Temps decrease by 0.6 degrees for every 100 meters ASL. Can make all the difference with events like this.
Still snowing lightly in Coventry, less wet snow now, more the finer stuff. Should pep up more in a bit, so much to our west -
There's a lot of moisture in the air to our west on the radars. Feeling cold, will get colder. Looking good. Good signs from the NW too

Got the day off work tomorrow for Coventry Beer Festival, as much as I love the snow I hope the kids schools aren't closed. I need my beer fix

We don't get gritters for side streets.
Yeah, its wierd here. The only drivers that need to come down my street are the people that live here. It's not a through road, its a quiet suburban street. When it snows the gritter comes twice a day, it is a little hilly tho
Also, Cov Council want to spend their budget So they get the same next year -

Metoffice have now updated there forecast for coventry and....no snow not even light snow for tonight ?
Ignore it, had more snow today than yesterday, and has been snowing all day here in Eastern Green. Lightly yes, but it deserves at least a cloud and 1 snowflake graphic..
The metoffice app has shown NO snow for the whole day...
The app has no idea -
Just now, I remember Atlantic 252 said:
NE Midlands to miss it, bbc still gives me about 12 hours constant light snow, may have extra cm by tomorrow night
I'm hoping it follows the arrows and the Eastern edge sits just east of Coventry

Can't belive how diffrent the Met and BBC are from each other. Someone will be very Red faced.
Bonkers ain't it
The met office for my part of Coventry shows nothing but grey today, but it's snowing (lightly) and the radar has loads of light snow around our area.

The radar is a puzzle this morning
Snow almost anywhere and everywhere... I think its coming from E/SE and heading N/NW slightly. But its soo hard to tell as these are much larger showers that the streams of the last few days...
I can't make any of it out-

Annoyingly, it's hitting a brick wall through Oxfordshire, and dying out.
We really are terribly unlucky in this region when it comes to any snowfalls more than an inch
Don't say that
This looks more lively that what's failed earlier, with added precipitation behind it, so it should make it this time. Met office also predicting that lot will make land in CV world
-
Snow looks like its coming from the E / SE this morning (Was N / NE). So a definate change in the wind direction. Also means we should get that big patch of snow hitting Cov and the rest of the midlands in a couple of hours... hopefully

I hope that chunk over Leicester and towards Nuneaton hits the Western edge of Coventry. Might even head out to Meriden or Solihull to catch it

Sun back out in Coventry now, but the next lot is over Spalding - Bourne - Oakham way should hit Cov again in the next couple of hours (Again, ties up with the Met Office). That's the path the last lot took, and this looks to be doing the same

We honestly won't know about Thu/Fri till 12/24 hours before. It won't be a rainy washout tho, I'm sure of that. it will be cold, we will probably get snow. And thats from the GFS and METO

Hopefully, what's setting up in the Wash at the moment, collaborates with the Met Office. Heavy snow from Midlands for CV5 from 12.00

Tweet from our local forecaster from the coventry and Warwickshire area has he had one to many glasses of wine???
Sounds about right to me. Possibility of snow! and yes, its a historic period in weather in Cov if the temperature maintains its current downward sprial
Even if we don't get snow -

Thing is, this wasn't hyped by the Met Office or Meteoweather. Thy hype train came mainly from amateurs and enthusiasts... Oh, and the Express, who are sailing papers, not true journalism. Met Office has played a blinder, it didn't jump on the Snowmageddon bandwagon, just predicted cold weather and snow. Released warnings accordingly...
Also, it is the beast from the east as temperatures are struggling above freezing, and for end of Feb/beginning of March it still a truly remarkable period of weather. The best brings temperatures down, we shouldn't expect to much snow as far inland as this from the east. Also, theirs plenty of snow in favoured locations for this type of setup.

Been snowing in south east leicester for about 15 mins now!!
And by looking at the radar its quite a large are of precipitation. Then a heavier one in an hour or two will hit Leicester. Hopefully follow into Coventry then
-
What should be hitting Leicster now should hit Coventry in an hour, quite a large but light area of snow
Then a break, and a heavier band just behind it, both following the Mablethorpe - Leicster - Coventry path. Maybe a new type of streamer
-
There's a decent band of precipitation that made land over Mablethorpe and heading over Lincolnshire, to Leicestershire then towards Coventry and the eastern side of the West midlands. That should give Coventry a lovely snowy mix in a couple of hours. Looks heavier so shouldn't blow out. It matches with the Met Office apps and BBC forcast for 'heavy snow' around 11 am
Clutching at straws maybe, but It's how I see it

Remember folks. It's a forecast not a promise.
I hope it hits Coventry and the northern edge is well over the Midlands. But These things change, and it's more about nowcasting. I'm optimistic, but whatever I say or do the weather will do its own thing.
