The Midlands Regional Winter Discussion

[Staffordshire]

if what the models are showing at the moment comes off what kind of weather can we expect in the midlands?

they wont come off how they are showing now, not all of it anyway, but the talk for the weekend is a possible snow event.

i see but its so quiet on here compared to the other regional boards!

[wednesburybaz]

its because weve all been here before

well all get excited and be overhyped and then the next model comes out and its spring again!!

[Ian Brown]

Snowfest showing for you on Saturday, unless of course you are in cornwall

Certainly looks interesting for the region away from Northern most counties, though a degree of marginality involved.

[Strider]

Finally some action!!

[Wadey]

Looks great for us guys ATM

Not again Ian, its still FI snow locations unknown yet, 18Z gives a bit for the north

[Shezale coventry]

Still awfully quiet on here.

[Staffordshire]

Hey shezale, we normally are a quiet bunch, however for many of us in the more northern area of our reigon it might not be so great, Southern areas of ohr reigion could be in for some great snow, especially if that front stalls well! some very cold temps too possibly, snow cover will help that

[Stour7]

From reading the strat & model threads, I'm pretty certain it's going to get cold even very cold, as for snow, yes for some parts of the uk, don't think we will know where until prob Thursday, must say the strat & model threads make interesting reading

[Staffordshire]

Sorry forgot to add, the main snow band WILL move position (maybe not massivley) so dont count your eggs...

So like usual we can expect nothing to great in terms of snowfall? No wonder its so quiet lol

[Staffordshire]

Oh no, by no means am i saying that! there is cross model agreement that somewhere in the middlands could see a substantial amount of snow sat and possibly monday, just cant pinpoint where yet. although i think many middlanders are used to disapoinment so dont want to get excited just yet.

Yep sadly I'll be in Cornwall. Only snow will come in the form of showers I expect. With channel lows ill be well within any mild sector probably.

Ahaha nana every time you say this Ian. Always staffs and Shropshire to miss out. You've been proven wrong many a time with that.

morning all. Looking at nw's snow risk for sat it's got 90percent chance of snow, lets hope it comes off. Well what a day of model watching, lets hope it bares fruit and no last min sboilers.

yes syed we could be getting our first bit of snow but like always Where and how much still to be desided !

[picog]

An unexpected frost this morning — first of 2013. Now clear blue skies, so hopefully a lovely sunny day.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Saturday beginning to look interesting, Ian F mentions possible snow for Birmingham area, still feel I need a northward movement in low, monday deep FI but many of us in here look to be too far east

Do you mean too far west?

[Wadey]

Where's the best place for sledging in the midlands ? Bit more of a fun post instead of doom & gloom

[conor123]

I'll be done with this winter if what I think happens and Saturdays snow stalls a mere 10 miles south west of here, come on weather gods for once be kind.

[cyclonic happiness]

It's bound to move southeast at the last minute and London gets all the action.

Seems a matter of course over recent years.

I'm not gonna take it seriously until it's falling, then I may look at the radar.

[snowangel32]

Actually got excited just looked at snow chances on NW and we got a 90% chance, and the bbc weather has upgraded us to sleet so things moving in the right direction. It will be alot more clearer tomorrow though when it becomes shortrange lets hope we all see some of the white stuff.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

meto gives me light snow for Saturday, will only be temporary of course, mild air floods back in on monday

[PolarWarsaw]

I think itl stay South of us in Staffs anyway.
