Haha I know :lol: It can't be PPN though otherwise it would be snowing, 0.3c and -2.1c dew point is garauntee'd snow. Pothole central lmao, thats what ridiculously freezing temps do for ya :rolleyes:

The pot holes are horrendous....My road has a huge one...In fact this morning my house was 302ft above sea level...by the time I got home from work, it was only 282ft above sea level...lol

3-5cm for Ibstock too Andy? We still have a good few cm's out in the fields surrounding the village after yesterday's freak snow event so another top up would be good. I'm getting quietly optimistic!

Yes probably mate. It's all going to come down to PPN amounts rather than if it will be sleet or snow. It will fall as snow without a shadow of a doubt. By the way... You ever been Braunstone chippy before? I have just got my dinner for tonight from there :rolleyes: Fernhurst is an ice rink, about fell over!

Well i'm not getting my hopes up until the snow passes Worcester.

From there, it could choose the quick M5 or the scenic A450!

My thermometer is dead on 0C at the moment (I don't know the DP but i assume its below 0C)...so maybe even here in the Wordsley rain bowl it could fall as snow!

Like a London Midland Station destination board though, the time of arrival is open to question.

You sure? Here in Nuneaton Ive checked and Im still seeing the exceedingly tiny snow if I turn on the security light in the back garden. I cant see it by the lamppost out the front. But when it is lit up by the security light I can see that some of it is blowing around like snow, so I am going to call it snow.

Been there once ot twice but not that often, my Mother in-law cooks better food! ;-) Fernhurst is always hazardous when the white stuff hits, Braunstone Town doesn't know what a gritter truck looks like!! I'm back your way Thursday night, probably be slush by then!!

Haha yeh I don't go chippy much, maybe once a week at the most but usually just cook myself. Got no food in tonight though and I couldn't be bothered to wait for a bus to go Asda, flippin baltic out there. By Thursday I imagine it will mostly be melted :whistling:

and yes... The gritter people don't even know Braunstone Town exists :good:

The precipitation is losing intensity very quickly now as it moves inland isn't it? Still hoping for a covering here but don't think I dare hope for more!
