Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[Hailsowen]

I've just noticed that the low appears to be about 40 miles futher east than the BBC & co. forecasted, that should have a positive effect on any further snow chances for the mid/south midlands.

[Macey]

Latest radar is pretty immense!

I might faint.

I like the look of my orangey bit heading for my house.

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Please God, please this time

Guess what's back, back again

[Michael Winston]

Still looks like that stuff to the SE will get here and looks like we could get hammered. Road is in a terible state here.

Agreed, Blizzards. Very promising.

Regards.

Mike.

Telford under the bright colour, lovely, send it this way.

How's it going

[andy_leics22]

Right, i'm off to do some weights for a bit, if I come back and that Precip over Northants hasn't reached Leicester i'm going to be angry!

[Summer of 95]

We've got 0.5cm, AGAIN. As soon as it hits that magic figure the snow stops- all these 10cms around us but Shrewsbury- just enough to scrape together a meagre snowball. God this town is a joke. More tonight or I'm off!

[echobase]

And the lampost watching in Melton Mowbray tells me................. it's stopped

Yep! My lampost must be pretty much in tune with yours !! Theres a chance that big lump hitting Northampton might make its way up though.

How was Looger-baroogah when you past through this evening? Hope the roads back to Melton were ok.

[Costa Del Fal]

Agreed, Blizzards. Very promising.

Regards.

Mike.

And with some 10cm here now i wouldent even bother driving or anything etc tomorrow!

[snowmadchrisuk]

Come on Leicester Peeps It is so close ........

How's it going

Yes ive been humming whether to say anything for the past 15 minutes as everytime i do it stops though its easing off again now so its safe to post i guess, but yes had heavy snow from 20:30 - 20:45 here in Telford, about 0.5cm-1cm on surfaces at the moment.

[Supercell]

Snow getting going in Northants yet ? Not too far away from me now.

[SalopWatcher]

on the last radar looks like its funeling shrewsbury between two heavier bands.... thus very slow falling snow....

as others have said can we beat the dusting

[cyclonic happiness]

Come on Leicester Peeps It is so close ........

Blisworth Northampton.

Couldn't agree more Blizzards.

Reagrds,

well the weird thing is meto and all other radars have it vanishing aswell. maybe its not a glitch? anyone else under a place where it supposedly vanished got any update on whether its still snowing?

We have had a steady but unexciting snowfall in the last 1 and half hours but the 20.00 and 20.15 radar pics showed the clouds near B'ham disappearing before reappearing at 20.30. Technical issue?

[Hailsowen]

11 hours of constant snow... come on, almost a half a day of snow falling!

[Mark Griffin]

The radar is definitely playing up.. its showing snow over rugby but its not atall

[conor123]

I should never of posted, it's stopping now...

[frozencamel]

Just for info still snowing in Nottingham NG5 and has been for a while. Radar doesn't show much though

[cyclonic happiness]

coming down in big flakes now, biggest of the night.

[snowmadchrisuk]

ay up matey how far is Coventry from you? on that picture. it's hard to tell?

About 15 Miles I think , The M69 is one of the uk's shortest motorways , I'm one side of it Coventry is the other.
