I remember a few days ago you said in the mod thread us midlanders would have a gd chance mate good call.

[The Wolf]

Sleet here now.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

You should see snow before the day is out,heavy snow now and settling the first of the year. :smiliz39:

 

ay but cannot compare it, aren't you at 300m asl?

[Gord]

Also sleet here now its trying to turn now

 

...and suddenly it's looking quite promising! Some quite large flakes coming down in the rain now...quite noticeable.

[Nick L]

Still all rain here, but I'm expecting to see the first flakes soon!

[davehsug]

Rain in stoke. If anywhere had a chance of all snow, I'd have said us.

[Gord]

Getting a few bursts of all snow now....before turning back to sleet. Love these situations.

I'm staying with family here in Knypersley at 215m on the edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Rain at the moment but I'm hoping to see a transition to snow very soon...

Happy Boxing Day everybody!

Sleety rain here, but increasing amounts of sleet as time goes on. Sleet content peps up when precip rate increases.

[Staffordshire]

Rain is still too light here atm, hoping for a turn around 5

[Nick L]

Turn to snow damn it!

There we go, snowing properly here now. Next question is when/if will it start settling?

 

I think if it's changed over up here already...than lower levels are going to get in on this too very soon.

[Cheese Rice]

The system is further north than projected, it will probably get colder for a bit then milder then colder again.

Northern parts of the Midlands should be just on the right side of marginal.

[The Wolf]

Getting desperate Nick?!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

i know its further north, leeds in prime spot, not bad height either

[Nick L]

Getting desperate Nick?!

 

About the weather or the football...?

[mackerel sky]

Dewpoint has dropped here to 0.9C! Radar says something should be falling from the sky but nowt.

[The Wolf]

Game over for the Midlands if system further North?

About the weather or the football...?

 

Both!

[Nick L]

Game over for the Midlands if system further North?

 

Both!

 

Game over? It's snowing already in places!

[Costa Del Fal]

Could the better Northerly extent of this band than modelled mean a better wrap around later tonight and more to play with per se?

[Ash66]

Moderate rain here, winds getting stronger and temps starting to drop

 

Fingers crossed

[BleakMidwinter]

Sleet here in Telford, but some very big wet snowflakes mixed in!

*excited*

[shaky]

I dont think the system is further north at all!! Just compared the current surface pressure to the one euro4 projected at 3pm and its pretty much identical! !
