Strange goings on here. Sleet never really turned to snow in Wordsley and if anything hurt our small accumlation a little. Just been up to Brierly hill about a mile away and very heavy snow fell there with a good accumlation. Ah well, thats what you get for living slightly lower down.

Thats our lot for tonight i take it then?

Looks like it, no showers following on behind that look to hit the West Midlands.

You should get some beasts in a bit, then it will die off a bit before stopping completely.

Yeah, i have been unlucky. Even up by the centre of Wordsley the snow has been topped up. It seems to be just this little area around the Glass Cone that has missed out. Great scenes up in Brierley Hill though. We had this same problem last February. I seem to live in a little warm dip!

well it looks like GFS was spot on today, its been showing ppn for 4 or 5 days now and temps between 0 and -1 and thats :clap::( what we got here so no complaints,

snowing hard on cold ground. 850s always looked a bit marginal but at 160mtrs als with cold surface temps this was always a good bet for here.

would be nice if there were some oranges and reds would have got an inch by now but still falling nicely :wallbash:

heaviest snow weve had so far now.

quite annoyed with the 1.1c temperature, i guess would have been more on the ground if it were around 0c.

WOW Chucking it down now!

On a sidenote, it is amusing to read the "best rated" comments on the Daily Mail site. Some of the people on there are absolute morons. Take a look at this one for example...

I am 58 yrs old, and during my life the UK weather has consistently gotten colder. The long hot summers of my youth are now a distant memory, and we are lucky to get a couple of warm weeks of a summer. Cold miserable weather, with lots of rain, is now the norm.

Global Waming, my backside! Just another scam to tax us to death, and for companies and govenments to make money at the public's expense.

If any of them were remotely serious about doing something about perceived cliamte change, they would just have swapped e-mails instead of all descending on Copenhagen in their private planes.

:wallbash:

Three washout summers in a row, heavy snow and freezing temperatures twice this year and not just in the UK. Now I would call that 'climate' rather than 'weather'.

Thank goodness for 'Global Warming' I say otherwise we might be in a full blown ice age by now!

:wallbash:

If you fancy a laugh, take a look at the comments:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1237951/Temperatures-plunge-16C-Arctic-weather-causes-Christmas-getaway-chaos.html

The more sensible ones are "worst rated".
