Midlands Regional Discussion Jan 2021 Onward

[davehsug]

Bit of a shame really, today's "snow event", is now quite quickly taking the lying snow, which has held on for almost 2 weeks.

[el tiempo]

Just watching Spanish tv news, some right dumpings there atm

[That ECM]

Good meto update for you guys. 

[MattStoke]

I know I’ve done well these past couple of weeks, but I’m still watching that large area of heavy precipitation across Northern England with envy as the drizzle comes down there. If only it had been further south like the models were showing!

[Rickent]

That precipitation has hardly moved south at all, no way its coming to us.

[nobble]

There’s hardly a breath of wind

No just the models but the METO to.

Which is what?

[DIS1970]

That band over the northern England has moved further north if anything over the last couple of hours, so the hope of the Mids having any of it is reducing fairly quickly at the moment

There is potential at times for significant snowfall on the boundary between milder and colder air masses, with greatest risk across central and northern areas.

Specific details vs general trend.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

with the greatest respect Matt we could pick up on the general trend …. the money pumped into the met office and there overall performance in the last 18 mnths has been poor at best. 

[nobble]

Got 5 hours of light snow now tonight

[DIS1970]

MetOffice app says heavy snow here now in Wolves, nothing falling, proves those things are a joke and a complete waste of space.

GFS joining potential party, well in FI, this the first of a few battleground systems, some may go north, some south, some maybe just right

[MKN]

Gem offers something a bit sooner...

Hopefully get through next week then we have chance of battleground snow wich is always risk for reward. So boring week ahead then its up for grabs again.

[MattStoke]

I’m dreaming of a December 2017 repeat. I missed the heaviest snow but it was still a great event and created stunning winter scenery. 
 

I’d love to see an event that brought a huge dumping of snow, like we see in other countries. Love to experience a Red warning for snow. Never been under a red warning for anything.

low needs to track just right, too far north rain, too far south dry/scraps, it's quarantine, don't want boring HP/mild

needs to track somewhere along line of Worcester to Northampton, mnot along the channel or the M4

bit like this!
