Harmonie  6z  much better

Along with the NMM

 

Could be anything at the moment

Is that for the whole of the midlands or just the west mids?!

The NMM is great   keeps the band on a more easterly path   and keeps the main band over the midlands    with the second band to follow   Edit  its a barnstormer

Now that’s what I call a wintery scene 

[MattStoke]

Freezing fog has returned here. Should help keep the temperature down and surfaces colder. Currently -3’C.

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Still some snow about

Lucky you - it's a rather mild -2.3c in the fog down here at 11am    Time for my daily exercise, I think!

NMM looks great   but  away from high ground  200metres ish  not alot of laying snow.  of course that could change

[DIS1970]

Just radar & window watching is the key, forget the guess work.

Doesn’t the NMM use GFS data, which shows similar? Snow falling onto frozen ground and melting seems strange.

I think the the parallel might have this one in terms of accumulations!!think the higher resolution is picking up on the smaller accumulations better than the op?!!

The only thing i can see  is that during the period of precipitation  the Dew Points are between 1 and 0   i hate to use the word  but marginal  seems to be the issue  

The Icon keeps Dps at -1 to 0   for the west at least

Reports (tweets) coming in from the northwest of england of snow starting to fall!!

[weirpig]

Ive always rated the cosmo  model   lol

 

[BarometerCat]

Really frosty here..-1 still and no thaw out. Roofs still white over and a bit foggy.   Just had Weather warning for snow and Ice for later and tomorrow. 

[shunthebartlett92]

Met office sticking their necks out once again. If you don't live above the oxygen line (8000m) youll just get a wintry mix at best. Only the top of everest will get a dusting or the top 3 in the himalayas
