Gfs looks fantastic for the midlands tomorrow night into monday!!

Better once again with winds coming from a more north east direction monday. Not showing huge amounts of precip but i think its underplaying it a touch. 

[el tiempo]

sleety here too

[MattStoke]

Must be a bit colder than expected and will hopefully lower the temperature more quickly. Bodes well for later tonight!

With it's height, I would have expected Talke to be getting snow. Must be over 700ft?

[ISAAC]

Nice whilst it lasted. 

Hopefully just a teaser of what to expect in the days ahead.

Dry here as expected, but at least the sky's cleared a bit. Lots of cloud still in the west though, so no late sunshine. Temp down to 2.5 °C now.

[Dancerwithwings]

First radar snapshot, with the 850hpa overlay, not sure what the temps are though, still all new to me with this v8 regarding using it

 

[Ryukai]

Seems to be 'pulsing' in little bursts.  Big enough to stick around on the grass for a bit (long enough for it to build up if there was more intensity to it).  Layer of icy slush on the car roof's/bonnets too.

[Storme]

Just going to clean out the chickens and top up feed. Sky gone a funny orange colour.

Memorial times, before all this online tech came along, best sign going

Whatever happens with the rest of this cold spell, I can still say I’ve seen snowfall from every Midlands event so far this winter, and at one point I was thinking I might not see a single flake from this one.

By the way, if this afternoon’s model updates so far are correct, we’ll all be riding polar bears and skating on the oceans before winter is out.

Yeah we norm do quite well mate, but possibly a little too far West. Just gone to get stuff ready for work, and def feels colder now. 

Working all night so I'll soon get to see the difference around Stoke, Castle, depending who wants a taxi lol

This is what needs to happen!
