Anyone else had quite a bit of melt ?

Can hear the usual dripping, snow fallen off plants and slid off cars etc.

Yes we have corby northants as well.

[Chunky Flake]

Heavy fine snow here . Will Cannock see much more tonight ?

i'm wondering whether the storm to the south will help to reintensify the precipitation. We just don't want it too far north , or it'll introduce warmer upper, thus ending our fun.

It's already further north than expected

I think your right. It seems as the storm heads north and our current front heads south it seems the euro4 at least thinks it will add intensity. There is also a slight chance the storm tomorrow will head even further north and the Midlands could get hit again. Only very slight chance I think tho.

MetO Upgraded me to 4 hours heavy snow too. Not sure where it's supposed to come from!

Does anyone else think the radar is now shifting more from a west to east pattern

Yeah just saw the tweet, makes a bit more sense now. 

[MattStoke]

Been snowing lightly for hours, adding maybe another cm. Front clearing here very soon though. Wonder when I will see snow again...

Might be a daft question, but... 

 

When I come onto the forums, I can click on the thread title and go to Page 1 of 73, or I can click on the last [pst made and come straight to p.73.... but am I missing something to click on to take me to where I left off half an hour ago? 

I read from an iPad, and just leave the page open, but if I leave and come back the forum offers me an option to go to first unread post?

maybe it’s to do with your cookie settings?

I'm a mildy and I have enjoyed this weekend but it's when it goes on for weeks that I hate, like it did December 2010. Mainly because my house doesn't have central heating. I don't mind waking to a 6 or 7C bedroom for a few days but any longer and it becomes horrible fast.
