Is it settling in Reddich ?

yep its settling in our road! not sure if it will quite be settling on the main roads tho! its fantastic! nd still snowing nice big flakes!

It's not really settling here although there's a slight slushy covering on the car.

Moderate snow here in birmingham, turning heavier now

[Costa Del Fal]

Where in Stourbridge are you? I still have sleet/rain ahhh lol

Im actually just outside of the Stourbridge area and very near to Merry Hill. Havent seen gritters yet. Its going to get very interesting this!

VERY heavy snow here in south west birmingham 154M ASL

[A.J]

My worry for me mark_f & Nick near stafford, is that the the heavier ppn is splitting off to the west & east of us, creating the potential for drizzle/slizzle as opposed to proper snow...I'm on tender hooks again, eyes on lamp post..lol

[Nabraxas]

Think my weather station has had a bit of a wobbly... apparently 2.6c with a Dew Point of -9 Haha.

[Koppite]

Settling here, light covering, still heavy snow.

The heavy band is getting thinner as it nears us on the Metoffice radar- the rain has stopped for now, heavy snow in Birmingham/Worcs I see- what has Shropshire done to deserve this??????????????????

[Lukey]

My Girlfriend has just got outta work in Sandwell, NW Birmingham and she reports snow there. Nothing here in Sutton Coldfield YET

EDIT, Just started to snow here!

Good to hear. Whats the temperature and dew point there?

Sorry Isaac I have no idea I don't have a working weather station I only have the car and that shows 0c?! Its very wet snow but has covered everything you guys further north in the WM should do fine with this!

This is the first snow since Feb here. Had rain on Sat night when further north it was snow. It has been white over with frost and ice the last few days and in all honesty I didn't hold out much hope today after the ice melted and everywhere was wet and thawing out.

Just fired up the laptop as my last message was written on my ipod so I can contribute fully now - the mob version of NW doesn't show people's locations. Got one eye on this forum and the other on the lampost!

Still falling nicely

[Fatbird]

Snow now, no longer sleet. I have no idea of temp but I do know I'm quite high up at 178m asl.

I hope it stays a while, kids are getting excited!

yep heavy snow still falling here and settling! isn't it just great?

[Costa Del Fal]

Are those in Worcs having big flakes? Just normal sized here at the moment.

[cyclonic happiness]

Poor things having a nervous breakdown....

I'm getting 1.1c then 1.3c then 1.1c again.

[cyclonic happiness]

Mr Blobby sized chunks starting to come down with the rain, what a treat indeed!

[Soma]

Some big flakes yes not the biggest I've seen more like when they stick together.

Those worried about seeing only rain - that's exactlywhat happened here, literally just rain not sleet or even "wintry mix" but pure and simple bloody rain, be patient it will turn

[loopydreamer]

the flakes were enormous about an hour ago! now ther are still thick thick flakes but not as gigantic as before. the snow is still coming down heavy and fast here! bbc news have just reported that there is now heavy snow in worcestershire

[drgl]

Snowing here in Telford, very light but SNOW!!!!

[andy_leics22]

Snow? What is snow? it's pure rain here

[Koppite]

Pretty big, still throwing it down, a covering of approx 1cm depth at present.

If its snowing in Birmingham with temps of 1C then I can't wait till the heavier precip hits my region as its still -1C. Have you see the showers that follow the band of precip on the right flank!!
