The biggest dumpings will be over Solihull and also over Leceister, although everywhere else will at least still see between 60 to 70cm of snow...

(PS: nah, just made it up I'm afraid. But kinda wish it was true, though).

A Little Bird told me the biggest dumping will be over Alvechurch!!! So i will be wearing a hat the next couple of days!!! it will be the only thing white falling from sky

MetO still have my area down for heavy snow between 10pm tomorrow night at 6am Wednesday morning. 

 

4pm update knocks it down to light snow. for me in chesterfield. i expect more downgrades to follow...

 

yet, there is always hope. after all it's all so far just a forecast good or bad, not reality.

Probably recorded from earlier!

 

At least if it doesn't snow we won't have to endure watching it melt on Thursday!

I wish I was a multi billionaire. I'd build a high resolution model with 72hours output and a resolution down to 100m. It would also issue a new run every hour, free for anybody to see and do with it what they like. It'd cost probably £10Bn for a supercomputer that powerful. On the plus side i'd have a slightly higher chance of knowing whether there will be 0.5cm or 1cm of snow falling in Leicester :)

I've been quite fortunate of late really, we had snow lying from Boxing Day into the New Year and then occassional flurries since. I suppose we will just have to see what Mother Nature delivers!

I think tomorrow and Wednesday will certainly become one of those lamppost and radar-watching moments with the way some models go for snow and the way some go for rain/sleet.

So any snow over the next couple of days is a bonus. All eyes to the models then to see when the next cold spell is. Hopefully 10 times better than this one.

There are some ridiculous knee jerk reactions here regarding the potential shown tomorrow night. The gfs has changed its precipitation forecast drastically from 6 to 12z but it'll probably change again .

I don't think a great deal in the scheme of things has changed- a potential for some snow somewhere tomorrow evening/ night but not a whiteout.

Snow is rather difficult to predict you do realise?

Remember that there is some ongoing warming in the stratosphere which favours more cold outbreaks as we move through the remainder of winter. So, although we may never find ourselves in the freezer, there could be possibilities of snow and frosts. Winter is far from over.

"IF" the GME Europa chart were to be correct then snow would be more likely.
