Midlands Regional Discussion Jan 2021 Onward

[DerbyshireDales]

Still not reached us here in Matlock. Forecasts still saying heavy snow from 1pm onwards here. I can’t see that happening though. Think it’s going to miss us.

That radar is definitely lying lol

All radars are lying as you are saying, even the v8 radar is struggling to show precipitation, it’s snowing here and it isn’t showing on this one either.

 

[BLIZZARDMAN]

I’ll take that for now

The pivot looks ideal for Nottingham , Derby , Tamworth , Burton , Matlock though in this region of it can go wrong if will. Some light insignificant snow in the centre of Notts now 

[Sweatyman]

So whens it gonna head back south then? Doesnt look like it yet!

You have done well though this winter! more than me upto now I'd have thought

[WelfordRd]

Stopped in Hinckley now, had been steady drizzly snow but is down to a flurry now 

[Jason74]

Well, for this part of the Midlands, this winter (so far) has been bloody brilliant. Several snow events, plenty of days of lying snow, and this current snowfall is the best so far. If I don't see another flake this winter then I'll be more than happy with what we've had here.

Snizzle now here on the Tipton/ Wednesbury border, not sure it will return later, not complaining though  

[Gustywind]

Stopped here now finally, 7cms in total.

[cold stoke]

Well it didn't manage to get to stoke never mind

[RobR]

Looks like it's now stopped here. Is this thing actually going to push back or are we done for the day? Hoping for a good hard freeze tonight before the big melt by Tuesday.

Very light precipitation rarely shows on radars, that's probably why.

At one point I was under yellow with zero snow. I think the Easterly wind is pushing snow at ground level 5-10 my miles west of where the radar is showing it.

Also the radar may be reading the precip from a slight southerly angle, not from directly above, just a theory.

Never understood hate for snow that's coming from a driving commuter too, nothing more therapeutic than a walk in fresh falling snow.

Aye looking interesting again on models, few mild days, then hope more fun and games very late Jan

[WelfordRd]

Going to need convincing this stuff to the north of Hinckley is going to come back south, it seems to be racing north westwards
