Anyone else thinking there could be a few snow flurries/showers around the West Mids tomorrow night after the front as winds come from the North West?

Met Office regional forecast mentions wintry showers for Shropshire. Think the wind may have too much of a northerly component to push them further east.

Anyone read the BBC monthly outlook? Very wintry!

Looks like a predominantly north westerly flow over the next week or so. Good for wintriness here.

The pros seem quite excited about the chances of severe cold later in the month thanks to an expected major SSW. Interesting times.

Thank you, anymore will be a nice surprise though :).

Also looking at the radar now seems to be quite a lot of very light snow about, and pushing into the North Midlands.

Yeah. Loads of flurries over the North Midlands and Northern England. Looks interesting, although I suspect quite a bit of it may be evaporating before reaching the ground.

Snowing just north of Derby,nothing much but giving a dusting on car roof and wheelie bin.No wind at all so floating down really slowly.

Really. I'm down for 9 hours of the stuff. Apps and met and BBC charts are awful. Check radar for best results

Apps are pretty useless. I've gone from 1 hour of light snow to 3 hours of heavy snow to 6 hours of light snow in the past few days.

Precipitation developing over the Midlands now.

Remember 2013 when we weren't expecting snow and all of a sudden it developed over the top of us and gave 10"?

 

Fingers crossed! ;-)

Why did BBC forecaster (Shafers) end with “you should make sure you tune into the forecast tomorrow night” and then he ended with a sly wink??? 

New graphics launch tomorrow. :-)

Nice snow shower to wake up to. Nice covering and still snowing. A prelude to later although it looks like light snow for a fair few hours puts up to snow falling days to 12 now. Not a bad winter lol. :yahoo:

Actually had a covering on all surfaces with some quite heavy falls of snow, and all this is before the main front comes along, pleasantly surprise.

BTW, still snowing pretty large flakes as I'm writing this
