Nick - as the winter goes by you'll start understanding my pessimism - you could have 3 or 4 inches and amazingly i'd have nothing. Its so god damn frustrating.

Sleet with a rain mix...

Few more flakes involved now - plenty of time to change - lets hope it does

The beeb seem to forecast snow over us for most of the night and persisting well into the day tommorow - doubt it - but hopefully.

Rain, rain go away.

Pure rain here - i see the rugeley effect is taking place.

Im remaining positive which is unlike me as the front will stall over us for a good period of the night - perhaps into the early hours and its then that the transition "might/could/potentially" take place . I am aware though that this transition is in the balance and as i said last night i full expect my PPN to be off rain for most if not all of the night. This event was ALWAYS going to be so marginal for there to be a massive ruck of snow. Dare say my negativity was right last night - i hope not and there's plenty of time left - although i do fear im going to be proven right.

So much for your promises mate - the rain that i have expected has now been falling for over 40 minutes. 2.9oc.. I did warn you off the Rugeley affect. Lets hope it doesn't rain to much through the day because that really would wreck any accumulation prospects tonight.

Sorry for being so negative - you get used to it living in Rugeley. Lowest lying area for many miles around, a massive power station less than a mile from my house. Too far west when its an easterly wind, to far south when its a northwesterly, hopefully things will be better from the south - i do indeed think that tommorow for ME will be mostly sleet or rain - but hopefully things will be snowy - the PPN band does look like stalling around our area for most of the night as well - good times.

Everyone looking forward to there snow? IM looking forward to the rain personally, well that's the PPN that will fall from my skies. The rest of the week looks cold and boring for our areas whilst all areas around get snowed in again. LOL the west midlands snow avoidance system has clearly been deployed again.

Think its gonna be rain tommorow here and probably a fair few hours of it, if it was snow i think we'd get a good old covering.

06z were dreadful for snow here - still the beeb are going for heavy snow Tuesday through into Wednesday before thing move slowly south during the rest of the week.

Looking forward to loads of rain tonight?

Too right it was but at least the foreacst went into the evening this time, i dont understand why the snow risk would re-ceed as it got further north, if anything the opposite effect should take place.

Much obliged pal - im getting desperate!. I think we're about hmm 85 ASL here so nothing to write home about, although i suppose it could be 8.5M's.

Lucky you no doubt you'll get absolutely pasted and it'll be sleet turning to rain here. SODS LAW.COM

Well things tell me that tommorow shall be very marginal and 8's/10 for Rugeley that means rain or sleet at best. Cannock and etc all areas around are on higher land, thoose areas always get snow when we have rain, not only are we in a valley i live half a mile away from the power station, which has another affect onto pro-ceedings as well. Expecting rain here tommorow.

Hmm tonights foreacst may be very interesting indeed.

What a dissapointment, showers just to the NW again today and xmas eve's PPN will sadly be very much rain for here. Charts look good for a reload into the new year as well though. Next week looks like it'll either be a battle line for rain/snow or a very wet a miserable week for most.

That bad will no doubt skirt slightly to the south east of Birmingham and then a litte further to my east. Sad news is thats the best chance of snowfall we stand before the new year - although there's plenty that can change at the moment.

Absolute legend, you should thank our idiotic chairman for selling him at such a good price - especially considering he came through our ranks. It must be all our good work that's made him the player he is now.

My girlfriend lives in armitage!!. Oh god, not a dingle, and a baglady, ill stay down the bescot thanks. As for the weather,its been absolutely shocking!!.

Alright guys, just signed on but have been a frequent reader in the past. Nice to see so many midlanders around the place. This has to be the most shocking, dissapointing cold spell anti climax in recent history. Thursday showers were just to far to the east, last nights so called "significant snow" event brought 25 minutes of freezing rain & today the showers were literally at one point in toucing distance of my window, but fell slightly to the North and east. Pretty frustrating tbh.
