Snow Watch: Midlands & C Southern England

[cyclonic happiness]

Do wish they they wouldn't close schools, that just means a load of feral youth running around like maniacs causing all kinds of trouble.

I'm sure that there is more risk to health and saftey by letting the little buggers out!

When I was at school in the eighties, we just used to get on with it.

If the heating went off, we sat in lessons with our coats on, makes me laugh how it is today...my god, that was only 20 years ago!

It personally put a smile on my face seeing how happy they were, running away from school cheering through the snow.

EDIT: Snow coming down heavy now in North Birmingham. Already put a covering on one roof which clearly has its heating on full blast :wacko:

[chin86]

Maybe in a few hours from the main band, not sure yet on how far West it will end up.

i hope that band hit Wolve's... if it does then it ll be an ace...

[stripe]

indeed its been snowing here for over a hour not nothing heavy though also noticed early warning for thursday with regards to another snow event has been removed its now futher north it looks like things are set for milder next week boo

just had a met person on local radio, said the west mids are going to get a thumping this afternoon/tonight

having to enjoy it on my own though, daughter has a hangover, wife at work, and the dog is dead

[Potent Gust]

Started to thaw on roads and pavements here even though it is still snowing! anybody else having this?

[snowhope]

Having our first decent snow of the day.

No Lying snow here yet but it is quite heavy at the moemnt,

Everything crossed that this does not die out

[ISAAC]

i hope that band hit Wolve's... if it does then it ll be an ace...

its most certian now BUT in my likes its too light to make accumulations. Already i can see a slow thaw here and light snow on top just makes that slushy if you know what i mean.

oh well beggers dont become choosers (how can i say that? look at the south-easteners!)

i hope that band hit Wolve's... if it does then it ll be an ace...

You not happy with what we have now lol

It's supposed to get worse within the next three hours, this is just the start

i know you lucky sods and i mean judging by the forecast well its enough to make me cry lol

[andy_leics22]

The band of snow has just reached me in Leicester, it's moving westwards very well, I think Birmingham and surrounding areas will be safe and it will get that far West

[Potent Gust]

Great stuff Andy! How long do you reckon the snow will last?

Chucking it down in south sea. Not something that you can say very often!

Fantastic news! Very overcast here with around 2inches of snow. No thaw at all i dont think becuase temp is -0.9C. I just hope the snow makes it this far west!

[andy_leics22]

I have no real idea but if I go by judging the radar it could be hours, possibly snow on and off till 6pm onwards... It's defanitly moving Westwards quite nicely, you should start to see some PPN in the next half an hour West Midlanders don't worry, this is doing well to hit you within the next hour!
