    theres a song by the hives.... hate to say i told ya so! just tke things as they come with snow. its very hard to pinpoint accuracy and pick up embedded troughs in the easterly. just wait and see.
  2. azores92
    no of course not, and it would be amazing to wake up to inches upon inches of snow but this is britain, and more specifically this is the midlands; the land of no weather!

    you know it will soon enough! come on people we have been in this trap far too often...

    its a week away= no chance!

    True, but then you'd be sick of the sight of it, so for it to be rare just makes it that bit more special. i can tell you after a week of persistant snow and getting effectively stranded in the austrian alps you get sick of it after a while.

    only one thing is for sure, it wont snow in telford

    the sensation one gets walking on hot coals with bare feet

    yep we all know what tends to happen is that itll stay light and patchy, and struggle to make it north of the channel

    coming down from the midlands for the qpr game. up to around 10mm of rain forecast, hopefully this doesnt tip the balance in terms of calling the game off today.

    you have to feel for GP, puts a lot of time and effort into his forecast and december thus far has been a complete write off for most! the atlantic and polar vortex has been far too strong, with a very unsettled month all in all. hopefully with the traditional run-out-of-steam that occurs in late jan or early feb, we will get our chance at some snow.

    think he means autumnal weather

    yeah mark, you are quite keen on the m*dern winter. it was just a phrase coined by ian brown that really has questionable substance, as the last few years have shown, there is a lot of fluctuation in our climate over the winter months, and things change year by year.

    have to concur with my fellow stourbridgians here. was a very snowy event in december 2010, a good 20-25cm fall round these parts with everything having to shut down. i remember the derby game with wolves was called off and rightly so. kinda wish theyd do the same with the boxing day game in london now, as it's gonna be carnage!

    optimism mark, plenty of time yet for things to change

    i know, a real near death experience i feel! the roads down wassell grove way(dont know if you are familiar with the area) are a death trap in the cold weather.

    driving up to birmingham on the country roads yesterday morning was a dreadful mistake. on the junction near hagley golf course was an awful black ice patch which obviously went unnoticed by me. i tried to brake leading up to the junction but obviously couldnt stop. put the handbrake on in panic and went straight out into the junction. thank god nothing was coming as i wouldve crashed or worse still lost my life. take extra care on those ungritted roads.

    expect mild, be pleasently surprised when it turns cold. never trust any cold weather beyond 72 let alone 100 hours imo, the dreaded shortwave can appear from nowhere! we have to accept we live in such a location that the atlantic can strike at anytime, not like further south and east, where the continent can bask in a heatwave or wade their way through feet of snow. gawsh christmastime in an alpine village must be magical.

    dont think it ever looked overly promising. as usual, the models got carried away but it takes a strong eastery with embedded troughs for the snow to reach here. just a very chilly week in prospect.
  19. azores92
    agree totally, 9/10 this will happen with easterlies. we live on an island where our prevailing wind direction is south westerly, and we are on the edge of the atlantic; the source of mildness. we have to accept this is almost certainly going to be the case, and not get our hopes up!

    42mm of rainfall recorded in stourbridge town here today. unsurprising really, was a large swathe of puddles travelling to kidderminster earlier. tomorrow is touch and go, potential for further rainfall though i suspect not nearly as much.
  21. azores92
    had almost an inch so far here since midnight, very wet indeed!
  22. azores92
    yup, had pretty much next to nowt here.
  23. azores92
    amber warning for the midlands, although most of the action is happening in the north of our patch and up to manchester. may escape? fingers crossed
  24. azores92
    cant believe only 53mm of rain has been recorded here, feels more like 100!
  25. azores92
    50? shrewsbury is about 25-30 miles further north latitudewise than brum so surely not that much.
