Scotland and higher parts of northern england that see any meaningful snow. I'm sure Scotland saw snow even during winter of 88-89. No I give up on this jaffa cakes take of a winter bring on spring I do hope I'm wrong and we from the midlands south get a surprise or 2.

Push it a bit further north and we will all be in the firing line looking at yesterdays run its already gone about 50 miles more north so theres hope but currently only gfs backing this all the other models say no. But a nice upgrade this morning.

Some sharp hail showers blowing through here, Feeling raw in the wind with temp 4.7c 

[WillinGlossop]

Really cold chill to wind today....nipped over to chapel earlier and it was nice and sunny morning but clouded up now.... Doing a christmas roast turkey with trimmings as didnt have any whilst away.... Cider time.... Oh and come on ireland in the rugby! Hope this week brings something wintry again....

[Dancerwithwings]

Temps here now at 5c, with the winds picking up it's making it feel even colder.

The models are showing interesting times ahead for this forthcoming week and into next weekend.

Love the fact that the jet is showing it's self to be further and further south of the UK

Still keeping an eye on that little channel low for Tues Morning wouldn't take much for that to be 50 miles further north

and with DP's on the negative side + 850hpa's at -5 -6's, maybe SNOW....... just keeping the faith that's all guys
