Absolutely teaming down now!!
It's a white out including main roads!!
-
Snow in Shrewsbury! Incredible
After hours of hail, sleet, rain it's snowing heavy and sticking!!
-
Probably a last update on this spell from me now the end is in sight
A slow start compared to most
Friday was decent but again others did better
Sunday finally saw it become our turn!
although we saw a thaw by Sunday night I had and extra 6/7 cm's on top of Friday's giving 10/12 cm. We never get that in Shrewsbury!! Highest drift in garden at 1 foot
A lovely surprise snowfall last night adding another 2/3 cm!!
What's been annoying has been the thaw that's taken place on a few days during the height of the day
I'd say the highest level depth I could find in my garden now would be 12-15 cm so happy!
We always seem to cope really well with the snow here, main roads always fine, estate roads are now clear, all pavements have maybe 1cm, some still untouched have alot more
Biggest dissapointment is lack of cold! I'll never forget the 2 foot icycles of Dec 2010.
Don't think we've got below -3 this cold spell :/
That will probably change tonight or tomorrow though!
A very respectable snowy spell but not at 09/10/11 levels
-
And the snow starts up again!
-
Yeah another 2-4cm in Shrewsbury
All main roads completely fine, cars easily removing any lying snow as its so wet
-
It may well reach you, looking at it's current rate of progress, as long as it doesn't stall or fizzle out.
Thanks
Just started
-
Anything likely for Shrewsbury?
-
Would love to see some sun here!
And more snow of course
-
Met O forecasting some sun here tomorrow
Quite a turn around from 2 days ago when heavy snow all afternoon!
It'll be incredibly welcome! How dull has January been so far!?
-
I make it -0.3 in Shrewsbury, feels colder!
-
Any reports from Shropshire/west Worcestershire way? Showers seem to be approaching from Wales on what now looks like a westerly flow.
Snow just starting in Shrewsbury, very light and snizzly atm
-
The 12z NAE says the SW and Welsh borders are going to get a pounding from snow tomorrow!!
All of the West Mids would see some snow
However it's only one chart
My advice is look at the Met O forecasts. Ignore the graphics on the BBC forecasts
-
MetO say light snow till 9am
:D Gotta be honest looking at radar's it ain't gonna happen!
May be wrong
-
Still falling very finely in Shrewsbury, lovely Christmas card scenes outside, at least 10cm on the ground now. Must have had about 6 cm since 3pm- a fantastic day in the end when it looked to be going wet and pear-shaped at lunchtime.
At 1pm I thought here we go again, same old story
How wrong! As you say a good 10/12 cm maybe 15 in the odd spots with snow from Friday. Great day
-
Well I can't complain
Friday was a once a winter event for here. Today has topped it up to an event every 3/4 years, though they are becoming more common than my childhood in the 90's 00's
Alex Deakin really didn't want to mention Tuesday yet... Could be mad again! Seems to be every other day atm
-
I'm inclined to just go with the Met O
They forecast today since Friday
They over-egged Saturday and Friday didn't quite hit here as bad as others but was still decent
Atm they've say NO to Tuesday, yesterday it was YES
By the afternoon tomorrow I'll believe what they say
-
Had a base of 2 inch max on grass before today, now at 5/6 inches
-
Great to see people recording 15cm +
I'm well happy with the 10/12 cm, most of which has fallen today since 4pm
-
Only 1cm here today, snow stayed very light over here, glad you guys in Shrewsbury finally got pasted though!
Total accumulative precip for the next 48 hours.
Crikey!!!
Bring it on!
Yeah from 4pm onwards I'd say 3 inches, so in 5 hours is good going
-
18z NAE shows a real snow fest for Tuesday with over 10cm of snow in places
Link please mate?
How you done today/evening mainly?
-
Still snowing! Finally easing, is it about to end after 12 hours???
Since 4pm the roads have a good 2/3 cm on them
The grass, with a little help from Friday must have 10/12 cm easy, maybe pushing 15cm in a few spots
That's alot for here, and most places!!
Depths have other folk got?
-
Don't think I've ever seen 11 hours of straight snow here!
Met O says it ain't over just yet
-
0pposite here, friday was fantastic, today just around 2cms, but was all I expected today
It's amazing the differences across the region, hasn't stopped since 9, only started sticking properly after 3! Had it stuck all day I can only imagine the amounts!!!
-
STILL snowing in Shrews
This'll go down for me as a memorable day so far in the 21st century here snow wise
Must've had inches today looking at it!
This has been our turn after missing out until Friday (even that was poor here compared to many in West Mids
