showers puffin up in north east into one big band and moving inland

[Nick L]

I really do hope these showers can hold together, otherwise it will be annoying cloud that bumps the temp up! But they seem to be holding together so far.

Long way till Stoke tho mate!! They have been vanishing off the radar like lemmings off a cliff!!!

Time for another carling...

A mammouth front heading the UK's way on Tuesday according to the BBC radar run...

Surely the UK's established cold can't withstand that? If it does there could be a gargantuan and exceptionally rare snow event, or of course, the front somehow gets defected before it reaches our shores?

no way basnowdon,that won,t make it!

Pleasant in the shorter term !!! Bit of a top up before the main event??

If the showers hold together (they are starting to decay somewhat now) then we could get another cm or two. We will almost certainly get a top up over the weekend though! My school is open tomorrow, they claim to have cleared and gritted all the paths now, will have to see how true that is though!

Yeah that charts for tomorrow so should top the side roads up!!! One thing I noticed today is that Coleshill probably have near on twice as much snow as us Nick and around Lichfield there only seemed a few cm at best I just hope that this weekend we all get a good dumping and I dare say that the majority of us will have our faces pressed up the window looking at the street lights like some kind of strange fraggles lol. My missus at our old house used to just tell me to sit down when I kept looking out the window so I found myself making up all sorts of excuses to nip upstairs to gawp out the window lol. There was a few occasions when I even did the washing up so I could look out the window without her whinging I,m 20 times worse in the summer when it comes to storms though always on the net looking at the radars and popping outside listening for distant rumbles lol. I need to get out more

Storms in the summer don`t bother me, it`s only ppn through the winter that keeps me interested.

Only last night my wife had a slight, shall we say brief, FULL ON PADDY over my radar viewing!!

Tonight, with no snow on the horizon she has left me to chat and gone to bed early!!

And the Fraggle bit made me p*** myself!!

Theres no other way to describe it lol. looking out the window being careful not to get to close as to steam the glass up or the missus whinges again when you wipe a gap to see through. The amount of times I,ve been told"you can clean them f****** windows tomorrow lol. What a strange sight we must be to the outside world as they walk by seing us licking the window whilst squinting to see the tiniest hint of a snow flake in the light of the nearest lamppost I think the new term for looking at lampposts should be called Fraggling

looking the best time now for the Midlands in terms of snowfall!!!

BBC have said 2-5cms tomorrow am in some parts of the high ground and then the snow event on Sunday.....

btw - who saw the pics earlier on mids today of the snow in Shropshire in 1982!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeezzzzzz------cars completely covered by drifts......that was some snowfall - makes now look like a dusting lol.

Its actually quite weird at the moment - Shropshire and North Staffs (excluding Derbyshire peaks!!!) are usually the snowiest counties in the Mids.......with places like Worcs and Gloucestershire often getting rain but on this occasion the south mids has faired better due to the type of conditions.

Well im not sure my love for WFC is liking this love for snow - although WFC wins most of the time so i think it can handle a little time away for once. Although 4 games in a row does take the mickey a tad, with a 5th looking likely to be called off for tuesday night as well. -8 here btw already. Hoping thoose showers can stick together as we could see another dusting, although it is the nature of showers for coverings to be either localised or only scattered and not on a widespread scale, noticed how rob's forecast graphics showed some PPN moving south from northern england during friday evening as well, hopefully a few more flurries there. Sunday then looks llike being the main event, although very sceptical atm on PPN amounts and certainly how far north the snow will be. Looks like an interesting weekend though and next week shows more snow possibilites too.

Message to NICK the baggies fan - good luck for the game tommorow. Always had a soft spot for the albion and would much rather you were in the top division then thoose dirty in-bred dingles!

As we're talking about football matches, AFC Bournemouth (us lot) have had their match called off against Rotherham by Sheffield City Council! I wasn't going to trek up to Rotherham anyway, but it's one less thing to distract me from revision this weekend...
