    I'd just like Roger to have his own thread Forget the others Seriously, Roger is one of my favourite posters and I have learned a lot from him over the past couple of years. But overall, a great idea for a thread. I love reading 'expert' opinion and would like to be able to do so without filtering out 'bickering' etc...

    4.6 here. Feels colder though, probably because of the fog. What a wonderful day weatherwise though - snowflakes the size of dinner plates and now the best fog I've seen for years!!!

    I have now witnessed snowflakes the size of dinner plates LOL!! V. heavy but 'wet' snow here, not sticking. Exciting!!!

    I love the short winter days. It's so cosy, there is nothing better than closing the curtains and getting a good fire blazing at 5pm! Sure, we all leave in the dark/get home in the dark but whether we have GMT/BST/any other variation we still have the same number of daylight hours. Dark mornings/early nights are part of winter and I love it. I also love it when we get into spring and you notice the days getting longer. It's all good!

    This my concern too, I think we are looking at a mild winter TBH.

    I was listening to some trippy Pink Floyd earlier and the radar image was moving in time to the music!! It was fantastic! I need to get a life or something really.

    Yes! You have hit the nail on the head there! That would be an interesting thread theme though wouldn't it? My best/worst weather scenario came to pass in January 2004 when Birmingham was gridlocked due to a rapid drop in temp, freezing rain and snow. I got home from the school run ok, my OH got home from work ok.....but it was my due date and I was terrified that I'd go into labour and not be able to get access to drugs But I was still over the moon at the weather scenario that I was witnessing!

    I was out and about doing the school run during the 2007 event. It was really exciting actually - I've never experienced prolonged, heavy rain like that before or since. IMHO it's as exciting as heavy snow, but then again I love all extreme weather. And watching this baby develop and move in land is fascinating *saddo smilie*

    Yes, been hearing thunder in S.Brum for a while now, seen a bit of lightning too. And the rain is very heavy at the moment. Bring it on weather gods!!!

    No show in birmingham. Too much cloud. I live in the land of no snow, no storms, no heatwaves and now no perseids. Oh well, maybe the leonids in november might be visible..... (not!!!)

    Hi, I think the issue is that Air Traffic Control services are not prepared to provide a service when there are ash clouds about. There's an interesting article about some finnish military jets who flew through the ash on thursday morning, and the damage that was done to them: http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/04/16/340727/pictures-finnish-f-18-engine-check-reveals-effects-of-volcanic.html

    It is FREEZING this afternoon and there's a brisk wind. Saw a nice rainbow though!!

    It always makes me laugh that the sustained heavy PPN never arrives when we have cold temps!!! Was a lovely day today - I am looking forward to spring/summer and thunder storms/heatwaves etc - but a little bit of my heart would like to a final monster-mega snowfall before the daffs come out It's been a great couple of months though on the whole - I hope that they keep the regional threads open all year round!

    It feels tropical out there today!!!
  19. camperstron
    Holy onions, it's coming down fast...and I've got to do the school run in it in a minute! If it carries on it will be a fun rush hour in brum tonight!
  20. camperstron
    I think that we could see some snow today actually. looking at the old radar and feeling how cold it is outside at the moment I would say that midday onwards will deliver some wintry ppn for the midlands. Whether it will settle though is another story!!!
  21. camperstron
    I do I'm afraid! It just feels too warm. Any daytime ppn I feel is likely to fall as rain/sleet.
  22. camperstron
    Dang, I missed the big, beefy flakes!! Still, what a beautiful scene it is out there!!
  23. camperstron
    Poor you and Mrs Gord! Mind you, there is something nice about being tucked up in bed/on the sofa when it's all wintry outside!
  24. camperstron
    I am still here! I've been thinking rather than posting though. I am concerned - since thursday nights fantasy run (which I keep on thinking about and chuckling over!!) I really think that for midweek the scenario for us will be 'liquid phase snow' I reckon that we will get a bit of the white stuff overnight sun - into Mon and that will be it. I hope to be proved wrong, but until I'm buried under a foot or more of snow I am being cautious.

    One of my neighbours was telling me about the winter of '47. He was a boy and his house was on a slight hill. One night they went to bed - there was no snow. They woke up in the morning to a huuuuge amount and the wind had drifted it all the way up the back of the house! For my region we haven't really got anywhere near, actually nowhere near, that level of snow this winter.......yet!
