Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[Cornflake Girl]

South West, Wales and a small portion of the west midlands look like getting a bit of a pasting. Shame it hasn't got any chance at all of reaching this far. On to the next battleground...

I know, I'm strange. But it's been 2 and a half weeks and I would rather be paid...

Light snow falling in Hereford. Huge flakes.

[Higher Ground]

Snow starting to look like it means business now, the kind that brings drifting, weighed-down trees and all....... Wonder how long it will continue?!?!

strong words. i wouldnt rule out anything in this situation, things can dramatically change at the last minute.

dry here for the last hour

[Gord]

Holes appearing in the snow cover in the garden. Its getting increasingly slushy and looking at the radar, we'll have lost our snow cover by morning the way this is going.

Need some very heavy snow to save it now!

However...almost 6 days of snowcover...thats pretty good!

[Potent Gust]

Light snow here, slight dusting again at the moment.

2 and a half weeks off because of the snow...blimey. I can understand. Hope you have a safe journey tomorrow. No matter how much it snowed I'd be expcted to walk to work. Only about three miles away

[Costa Del Fal]

Looks like it could get interesting for a time-for most of the night hopefully!

[fedmog]

Been snowin quite hard here in Buxton, severe drifting on the A6 to Buxton, bout an inch or so since this afternoon. temp -0.6c

[Snowyowl9]

If it reaches here, i will be gobsmacked.

You`ve got tonights snow aswell yet which is mass building now and heading west.

Although it is getting a bit of a march on. Soon be over for me. Would be intresting to see how the Leics/Notts contingent are getting on as the eastern extent is heavier.

The way the models have performed recently then you'd be a fool to write it off just yet ! On the countryfile forecast it was mentioned that the band would just stop and sit there before being stretched and veering off into two opposite directions. I think at least 12 hours maybe even 6 hours before the event before we know for sure mate. If the precip is heavy enough then im sure that the cold already in situ coupled with evap cooling would ensure that somewhere gets a pasting if it can make it?

Im hoping it hits here though on present track its just the very light stuff heading here, im still hoping to wake up and find ive got the day off college though

[kar999]

A strange mixture of light snow grains, rain and sleet and the only sounds are those of the chunks of soggy snow slipping from the branches in a slow thaw.

[Hailsowen]

I'd say that the band of precip I pointed out earler will get to us in Halesowen and Stourbridge in about an hour, and will last just shy of an hour.

[Gord]

It is falling as mainly snow here now. But can't see how anything will settle tonight. Everything is very wet and temperatures wont get below freezing.

[GreatBarr]

Im praying the snow reaches me on Tues/Wed in North Birmingham its gunna be a close one.. I dont expect it too though.

You are right these events are often eventual nowcasts, no certainities until T0. Just a gut feeling I have.

[Costa Del Fal]

I think the snow is trying to settle here now.

Good stuff. I'm much lower down than you though, so going to be more difficult for it to settle here.

Your a bit higher than me though. Should all improve soon enough.

Wales forecast was rather scary to be honest a chance of upto 4inches coming from that lot in the east,I could spare some of the first lot of snow here for you.lol.

Aswell as the next major snow event tuesday into wednesday. :lol:
