Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[andy_leics22]

Hey ppl just a quickie go and have a look at the met office radar and have look whats heading in a north-west direction , very errrr red !!

Been a long time since iv saw that outside thundrstorms.

For robs standards on the bbc tonights not the best his ever done . Also barely mentioning the mids just focusing on wales it seems , im not too worried though

Wilmer hows it going mate? *chucks a can of strongbow over*

It`s gonna be one of those evenings then? is it ?? Carling chilled and ready for consumption......

Oh yes mate I have another 6 here ready to be drank B)

Rob Mac not going for a great deal. "heavy snow over the welsh hills"

The graphics as usual gave nothing bar rain for me

I have to agree, To me he focused on the snow event mainly for Wales.

Even though the snow seemed fairly widespread into Glos/Midland's and Wales the impression I got was elevation was the name of the game for snow.

Go steady!, you may go trying to break that leicester snow shield again!!

Not being a killjoy but it`s sleet all the way....... Hence the Carling!

[cyclonic happiness]

The thing doesn't seen to show much sign of slowing down as it spins towards us. let's hope it doesn't spin to far north!! B)

Still not worried about what the bbc are showing, they sometimes say it's dry when it's wet doncha know!

Drowning your sorrows before the disappointment has even begun...poor Andy B)

Meh! but you have pork pies too!!! not fair!!! lol! B)

Nobody else in work then ? I could do with a good drink, but last time I made it in to work, rather worse for wear, (still in my clothes from the night before) my work pals could smell it on me. I had to spray myself with the airfreshener they leave in the bogs to disguise it. Not the best idea, had a few fgunny looks throughput the day.

A sort of nervous excitement is beginning to develop. May we all wake to a good covering. I'll drink to that (in my mind anyway)

Haha yes very funny regarding earlier posts , i did read them an noticed a few other of your ''buddies'' havin a giggle also , i was amused and i read your posts out to a mate of mine lol!! Its all good fun , it was meant to touch a nerve and it obvioulsy worked as you was still rambling on about it an hour later !!

I took it in good humour though thankfully lol

Got 612 in the fridge at work, you need one??

[dvdfjojo]

Oh god, I've been counting down to this day and don't you just know it's gonna get as far north as Birmingham and then just fizzle out and drop again. Our one chance to get some blummin snow when everyone else has had buckets of the stuff over the past fortnight.

I'm working tomorrow (only work 5 minutes away) and I'm going to be radar watching all day.

Hope you all enjoy your drinks and your radar watching tonight - will be back on in the morning, peeking between my fingers at the radar just in case it's all gone to pot. Going to bed with everything crossed!!!!

Wow, that woke me up!! As you said.... expect nothing, receive a miracle!!

Still think it`s gonna be sleet tho!!!

I am but finish at 3pm which is about the time things are due to get interesting for my location.

Better get to bed actually as a half 6 start beckons! Good luck for tomorrow everybody. It may be marginal, but some of the best snowfalls can & do occur in marginal setups.

I know, I know, but my official postcode is Polesworth, Tamworth, Staffs even though we come under North Warks borough council. Tell you what, Warks is so much better, we have our bins collected every week instead of every fortnight, I live on an estate and I have a gritter van come down my personal little road every night - Warks Council are ace!

It's a cool place and quite elevated too - not that that's seeming to make a difference on the snow front. I will have snow tomorrow, I will!!!!!
