I normally simply class anywhere South of Birmingham City Centre as the South Midlands and the North of it as the North Midlands...lol

Its still going North albeit more Slowly now this area of Snow. Looks like i may just be able to clip it. Still no signs of it going East!

Yep its still going North, just slower. I reckon areas such as Dudley South, South Staffordshire should catch this. :D

Well watching the NW Radar the leading edge of the band is approaching Hereford and not far from my location in WR9, so I agree with the earlier comment - it isn't stalling!

However unless something happens when it arrives I'm not sure I'm going to see much snow probably more sleet as the temp is hovering around 1c here and dewpoint the wrong side of 0c. I'd say 80% of last nights snow has melted here certainly on the hard surfaces although it does remain on the grass.

Good to see GP posting in the thread - any thoughts of what we will get here in Worcs?

Re. Exeter you are right NorthantsSnow you can clearly see the bright echoes in that location and the precip type is pink and green - wonder what's going on down there?! :D

Looks like we may just have to wait..I for one am not staying up! If I have college tomorrow ill be dead as it is!

Phil, you will know wont you..

Are we classed as South or North Midlands?

Central/more south. Nearer to Warwickshire which is theoretically more as south Midlands than not. Only 8 miles south east of Birmingham central so we are more south (ish!).

COME ON SNOW! ROUND THREE!! :D (And make it a bit better this time! :D )

Looking at the 11pm (MO) radar, there could be a glimmer of hope yet.
