  1. 4cm accumulated on garden wall now. Arnold, Nottingham. Dew point still -1 according to the app., but don't know how accurate it is!
  2. Been snowing very fine snow here in north Nottingham for past 3 1/2 hrs. Over 3cm accumulated on the garden wall, all surfaces covered. Looks like we might get another hour or so out of this, with a heavier band at the end. Hope it stays as snow. My weather app has been showing 0c temps and dew point -1 for the past hour or so.
  3. Arnold, Nottingham temp 1 degree, dew point -1 - (according to my App)
  4. Heavy snow here for the past couple of hours in north Nottingham, but no chance of settling. The kids have just got home from school soaked to the skin.
  5. Just got back from a pretty uneventful trip to Stourbridge and back. Some snow fell just to the west of Brum city centre (quite impressed by the amount of lying snow they still have there), but it had turned to rain by the time Iwe got to Stourbridge. Saw no precipitation on th eway back until ashby area, but even then it was only sleety. Got back to Nottingham to see we have just started getting a dusting. The interesting thing is it seems to have formed an icy crust on previously clear areas. Looks like is it going to be very marginal for some tonight, I can already sense the let down.
  6. When are we due to see the heaviest snowfall? At the moment I have to go to the West Midlands and back between 5.00 and 8.00pm. Its not looking good for the return trip at the moment as I presume it is going to be pretty heavy up the M42 7.00-8.00pm.
  7. I think the general forecast is for it to die down as the precipitation comes in, we may get the odd flurry but nothing too extensive from it.
  8. I presume that's the lump of precipitation coming over the channel from around the Channel Islands at the moment.
  9. Beautiful blue sky contrasting with the whiteness below this morning. Only problem is the snow is starting to drop off the trees, so I thought I would capture the view from my office window (home worker) before it was gone.
  10. Are we due to get any of this stuff that's coming in off Cardigan Bay?
  11. If you go to "More Reply Options" you should have a button at the bottom of the box which says "Choose Files..." - use that.
  12. Looks like it snowed continually from about 10pm last night until now. Though we are now on the bottom of the radar band. Overall 13cm lying snow in total, with melts and compaction over the past week, we must have had around 20cm overall this week. Was in Ashby yesterday where it snowed continually from 9am throughout the day - couldn't believe it when we got back to Nottingham at about 5pm and it basically hadn't snowed all day. Ah well! Good things come to those who wait - the kids have finally got a snow day from school.
  13. The last intensification has pushed the accumulated up to over 9.5cm meaning 5.5-6cm so far today here on the garden wall - and still it comes. Anyone got a wind direction reading at the moment?
  14. 5 snow angels just made by my daughter. Edit: Ooh that's gone a bit grainy. Can't believe the lamp post outside our house has gone on the blink in the last couple of days. Can't lamp post watch!
  15. Yep! Seems to have picked up again, the radar showed a sudden intensification around 6pm. Garden wall index now at 7.5, so 3.5cm today but still carrying on with the same small flakes.
  16. Looks like only light stuff left on the radar for our area. Only 2-3cm extra accumulation here in Nottingham, south of the river may be more.
  17. Garden-wall-ruler index says 6cm so only an extra 2cm here so far in Arnold on top of previous stuff, but it has been steady for 2-3 hours small flakes. Radar band pivoting north so should continue for some time.
  18. Snow line still holding in a direct line between Nottingham and Manchester
  19. Looking at the radar at the moment and for the past hour it has just completely stopped at Nottingham. Its almost as though the snow line is pivoting around us.
  20. Some rogue streamers may reach Leicestershire, but missing Notts completely. You can tell the streamers are coming in by how much the West Midlands thread has picked up, but this one has ground to a halt.
  21. Looks like any streamers will fizzle out or drop to our south this evening. The garden wall lost 1cm in the thaw, but that's still 4.5cm lying now. Its started to ice up now as well.
  22. You need to blow it back to us then!
