Midlands Regional Discussion Feb 2021 Onward

[Snowy L]

Very poor here, woke up to everything still green. Showers mostly dying in the East Midlands, this wasn't in the forecast.

[Tommytomtom]

Steady snow 

[WelfordRd]

Blue sky above us and clouds breaking but still lightly snowing, we are right on the edge of these showers. They need to beef us a bit so everyone can enjoy them west of us 

[gig1968]

Light snow here now in birmingham

[Sleet30031972]

Siberian scene outside. Powder snow falling and settling from a lead grey sky. Likely to continue all day. Amber warning. Odd as i was told this was going to be "cack" and, also, that it was a , to paraphrase, 'lot of fuss about nothing'? Confusing

[Rickent]

hammering it down here.

[Storme]

Well, windy, snowy, getting heavier. Looks like it could be in for sometime. We shall see.

Well in some places it's great, in others (here) it is cack.

think flurries on and off today, heavy at times if lucky, maybe thaws inbetween if sun shines

can't see much of a thaw in this biting easterly? just whether the snow really settles at all being the main issue.

Looking at radar I’d say Birmingham area could get some today they do seem to be spreading a bit further west now

not much snow to say we are under the amber warning though  

[GokouD]

Crap here, a couple of dusty mm, and most of what's left of the showers heading north or south of me. Oh well, I wasn't expecting much from an easterly anyway!

Sublimation rather than thawing. 

[MattStoke]

Anyone catching those bad boys to the north of Stoke?

[scottyuk]

Fairly moderate snow falling here, roads are getting covered again.

Snow picking up here now and  the sky looks full of precipitation - visibility looks to be quite reduced. 5-10cm looks likely today

[Gord]

Look at those heavy showers that have made it to Cheshire. They made landfall around Bridlington, tracked across the south Pennines and have still kept going.

Our ones that have come through one of the flattest counties in the country and have darted south of the Peak District are really struggling.

Just when you think you’ve got to grips with the science behind it all!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

looks like beefier showers around to the E/NE, mainly so far though north of Stoke

[Matthew Gill]

Just too far west here, light snow and a small dusting overnight. 

The convection needs to pick up a bit to make it further inland

I don’t understand how the Pennines does less damage to some of these showers than the Peak District

And then the Peak District does less damage than completely flat land over Nottingham/Lincolnshire.

[BhamBoy]

Quite heavy and persistent in Brum albeit with small flakes, and settling quite readily 

[Shezale coventry]

Snowing in Birmingham hammering it down around Leicester but here its bone dry
