Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

Well I think the met office warning for Bucks is a bit of a waste of time. Here in the south of the county I'm technically in the South East rather than the Midlands though... It's been sleeting fairly heavily for hours, temp is 2c and the precip will have moved through before long! Unless I'm missing something I don't think there will be much if any snow in Bucks.

Lol hardly anything left of it now.

Yet another non event

is it snowing any where yet or is it raining let down again

[snowmadchrisuk]

Can't win ... The rain has finally moved into the East midlands and the heavy stuff is dying out and changing to light blues so drizzle all the way then : )

[kar999]

Raining here again and temperatures and dewpoints still miles too high. It's dark now which may help them to fall but they have a heck of a way to go and it needs the PPN to stall.

The shovel has gone back in the shed and I'll call this result Wales 1 England 0

There's a slight chance it might go to extra time ... if it goes to penalties we all know England is doomed!

Its raining and 2.6c dew point 3c!! can that be right anyone!

[Costa Del Fal]

This is a big Joke. Many forecasters are going to get it so bad now at this rate. Im close to giving up at the moment.

Sooo disappointing up to now! been staring out the window & going out on & off all day waiting.......... yawn . My son came home for Christmas & has gone back to Cornwall a day early to get back because of the promised stuff so it could at least happen soon.

To be fair BBC downgraded the Midlands to rain/sleet with the snow only on Welsh Hills at 10:45PM last night if I recall correctly.

[john mac]

you should move to the south east :lol:

[camperstron]

We have rain in south birmingham - grrrrrr!!

i guess that shows you should never get excited at the prospect of snow, until it starts falling. it was until yesterday morning when everything looked perfect for snow, and now the dewpoints are too high, the precip is fading. its all gone pete tong again for the snow starved midlanders. look on the bright side, at least its staying cold for the foreseeable. :lol:

[tom_f123]

Did warn people that it was starting to weaken over an hour ago, really cant see much if ANY snow now unfortunately.

[Crimson_Sprite]

The sky is wee-ing hard here in lovely Nottingham (surprise-surprise) but to cheer everyone up a it with some random hope- has anyone noticed the potential for Thurs/Fri yet? Its not looking heavy, but at least its snow? Something else to place our hopes and dreams into?

[kar999]

On the Shrops border west of Pattingham

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

my goodness that band is really weakening as it moves north.

Still flash warnings in place for midlands etc so maybe the meto expect the band to really pep up soon?

[Mark Bayley]

Has anyone actually seen any snow All i have is drizzle at 3.2c and im quite a bit north from you lot. In fact the only snow i have seen reported was from Buxton. Will go and check the Wales thread! Perhaps it turning more wintry for you guys later on tonight

I think it means it's gone t*ts up, chris!

[snowmadchrisuk]

There is a chance it may pep up in a bit as it stalls, thats what happened to the first front south of Manchester this morning.

I save my excitement until it falls as snow but i at least expected something not the lightest rain possible.
