PS. Any tips for where I can look if I want to geek out by seeing old charts of snow events I have lodged in my memory from the 1990-1996 period? For a starter, the December 1990 (I think) event that left me snowed in in Nuneaton with a battery radio for company. Doesnt even have to be charts, can just be anectodes or descriptions of the event and what weather setup caused it.

I just drove home from Redditch, and it took me 1.5 hours (15 miles)! The snowflakes were mahooooooosive, as in the palm of your hand size! We've got a couple of cm's at most. My friend was forced into a ditch in front of me when a car lost it's back end coming from the other direction. He had to swerve to avoid them and went into a tree, allbeit at slow speed fortunately. The other driver didn't even stop! Be careful out there if your driving people, lots of carefree idiots out there.Oh, and the METO got this completely wrong again.
-
I reckon I might get a centimetre here! Council hasn't gritted the road by the looks of it either, so they'll get a slating no doubt!
-
Woohoo, bigger flakes! I'm such a child, lol!
-
It's been very light snow uptil now. It seems to be getting heavier and slightly larger flakes. Not under the main band yet though. Keeping fingers crossed for those BIG flakes!

Just started snowing

For those having snow/sleet, what are your temps and dp's?
-
The rate of temp increase has reduced a lot in the last half hour. It was 0.38per hour, it's now 0.019per hour. At this rate of change, the temp should begin to drop again pretty soon (currently 0.1oc). I just need the dp to drop another degree lower (currently -1.5oc) and I should be set for anything that does arrive.
-
It's like a weather forcefield that redirects the snow everywhere else but here. To use a phrase from my generation, `this sucks man!' Please Jeebus, let it snow!
-
Hmm, temp is now 0.1, dp -1.6. Both are rising and have been for the last couple of hours. How long will it take for this milder air to sod off to the east?
-
And the news coverage will be of London, and the east/south east...again...
-
Any chance of the Cheshire gap happening do you think?
-
The colder air is starting to come through now. I'm following this little website for my area:
-
Currently -3.3°C and falling here. Hopefully this will keep us cold enough for tomorrow.
-
Woohoo, we're back! I've just seen Rob's latest forecast, he rocks!
-
Surprise surprise, it's the east and south east that get it again. Bring back december 1990 I say!
-
For some reason, I get the impression that there may be some snow due?
Can someone bring me upto date, as in what amount, where and when? Thank thee fellow rampers!
-
Light snow falling here now. I'm not holding my breath for anything decent tonight though.
-
We have sod all wind here either. So far this is turning out to be another disappointing event. So much for a winter storm for me anyway.
-
Heavy snow here. The Metoffice got this one very wrong IMO.
-
I've got a good feeling about this one too - I reckon it'll reach as far north as staffs/derbyshire border before really turning east so I reckon Birmingham and just north will see a good few hours of snow from 2am onwards. It's still got a northward movement so far, I can't see it changing direction so suddenly, despite all the forecasts.
I reckon 3-4 inches for us here in Tamworth. Haven't been too optimistic on previous nights despite the positive forecasts but I think it'll go further north than expected tonight. Tonight I think we'll get a decent amount of snow.
I hope you're right! I can see quite a few people being surpised when they wake up this morning! Speaking of which, I'm off to sleep too. Enjoy the snow all

This looks pretty deep to me, and maybe closed?

Basically the people on the hill and the surrounding hills can expect approx. 30cm over the next few hours. Watch News 24 as they are talking about it now.

I'm actually quite hopefull with this one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the system will stall over us for a few hours at some point as well. We just need a good frost to set in overnight and we should be set for the big one! Redditch should see a good inch or two I would think. Has anyone seen my ramp?
