Midlands Regional Weather Discussion

[Wingman Blue]

No snow yesterday, too far south, eventually an early evening high of 4.9•C.  Sun-up this morning it had clearly warmed up to zero (cloud moving over)judging by the light frost .

High of 3.7 here today, now dropped back to 3.3•C. Incoming front May just miss us here as wind is nor’-westerly, so perhaps another frosty night.

Have a feeling we could get some snow shortly from the stuff coming over wales atm

For 6 inches

well now, ppn to north west has definatley merged looks good, hope it keeps its intensity as it goes through buxton, also hope its white stuff falling from it,

if so we look to for a direct hit straight down the derwent valley, should be hitting Bakewell now, and I am 6 miles SE  of it

Looks like the main bulk of the front has veered to the south-east, the Cotswolds getting the bulk of it. Expect a clearing night with the occasional ‘wintry shower’.

Heavy snow shower passing here just now.

[Polar Maritime]

Still heavy snow here with a fresh covering.

at last moderate snow falling, I would imagine higher up its worse, I supposed to be driving over to Chestefield in 30 mins, should be fun, up and over 350mts, just has to be done, even if its just for a few groceries, dont need an excuse to go out in the snow.

[marksp]

woah, heavy now, bad driving conditions for those driving home from work.

yeah just tuned to the 50pence type size flakes, you know, those that hit you like a snowball hahaha

[Staffmoorlands]

Heavy hail and snow showers here providing a wintry covering

same here, I swear the snow ball size flakes have joined, together some must be 2 to 2.5inches in size.

[Polar Maritime]

Very heavy thick snow here with whiteout conditions.

Tansley, Matlock currently. My other half is currently down shopping in Matlock town, hope he can get back up here ok

[MattStoke]

That area of precipitation is just a few miles to my north. Wind direction not quite right for here today.

It’s up on the tops of Matlock there really huge

[Polar Maritime]

I'm in Bakewell now and it's eased off. Sticky getting here though as it's all down hill from my location.
