Id much, much rather have this cold, crisp weather with the possibility of snow than raging mild, endless blowtorch zonal weather like last year! To be fair - I've seen lots of snow'fall' this winter but its just failed to properly SETTLE! It could be worse though, I spent the weekend in Cardiff and they haven't seen ANY snow this winter!
Slushy mess here and now raining . Aren't we supposed to be in a cold spell? I Suppose it could be worse - at least I've seen some snow, I'm off to Cardiff later and they haven't seen a flake all winter again!
Exciting.. Some people/models saying it could go east, some saying over wales, can't it just compromise and smash right into Birmingham & the Black Country?
That Shefali (BBC midlands weather) just advised the region that the snow would 'fizzle out to nothing' on BBC WM. She mentioned a 'feature' but said that at this stage 'we're going for dry'.
hmm.
Ive just been for a meal in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham and It was wet and sleety there, nothing to write home about. Back in Tipton now and its the same here!
Hopefully - Ill be in Cardiff then so Ill definitely miss any snow (and probably the cold too)! I really don't like these 'blink and you'll miss it'/ 'will it, won't it' showery type set-ups, so annoying. Why can't we just get a decent frontal snow setup - we'd all be happy then!
Following this forum in the winter is very much like riding a roller coaster but Ive been following it for many years, I even followed the old BBC weather forums years back and many of the mod thread regulars posted there at the time!!. I very rarely post though - Always been a bit of a lurker!!
I saw this shared on Facebook! I don't think I've ever read such a ramped up story!! They've used the words 'punishing, crippling, frenzied, hell, havoc, chaos, screaming'... Even I hid behind the sofa after reading that!
I'm going to err on the side of caution for this one and keep quiet (and not get my hopes up)! I have promised myself that I will refrain from ramping up the snow possibilities too! Last week I had fellow teachers (and students) bursting into my classroom demanding an explanation as to why they didn't get a snow day!
Hi all,
I'm really not getting my hopes up but it would be a lovely birthday present if we were to get snow on Wednesday I think it was 2004 when I last saw birthday snow, I lived in Cardiff then, right on the coast and we got a good covering!
I'm off to Berlin later today until late Thursday and its looking like ill get one last cheeky snow event whilst I'm there . It is looking cold in the midlands by Friday though?
