Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[Nabraxas]

We need a good fall of rain to clear the salt off the roads so they can dry and I can drive in a 'spirited' manner again

[Costa Del Fal]

Right now is probably the first time is properly snowed all day with flakes bigger now. Still a very pathetic event. If Tuesday/Wednesday event occurs we would get pasted but it could still change.

[SalopWatcher]

had nothing here all day but looking at the radar could be some prelonged precip later tonight... what it falls as we wait to see...

After two days of ice flows in the severn, today there were none... so its been warmer here today and over last night...

[whitestuff]

Snow falling here as well now, light covering on cars. Hope it keeps going for a bit this time!

If you are a cold lover, whatever you do, DO NOT look at the ECM 12z, it is truly horrific.

[Gord]

Well i reckon thats it. Nothing going to settle tonight now, anything coming on the radar could be sleet or rain. Getting quite slushy outside now.

Bit of a miserable night on the way really. Murky, steady 1-2C temperatures. Areas of rain and sleet.

Bit of an anti-climax. If this is the climax...which it might not be yet...

...I'll decide on that one tomorrow evening!

will be same as UKMO then, expect gfs 00z to trend that way, still snowing now but dosent look like sticking, temp 0.7C

[Costa Del Fal]

Haha it starts snowing decently as soon as my school says it expects to be open tomorrow.

Fresh dusting developing though now.

That mass off snow is in the process of leaving Amsterdam now, but it looks to me like its going to be too far North to affect many parts of the Midlands, hope to be proved wrong though, i am far from an expert but it looks likely to hit some parts i would guess nearer midnight tonight. What falls from it will HOPEFULLY be snow be that remains to be seen.

Good Luck!

Temp remains static at 1.3 deg since 2pm (dp 0.7)

stoke? or b'ham? still snowing here but not that heavy

[drgl]

Still light snow here, road is covered but it looks like wet stuff. What a great cold spell, here's hoping the next one won't be too far away.

How long's it been snowing for? I want to know how long till it gets here, be it rain or snow, what do you think at 260ft

Still nothing here today

[butler_son]

ECM looking lovely - back to the usual winter affair! To be fair, if I were home, I'd be down the beach looking at some of that!

Thank god!....I absolutely detest the cold....snow makes a nice change once a year...bring on the scorching SW's, normality at last!

On & off since about midday, although to look at it you wouldn't think so! Tomorrow is looking like it could be horrible & wet at this rate, such a shame the cold spell had to end but such is life! Bought back some good memories of the early 80's

I don't think there is any sign that we will get to average, let alone above.
