Latest ECM for the region

[sheikhy]

Ecm has the snow so far west most of the region including the west mids hardly get anything at all lol!!!matt stoke may get lucky though!!still think it will be down to radar watch as ecm and gfs both dont agree at this very short time frame!!

This is probably the best setup for Matt Stoke, unlike sliders which is probably mine, my area is lower so not expecting to do as well as Stoke, unlike Jan 24th this year

[MattStoke]

Aye. Stoke’s elevation is often key in these setups. We’ll see if it’s quite enough this time, assuming the precipitation reaches here! 

[MattStoke]

A Facebook friend has put up a video of snow falling in Clun, Shropshire. Says it’s settling on Knighton Road.

If all the precip from 2200 is on this track then surely some could get 10-12 hours of solid snow !! Especially over 500 feet or so, I think it’s being underestimated. The track shown on the met office forecast has some places under snow for ages!!

reckon that's only going to be hills, Buxton area (sigh) could well have over 30cms snow, where low levels say less than 150m just sleet/wet snow or maybe even mostly rain, mild sector looks to be affecting east of the region too

Massive downgrade widely across the region!!!!

[Eskimo]

Well it's snowing in Whitley Bay on the NE coast so we must be able to get something inland and with elevation.

That, and associated lower dew points AND the precipitation isn't heavy enough.

186m asl

[Gypo]

Nothing to report from Stoke or Crewe yet!

[BarometerCat]

I think its too early to expect anything wintry for most of Mids, later or tomorrow maybe..   True that the fun for most is still watching those lamp posts etc..

[Dancerwithwings]

Hi all you coldies,

It’s still a messy picture atm but how many times we see a snow risk charts like this in November ....nice to hear via you guys that it’s falling in places, okay atm it’s the high ground...but time will tell for us lower level peeps
