The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion - 07/12/2017 Onwards

[Snowy L]

Met office chief forecaster: there is increasing certainty in the track and location of the heaviest snow. Nottingham is right in the middle of that amber warning lattitude-wise so hopefully any minor corrections shouldn't change too much.

[Cov87]

With most of the west mids in the amber warning how much snowfall could fall for those places in the amber warning?

[drgl]

Shrewsbury snow shield broken for first time since March 2013!!! yay, Telford has lots more but this is turning out to be great for us in the west for a change

Light snow shower here after a big 4 hours of the Solihull Snow Shield recovering!

Changing some details

[Matty23]

Been very lucky in Shrewsbury we are just on the edge of all these showers. About time we had some luck for a change

Probably around 10 to 15cm, maybe locally up to 20 to 30cm in some odd spots, especially over the hills!

[DIS1970]

I think that's it here locally now today in terms of snow, just wait until Sunday now and see what falls out of the sky.

[nobble]

Glad Shrewsbury has done better for a change

dissapointed for my area

[MattStoke]

A complete let down in Stoke. Showers passing to our south west. May still catch a few later though, and tomorrow the stream of showers may move over us.

[MKN]

I think that at the moment.

Indeed. Genuinely gutted today but Sunday may bring the goods.

[ChezWeather]

Peak District 10ft drifts incoming

Buxton shovel store owners will be cashing in ❄❄❄❄

[WinterWilf]

What do you guys think about burton upon trent for tomorrow?

After last nights let down worried about sunday being abit of a non event or poor slush.

Just hope the models don't push the low too far north or keep it south.

Don't want to end up on the edge of that snow line as happened before. 

[deka]

Over 6 inches here in Ellesmere where I'm working , same back at home in Bomere north of Shrewsbury - still heavy snow falling 

[#windysnow#]

Well after last years let down I said I would never be back on here........but I’m additcted to snow and the Midlands forum  so I’m back  

I was so sure that us in NW Leics would get an inch last night I even cancelled going to my Xmas do in London...but once again a let down  however I am willing to sacrifice last nights snow for the hope of what is to come on Sunday. If that doesn’t come off....that is it I’m done with the Midlands Forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( well until the models show another juicy set up  )

i think NW Leics should do well on Sunday? But I would welcome an expert view/thoughts 

 

[MattStoke]

Met Office forecast Sunday now has no mention of rain, only snow.

[Anthony147]

This Sunday event had better happen now, I’ve used my free hit on fantasy football to remove all players from Sunday’s north west derby games in the faint hope of clawing back some points on everyone else when they get called off ?

[WinterWilf]

Until I see the snow falling im just going to tell myself its not going to so I don't get disappointed. This is what burton is forcast at 6am sunday.

 

[SalopWatcher]

This is mental in Shrewsbury, constant pretty much all day. Roads gridlocked, schools closing. Trip to London abandoned for the moment. 

[Arctic Hare]

Still snowing here, albeit the flakes are small. 6cm on cars and about 4cm on pavements. Much less on the road where it's wetter.

Pretty pleased, really! Reaching 5cm in Bewdley is not a common occurrence -- this is the first time since March 2013.

Really hoping those of you who missed out today will join the fun on Sunday!

That's either great or very bad for you.

Glad you got some of the white stuff.

Yes Thats a nice chart showing a nice corridor from Burton, thru Swad and then thru me and on to Leicester 

[davehsug]

Moderate snow sower passing. Doesn't look much behind it on the radar though.
