East Midlands Regional Discussion

Radar says its not over, security light disagrees! Andy, we got 5mm at best so far from the latest ppn?

18z GFS is rolling out. Slight upgrades for Northants in terms of snow intensity early tomorrow afternoon:

Well, finally what looks to happen seems nailed. 18z GFS is nearly identical to 12z, same story for NAE. Very slight downgrade with regards to intensity on the GFS precipitation itensity chart, but it's a negligible amount.

Anyone noticed that the METO have not updated East Mids forecast since 4 this afternoon, still saying the odd light flurry!!

[stevomatt]

I'm confused ?? There is nothing at all here in wellingborough

[kmanmx]

Not sure if GFS is more of a downgrade than I initially thought. Uhm.

How is leicesters chances!!around 7cms??

Reckon it'll be a case of check the radar tomorrow and looking outside from now on, this evening indicates that well.

[snow freak]

not sure tomorrow's event is going to be that exceptional for us here in the east midlands. Yes we will get some snow but I hardly think 2-5cm is mega snowfest. I just hope we get 10cm plus but I'm not holding my breath. Is Northampton really East Midlands?....I never know.

Yeah. But why oh why does it have to arrive just before i'm heading home from work. Will not be impressed if I get stuck travelling !

Officially yes. But we are at the very far south of the East Mids.

[rob1603]

Absolutely gutted thought we might get a little snow in Grantham after reading all these posts,not seen a flake all evening.

Has anyone got a guess on how far east the precipitation will get tomorrow.

[snow freak]

Officially yes. But we are at the very far south of the East Mids.

Is that good or bad for tomorrow's snow?

[MKN]

NAE seems a fairly big downgrade tbh. Gd job tonights improved things

chart?

[mitton_ncn]

I live in Orston. Inbetween Notts and Gratham. Notts had a light dusting earlier, but not much here. Not sure if the band and how heavy will reach this far east tomorrow.

[shaky]

Nae is practically same as the 12z!!no downgrade!!even the gfs aswell!!

[SL7]

Eh did anyone notice this. Heavy Snow for Leicester this evening with 80% chance

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/leicester-city-fc#?tab=fiveDay&fcTime=1358380800

It didn't materialise, however.

Why oh WHY are you looking at charts +12hrs max? Not the most accurate method now, we should all know this by now.

Could anyone answer this please, in my location (small village near ashby de la zouch) I am probably 5miles outside of the amber zone, but bang in the middle of the yellow zone, however I only have light snow forecast tomorrow and Saturday with not a period of heavy snow, so if I get 10cm is it going to built up over 48 hours?
