The Midlands - Weather Chat

[i love snow]

Looks like it's coming from north now and looks heavy towards Cannock and coming down the M6

[Dibdabbers]

Look how to precipitation starts to bend and actually deform itself away from us!

Bizarre

Plenty more building just look at the ppn in the north heading down into the midlands

Heading for Worcester?

 

Looks like the eastern edge of the big blob might hit Worcester. I think you should get something.

Cleared away now, nice surprise seeing heavy snow again for the first time since March 2013, winds turning NNW/N so Worcester in for pasting next.

Things we do to see snow lol

As if it would just drop south the moment it gets here

[mackerel sky]

Yeah I mentioned that last night as well. I don't mean to sound like i'm being petty but how can Glossop be classed as the Midlands? It's 10 miles East of Manchester!

Some will probably think "well you can't talk, you are from Oxford and posting in a Midlands thread!" But I post in here and the 'South West & Central Southern' thread. I still think Oxford is Central enough to be classed as Midlands though.

I probably wouldn't class Oxford as the Midlands, but it probably shares it's weather with some areas that are such as south Warks and south Northants. For here I look towards Oxford for stuff spreading in from the SW on the radar with confidence, or Leicester from the NW or Peterborough from the NE. You can always tell you're in grey zone if you get two lots of regional TV. We get Anglia/Look East and Central/East Mids today. But Nottingham is a hell of lot nearer than Norwich!

Boom Narnia here whiteout . How much is forecast from this beauty?

[Gord]

Well it is snowing now...and despite the shift, we may actually still get something decent. There also seems to be streamers developing behind it.

I can't see the streamers making it here might have to wait for the stuff over Scotland heading our way

[mackerel sky]

Disagree, the Midlands is a great thread why try and split it up, who care's that Lincolnshire will be taken out of the Yorkshire one ? it's now't to do with this thread.

Anyway i enjoy what the easterlies have to say and also to be honest when snows around it's the only time we really come together..... ME SAY NO CHANGE

Because the weather in the East Midlands can be very different to the weather in the West Midlands and the Welsh Borderlands. Lincolnshire is in the East Midlands region, not Yorkshire and Humberside and the weather is more consistent with that.

[snowangel32]

See gord things popping up all the time. Even tomoz nite forecast snow now aswell 3 late nighters in a row lol

Moderate snow falling

Great to see some heavy snow coming down. Not bothered if there's a covering in the morning, it's fun to watch it drop.

Snow is now pasting it down

[cyclonic happiness]

Well it's changed direction and is heading more south now.

There are lots of folk down that way who deserve some snow, so I won't begrudge it....this time :-)

[Summer of 95]

Still a few flakes floating around, was quite heavy for half an hour or so and seemed to turn more to powdery snow towards the end. 2cm covering on all surfaces.

[andy_leics22]

Come on PPN, start shifting more Eastward dammit!! Seen 2 paltry sugar dustings so far this Winter here and last Winter... Well, I won't even go there. We need a covering

[snowangel32]

Heavy now, loving tonite

[Arctic Hare]

It's been chucking it down here! We had 20p flakes covering all surfaces nicely. A bit lighter now, but still snowing. Maybe between 0.5cm and 1cm on the grass now, so already rivalling the best of the mid-January spell. It does seem a bit wet, so if temps rise later in the night it may all have gone by breakfast time, but at least it's here now!

 

Edit: The Malverns are going to get plastered any minute!

Proper coming down now and maybe more in the morning and now I'm hering tomorrow night?

No way is Lincolnshire part of the East Midlands region    but that's your view on things....Have a vote and lets see

Save tonight and give us a covering of snow, come tomorrow, tomorrow it'll probably be gone. Save tonight...
