[Phil UK]

i am seconds away from giving up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i knew it ws over for us here from the start.

Cheer up, ISSAC.

I'm only about 8 or so miles south of Birmingham city centre and the snow here has become quite intense and the flakes are becoming thicker.

Phil.

Right that's me done (lightweight I know!) Still coming down well, so going to hit the sack on a high note! Night all hope you all get some - you've waited long enough!

No it's still on course for a severe event for the Midlands, when I say severe I mean 2-5 inches possible by daylight. The heaviest of the band of snow is about 40 miles south of where the radar is showing it. It's not just stalled and fizzled out and not going to turn up.. It's just going to arrive a bit later than the radars show it, so probably heavy snow into Birmingham within the next half an hour.

Snowing now in Tipton, very light but snowing all the same

[Mikel Nimbus]

Sorry to hear it's not going too well for you guys. It really is chucking it down here so if/when yo get it you shouldn't be dissapointed.

[tom_f123]

[wellington boot]

snow falling heavily in oxford, probably 2 inches on the ground now, and a heavy band on the veryge of reaching us, moving very slowly. Good for now. Hoping it will all fall before daybreak, or else for a miracle, whereby we get snow all day...

[snowmadchrisuk]
