Moderate snow in Nottingham... 5p sized flakes. Update: Its absolutely chucking it down now... heaviest snowfall I've seen in a long time for Nottingham (Lenton). I don't think its gong to settle very well though...

Looks like Nottingham has somehow managed to miss out bar a light dusting. Literally every heavy front has managed to skirt around the city.

Anyone have a wind-direction map for tonight?

Snow has stopped in Nottingham... think we are out of the game.

Moderate snow in Nottingham now.

Snow dust in Notts... nothing more.

Looks to me like the system is going to swing around and attack slightly further north from the direction of the east. Derby, Notts, Sheffield.

I disagree about it being bad news for Nottingham. Looking at the wind directions and the met forecasts, the heavy band will hit us... just later this evening.

Looks like that heavy stuff building up off the coast of Norwich could be heading for a direct hit with Nottingham

On the BBC website it is saying Nottingham will get around 8 hours of heavy snow tomorrow, and then you look on their radar graphic and it shows no precipitation at all?

Drizzle here in Nottingham...

Moderate snow in Nottingham. Lenton.

Whats bugging me is that the radar has shown Nottingham under precipitation for the last 3 hours now and barely anything if at all has fallen.

Would it be correct to assume that the large mass over N Ireland will swing over the E Midlands?

This is so frustrating... Nottingham seems to be just on the edge of the activity. The little snow we did have has near enough come to a drizzle now...

Nottingham has been very light for the last hour.... Radar says we are just on the edge of where the heavy stuff id

Things are picking up in Nottingham, getting darker and snowfall has increased. Would say its verging on moderate now.

Spitting snow has turned into consistent but light snowfall in Lenton, Nottingham. Lets hope it lasts...

Vary, very light snow... Verging on spitting in Notts (Lenton)

Freezing fog over here in Nottingham at the moment... looks like glitter falling from the sky.

BBC are talking of 6 inches worth falling in the Midlands over fri/sat.

Not a flake in Nottingham yet...

Care to explain the significance for a noob such as myself?

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me out. On the 24th of August here in Buckhurst Hill, Essex we had a HUGE downpour at around 11:40pm. This rain caused some damage to my property which I am now trying to get the insurance company to sort out. They are arguing that they will only pay out if Met Office data shows that over 25 mm fell. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a site with historical data for the 24th August so that I can check the stats. Locally I am sure we had 25mm easy, as our street turned into a river temporarily and this only happens once or twice a year in extreme weather.

Is anyone able to give me a rough idea of what we are looking at on Saturday in Nottingham. We are hosting a large event which will be partly outside and want to know if we should start making plans to more everything indoors now, or whether we might just have to put up with a few showers.
