Could we possibly finally get a wash streamer through Leicester and Birmingham? 

Possibly, fingers crossed.

[Chunky Flake]

We have a covering of snow on the edge of Cannock Chase. 

We only seem to be slightly in the yellow area so doubt we will get much tomorrow unless it moves 20 miles further north.

[Snowy L]

two huge showers incoming and I will most likely be between both. Story of the day, story of the week, story of the winter.

[Essan]

Snowing nicely here atm and nothing showing on the radar!

[markw2680]

Can’t help but think this front coming from the south has been modelled slightly to far west, I really wouldn’t be surprised come the morning to see it further east. Not sure about the northern extent though, we shall see

[I remember Atlantic 252]

not keen on updated FAX, looks like convection spoilt due to cloud from the low, bitter cloudy day

[Lampostwatcher]

current snow depth 3.5cm 

a few showers missing me atm 

by a few miles

[I remember Atlantic 252]

around 2 inch max, -4.9C, mostly clear though, just cumulus fast moving, inland convection died

[Chunky Flake]

Where can I find these charts and how often are they released ? Also what the thing I need to look for ?

 

 

[Matthew Gill]

Anyone in Leicester? I think your snow shield is about to come down

I think so. With the strength of the wind as well it's taking about 2 hours to get here 

[Herefordweather]

Dreadful Euro 4 for the Midlands. South Wales gets it all!

[BlueHedgehog074]

Would feel hard to believe it’s March tomorrow, but it’s nice to have Winter go off with a little bang ?❄️

It's still the 6z  

[matt_in_dudley]

Some extremely beefy snow showers up where i work in Penkridge, South Staffs. They closed the Day Centre i work at early. Old people and snow don't mix to well. Back home now, few showers throughout the day apparently.

Go to precip acc chart and you’ll see accumulation for 12z

[Midlander]

Okay EURO 4 not brilliant, lets wait for the ECM 12Z. ARPEGE and HIRLAM/GEM still good, think it will be a nowcast. Best to look at radar in the morning.

?????? how typical...

[mattyrayandkay]

-5 here now which is exceptional  for this time of day. If it stays clear I wonder how low it can go with this breeze.

Unfortunately its some of the worst performing models that show much for the midlands. May be looking like a relatively poor week for us unless some  decent showers come along.
