[West Midlands Regional Discussion]

On my drive from Coventry to Market Harborough the temperature fluctuated quite a bit. -1.5°C at home 0°C on the M6 and -3°C here in Harborough. It is much whiter over here than at home. Was worried about the driving tomorrow but the weather on the BBC this morning shows the heavy snow all down towards the south west. I would love some decent snow but I still need to get to work. Matt Hugo also thinks the snow is going to be more in the West.

[Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI]

Good Afternoon All,

It has been snowing here in Coventry since before lunch. It hasn't added much to those areas where the snow had thawed but it is now starting to stick.

We did quite well he yesterday with about 3 to 4 inches. As I am in the office it is hard to tell how much has been added to that today.

If what the meto rainfall chart is showing stays as snow then we should see a bit more yet.

My eight year old son thought yesterday was the best day of his life, he built his first ever snowman.

Good luck all, shame it is going to warm up after this.

[12z Model discussion - rain, sleet or snow?]

12z UKMO, for Thursday 12z (t+48) has -4C 850mb line roughly M4, though snow possible beyond the morning South of this over particularly highground due to low heights and evaporative cooling, though return to rain after morning south of M4 more likely it all depends on how much of the milder air/higher Dps over channel gets mixed in as it's not clear cut - nowcasting will be key:

Thank you, so many models to look at, to a novice like me it is hard to follow.

Good Afternoon Steve,

You say that the UKMO has trended south, do you have any idea where this will bring the linee of precip.

The GFS sample point for my area is showing precip but the DAM is above 528. Will this mean that the precip will more likely fall as rain?

Cheers

Good Afternoon All,

Here in Coventry we have had an unbeleivable storm, not sure of how much rain fell initially but it was wild. To me it was like when you see the TV reports during a hurricane. It went very dark, lots of lighning and thunder and the wind and rain was amazing.

The Met office appear to have a lot of weather warnings out.

Sorry everyone stay safe.

Cheers

[Greenland Autumn Temperatures]

Can you compare exact dates with each other? the 26th Oct in '62 would of actually of been a different time of the season wouldnt it because leap years slowly push things out dont they? According to my calculations we're 10 days behind the 26th in '62?

Tell me if i'm talking rubbish

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As far as I remember doesn't the earth take 365.25 days to go around the sun. The extra day then brings us back into line. Thus the seasons move by 0.25 of a day per year. The leap year day then corrects this.
