Midlands Regional Weather Discussion

[Serendipity]

We had a decent amount of snow last night then more this morning. Now it has passed through and we have had some rain. The snow is thawing quickly as the warmer temps move in.

Some nice big fat flakes now with the precipitation more like proper snow again

Sadly itll be sleet to follow as it comes in from the west. A wintry mix here for the past 30 mins or so!

Yep, gone back to a light sleety mix again

Just seen Chris Fawkes tweet with Arpege showing. Keeps Birmingham with snow and the rain line doesn’t get to us today. We must be right on the boundary

Yes an interesting tweet from a professional.

Only thing I can think is happening is the level at between ground and 5000 feet holds the zero iso therm line at 0, because at 5000 feet (850hpa level) it reaches 1 in bham by 2pm on the models

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Easing off mild air close to here I think

If we can keep hold of the snow on the ground until 8-9pm then good potential for accumulations overnight. Fawkes confident of 5-10cm in East Midlands airport which is pretty close to my area.

This evening looks interesting

It'll be gutting if it does turn to rain and sleet soon, because that stuff coming out of Wales looks very heavy!

That makes sense. Snow cover may help too

[MKN]

Turning sleety here for certain. Best hope ideally would be for the precip to clear until this evening. What time do the charts show colder air moving back in by?

[NixShep]

very heavy  snow, looks straight coming down like its 'rain' so think its a very wet heavy sleet.  Falling from trees here now too,  dew  -0.1   

 

[sheikhy]

Snowing here again!!

[nobble]

Heavy precipitation can aid evaporative cooling

The stuff in Wales is probably rain already, you can see how sharp it looks on the radar compared to the smudgy looking stuff further north where the snow is. Be interesting to see if it changes to snow as it moves.

It's still snow here in Ratby, around 20 miles North of you. Not a good sign for me though if the sleet line is that close already

[kirksnow88]

Still snowing here although light now. Can’t complain. 
 

[AltonMatthew]

Snow here on the edge of the peak district and the weaver hills. We have 18cm!

Must be close to 10cm on the ground in highest parts of North Derbyshire already  looking at easily 1ft+ if it carries on like this. 

[MattStoke]

Hammering it down and automated forecasts reducing the rain risk.

[sheikhy]

Hammering  with snow here!!!where are you 0 degree isotherm!!

[NixShep]

we have had 3 inches - 8 cm in Hinckley.  Highest for many years.  precipitation has stopped now.  Heres hoping for more.

 

[Sparkiee storm]

Very light here now almost stopped, but even this light they are still flakes.
