dying out now in birmingham city centre

[Barometer Obama]

Fascinating. Just had a nose at a few weather stations. Its currently 8C here on the S coast, but in places like Gloucs, Bucks and Oxf its zero. 8 degree difference to places that I could drive to in an hour or 2!

[SnowJoke]

Continuous rainfall here for hours and hours. Not holding high hopes for any snow.

Thats really odd, been snowing here since just after 7pm, I allways thought aylesbury was higher up than milton keynes too :lol:

Its rain here or sleet at best at 0.5c whats going on snow all to the west and south east ?

8.30pm it was moderate snow

[loopydreamer]

Do you have settling snow there , 25 miles east of me

[CattleBat]

We have got about 2-3cms where I am in Redditch. It's weird, as the snow is coming down, but there is water dripping off my roof. It's as though it is thawing as quick as it is settling. It's getting a bit breezy too.

*off topic* @Phull - You didn't used to be an art teacher in Kettering did you? (My old art teacher was called Peter Hull and he was a wonderful man).

Sorry folks, back on topic again. Kettering and Northamptonshire generally always used to do well for snow, especially in the 80's. I don't think I have ever experienced the same sized dollops of snow since I moved away 20 years ago! :lol:

Haha, no nee dto envy us though. It just means the rain is much colder!

[tom_f123]

Seems to be dying out now towards the west so 1-2 hours max left for the west mids i'd say.

Slowed down abit here now i'd say we have about 3-4cm

[Potent Gust]

Finally, finally starting to stick on pavements and road. Just a shame Nick has gone to bed :lol:

[Frank]

Wind is howling and still pretty heavy snow falling

Still had 3 inches of lying snow after todays slow melt, thats before it even started snowing this evening. Coming on for 2 inches of fresh snow at the minute thats settled on all surfaces including roads and pavements. Still falling heavily at the minute :lol:

No I am still lurking! :lol:

Can't resist the temptation :lol:

Don't think it is settling that great yet, but I can definitely make out a small snow drift in the back garden! Now I am definitely off, as I don't think I will be having a snow day tomorrow!

Places I COULD drive to. Work tomorrow in Pompey and i've apparently demolished 3 cans of london pride while dreaming about living north of the M4.
