It's crazy how marginal this is. Driving the kids to school and on the road maybe 20m higher than my house It's falling as sleet, but rain at my house. Probably snowing on top of the Wrekin...
Met office is mostly snow for me now, the BBC app is still steadfastly saying sleet all day though. It says that for Stoke too though, where the snow is more nailed on, so hopefully it's just wrong.
Eskimo At this point in the winter I'll settle for a decent snow day, even if it's gone the next day. Beggars can't be choosers. Also my office want me to go in on Thursday, it would be nice to have an excuse not to!
It's a right rollercoaster on the met office app, was looking rubbish this morning, then later gave me 2 hours of heavy snow, but quickly switched to heavy rain. Now it's going for sleet all day, which would be better then rain, especially if it's just the right side of marginal to be more snowy than sleety.
winterof79 I think I'll only start getting excited by charts like this when they filter down to the weather apps. BBC currently has me in 5C and heavy rain all day Thursday, despite being in the 10cm zone on that chart. I know they use old data etc, but I'm yet to see a single actual forcast of snow in my location, which is usually a good sign it's not happening. Happy to be wrong though!
Yeah it's weird, nationwide Amber warning, carnage everywhere apparently, and it was just a normal gusty day here, nothing unusual about it at all. Must be in some sort of wind shadow.
Gusty here, but nothing too extreme. Wind events always seem to be a bit meh here, maybe the Wrekin gets in the way? Arwen was the only seriously windy one I remember, and the winds were from an unusual direction with that one.
Woken up to a dusting in Telford, better than nothing! It'll be cold enough that it'll probably stick around for a few days in shady spots, so at least it will look wintery.
Got a bit of icy dust falling here, I wouldn't really call it snow but it's a good sign for if the heaver looking cluster moving onshore makes it down here.
