The one thing I have noticed about our weather is that is doesn't seem as "good as it used to be" both for thunderstorms in summer and snow in winter. Besides the odd freak weather event. Wonder why that is?
A small sugar dusting of snow in Brownhills around 8pm and looks as though there has been a very slight dusting in Dudley. Wasn't expecting it in either place.
Elevation seems to being playing in this too. Just drove back from dropping my dad back off in Brownhills. From Dudley to around Rushall it was rain then going through Shelfield and Walsall Wood sleet turned progressively to snow once we hit Shire Oak Hill it was all snow and down to the Anchor Bridge...got back to Dudley via Black Country route and there were a few flakes in the air. It all stopped again once I got out the car at home.
Drove home from Wolverhampton into a storm, the rain was the heaviest I have ever experienced whilst driving, to then get home to a little thunderstorm with a couple of flashes.
