Yh mate and even this system is moving much slower than expected the back edge is still in Manchester. And streamers are already showing themselves for later.

I'm surprised the streamers seem to be setting up so early  if we can catch the bullseye with some of these  a few could have a surprise

[The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

Not amounting to much but at least it's snowing still. Conditions should be perfect later if showers form

Snow

Rain has got quite a bit heavier here just now.

It's got that look about it...that it wants to turn. Do you know what I mean? Does anyone else see it when we have marginal or rain to snow events? Or am I talking nonsense?

lol I'll tell you in a bit on way from wolves to Dudley

Bulk of the heaviest stuff is a bit too far south as i thought.  

 

 

I'm glad in a way would have been a washout really. After dark hopefully is were the excitement lies

18z euro 4 looks good still for 10-15cm for peak district over next 36hrs.....

Just seen it a good run for the more mid to north midlands. Looks like a streamer from early Friday then a band of heavy precipitation after. Interesting

Just one thing to mention before i go and retire, out of the 20 en's GEFS members, 14 of them have the snow pretty much across the Midlands for pm tomorrow.

As the BBC weather said "this rain to snow event even at this stage is being very elusive".....Just food for thought....if the professionals are have problems,,,,,WHO KNOWS 

Yes still up in the air  might wait for the euro 4 

[The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

We will all be glued to the skies tomorrow and into the early hours. Who knows what will happen. The balmy met office app has me down for seven hours of heavy snow. Mmm as long as I see a few flakes I'm happy 

[Model Output Discussion 29th December - Into mid-Winter.]

Can the ecm really be wrong at this timeframe?   Great viewing 

[Model Output Discussion 29th December - Into mid-Winter.]

Much more of the country could be in luck for more snow Friday 

[Model Output Discussion 29th December - Into mid-Winter.]

well  only the gfs  but it seems to start with atleast snow mainly from south wales  up towards Lincolnshire   the rest rain.  will prob change  turns to snow later in the south east

I think we're at the wait and see stage now. Never really been optimistic about our chances here and remain that way. The last 4 years have bought me back to Earth a bit. Had this been January 2014, would have been all over this one and very optimistic....but had a very harsh lesson since then! No bad thing I suppose...

Yep Gord  not expecting alot   im just a little interested in how far  north the band gets   also maybe a chesire streamer could bring a few surprises.  Edit  the metoffice weather icon thingy me bob  is rubbish  has me down for 6 hours heavy snow   and 3 hours of light snow   

[The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

I think it certainly is a case of radar watching on Thursday/Friday  The euro 4 does have some snow chances over us   as ever we shall wait and see

Was difficult to see.

That quite a change from is other tweet. Is that perhaps due to main band moving more notthwards?

This is my personal assessment of the modelled synoptics using a blend of experience & probability

Fair enough Johnathon it's your opinion and it's no less important then anyone else's. Me I have no idea  not a scooby. Bloody good fun though 

[Model Output Discussion 29th December - Into mid-Winter.]

Well not quite on the gfs 18z as other members have said pigeon steps. Remarkable model watching     At the moment I'm currently in bed I phone in hand with the wife snoring unable to stop watching the models  think we all must be mad  Does anyone know when the the euro 4 updates please ?
