Not surprised, I'm further south than you, the roads (A428) are in a state, drifting from the fields making it one lane road in places.

Was bad driving home in it main road between Kettering and corby shocking

gfsvsactual.thumb.jpg.9278f6ef01f195f56f5ed694c37c9d36.jpgMy take based on what the radar has been showing...

West of the red line. Considerable snowfall, West of the orange line fine but continuous snow for some time. West of the yellow line snow ending by around 9pm

Good Midlands Today forecast, though doesn’t look like the snow radar has been updated to reflect the more Easterly track! Didn’t have the updated amber warning also, so think it was all a bit out of date.

More snow apparently tomorrow evening/night, 5-10cms widespread apparently.

More snow Sunday night, potential stalling front.

Ptedictions all Shefalis so don’t blame me if they’re wrong!

Well Shefali suggested more of the W. Mids would get hit by Emma than others had.  Got to give her some house points for that so perhaps she's on a roll.

No idea but she's nailed the more easterly track of this one.  But then the Daily Express have also hit the jackpot this year...:D

I think this must surely be unprecedented. 

We have a Yellow Warning for snow this evening from the east/north-east. 

We have a Yellow Warning for snow this evening from the south-west. 

It seems we may get snow this evening but nobody knows if we'll be getting convective snow from the Beasterly, or frontal snow from Storm Emma...!

Does anyone know of this happening before for snow from two almost-opposite directions?

Just been up onto the Staffs Moorlands and the wind was brutal. The snow is drifting to around 4ft in places. Had a good walk round, back down at lower level now and its blowing a gale here still. Looks like snow won't make it through the night here now.

Regarding the Midlands today weather forecast.... That's what I thought, they haven't had time to update there forecast,  TV Charts etc. But she could of mentioned the updated warnings ?

It's been a very good day so far - can't believe how such slow snowfall rates could not only stick to main roads and cause chaos, but could also cover over previously gritted areas. Just goes to show how cold the air/ground is. 

Unfortunately, the front is really noticeable taking a left turn out towards the west now, the snowfall has virtually stopped at this point and I can't see it returning with any sort of vigour.

That being said, we have 7-8CM's in areas untouched by the winds and drifts of almost 2 ft to exposed fences. 

If this had been 100 miles NE, we'd have been talking about one for the ages. 

Can anyone back up Shefali's thoughts regarding Tomorrow/Saturday/Sunday with any sort of PPN charts? Seems outlandish to me, other than perhaps tomorrow.
