Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

[locneverstop]

Temp up to 2C DP back up to 0C.

Praying it drops back down a little otherwise I could end up just on the wrong side of things.

[Serendipity]

Moderate snow falling in Evesham

Is it sticking?

Edited to add that it is raining here, quite hard. Doesn't look sleety at the moment.

Now at 2ºc

DP : 0ºc

Very borderline as to what will fall from the sky. I'm guessing more sleet than Washington type snow, although that said, the lower base cloud does look rather odd.

Reports of the temp dropping quickly in Hereford now.

[Herefordweather]

Yep, down half a degree to 1.5oc. I can really see you lot getting dumped on later, to put it bluntly. Just look at Cardiff for example and this is during the worst part of day. Good luck midlanders.

Sleet here.

[phantom]

Very heavey snow now in Northampton.

[locneverstop]

"...leading to treacherous driving conditions where snow settles on roads – this may coincide with the rush hour across the West Midlands, so there is likely to be disruption to road, rail and air travel."

From our very own netweather regarding 5 - 10cm of snow.

Just my luck. I hate working here! Anyone need an accountant?

[Higher Ground]

This could hardly have evolved better the last couple of hours...........

Heavy snow imminent for SW Brum?

[Serendipity]

Just turning to snow here now.

[conor123]

The majority of the charts say no whilst the speed of it moving towards us on the Radar says yes.

Though it being 2c at the moment with everything all damp is a worry.

[locneverstop]

Wow is that a purple echo I see to the south?

Looks like we could see a spell of heavy/very heavy snow here soon enough judging by the radar.

Very heavy snow in Cardiff huge flakes, settling nice.

[locneverstop]

If the band starts heading NE soon, we could have it around for a while...

[Snowmoon]

The flakes are bigger here now and it's started settling.

[Serendipity]

Snowing well here now, big fat flakes.

[Tomomcd]

So I'm thinking a bit further north please and then slowly slide North East

Should be seeing something here anytime soon

When you say things like that, I know things are going to go well very soon

[Higher Ground]

Just spotted first flakes.....

[Hailsowen]

Not even a drop/flake here yet. Snow? What's the worst this snow can do!?

(Doing that so the 'weather gods' will get angry and give me more!)

I think this lot is intensifying. I thought as much about half hour ago with cloud structure that wouldn't look out of place in the Summer prior to a thundery breakdown.

11:00am METO radar shows brighter colours from east Exeter/Hereford/Cheltenham and north. And has got Birmingham written all over it. Shame this isn't during the early hours. But that said, maybe convection is playing a part so...

Sit back and enjoy when it arrives in your local vicinity.

NW V5 Radar would suggest the proper begining of this front is now at around Bromsgrove.
