My location is now in my thingy. Let snowmageddon commence!

<<ramp>>

[Summer of 95]

Nothing at all here- the sky has cleared

[Adzyy]

Mostly clear here. Sure feels bitter.

[Fozfoster]

Must be clear here too with temp falling!

Looked at radar and any showers fade away before they get here.

Sadly, looks like showers are fading before they get here. Just broken cloud coming across now. Wasn't expecting much anyway. At least I've seen a bit of falling snow this winter. (Slept through the other one earlier in the month...though was up early enough to see the dusting it had left)

[Staffordshire]

Will probs set my alarm for 3-4ish just incase I get to see anything

[picog]

Saw plenty of wet snow when I drove through the Forest of Dean and Monmouth earlier this evening, around 5pm

[reindeer]

snow! quite a blizzard for 5 minutes, too wet and not settling

Well would you believe Monmouth is where I was yesterday, while it was thundering in Shrewsbury- and now its snowing there while I'm back here seeing nothing........

[Gord]

Not worth staying up tonight. Heavier stuff up north over West Yorkshire and down south near Bristol. The radar looks very patchy and fragmented downwind of here. There will be probably be a few more flurries through the night but not worth having a tired Monday over. Not overly convinced the stuff over Ireland will hold together, that too has plenty of breaks in it.

 

Ah well...can't say it hasn't been an interesting weekend of weather. Saturday January 25th may end up as the top date of this winter for weather events! It'll be up there whatever happens from here anyway! Pleased with that one...

[I remember Atlantic 252]

18Z puts a shocker in, no way will that come off

[Staffordshire]

18Z puts a shocker in, no way will that come off

indeed mark, very snowy round these parts if that came to fruition, I still stand by 5th feb (+/- one day) as a nice snow event for us

[Costa Del Fal]

A few wintry showers here in Falmouth tonight. Certainly a benefit living down here tonight with cold air over that warm sea generating short but heavy showers. Hail, sleet, snow and there have been some lightning strikes dotted around too.

 

Good luck Midlanders!

Have you taken the excitement down there with you again? Don't make me get on that sleeper train!

 

Although, yesterday's storm...that's ours...it's in the bank...you can't have it!

[snowangel32]

Indeed 18z pulls a cat out of the bag with a very snowy run, shame its the pub run, those models love to torture us. We all still have hope thanks to the gfs never thought I would be saying that lol. Nite all.

[LadyEv06]

Let the lamp post watching commence!

[Summer of 95]

Not clear any more- more boring, pathetic rain. In fact it's more like drizzle, and it doesn't feel anywhere near cold enough for snow. Even if we get a heavy evaporating cooling shower it'll just melt once it's stopped, because the temperature refuses to drop when it clears at night this winter.

Haha I highly doubt its as exciting as it was yesterday for you lot. Sounds amazing and sounds like my home town pretty much took the worst out of the whole of the UK given the lightning strike fires and the prolonged radar returns more than anywhere else!

 

I remember early last summer I think it was we had a warm spell and thunderstorms were predicted for most. They never showed up anywhere except one place and that was home even though it wasnt much. Stourbridge does seem to have a bit of luck when it comes to Thunderstorms sometimes. 

 

Anywhere I personally havent witnessed any lightning here tonight but the potential is there all of tonight and all day tomorrow.

 

If the 18z is right we could have more heavy wintry shower and thunder later this week.

[i love snow]

Snowing here

[Summer of 95]

Still no sign of any snow, skies are clear but the temperature once more just will not drop. It's still 3C and has been since those light RAIN showers earlier cleared away. 

[Summer of 95]

Something's falling now- oh what a surprise it's rain again. Can't really understand how some are getting snow, it seems far too warm...

[Gord]

Looks like the band is breaking up as it approaches. More death by welsh mountains.

[Barbmac]

No snow cover this morning, sadly. 2.8^oC currently.  Dewpoint 1.1^oC.

[WillinGlossop]

Torrential sleet.....its definately got flakes but its sleet.... 1c ......

[shaky]

Well the euro4 model got it wrong aswell and that is rated highly aswell!!it had snow across the midlands at 3am but when I checked the radar it had the same band across wales!!and then when it did approach its just broke up and dissapeared so it got it wrong on 2 counts there!
