Midlands Cold Spell Discussion

Snowing here now. Rather light, but it's certainly snow.

[The Wolf]

Snowing here, albeit lightly

Gigantic snow flakes here :lol:

Biggest i've seen in ages, not settling yet but it will later

[Serendipity]

Does anyone have settling snow in the midlands? I think by the time it gets cold enough here for it to settle - ie tonight - the band will have moved from here sadly. We're obviously very borderline as we've had rain, then sleet, then very heavy snow, then sleet, then rain and now sleet again!

[Higher Ground]

OK the serious stuff has been here for a few mins now, with some huge flakes. Barely settling though, could be more marginal lower down than hoped?

where are you?

[Costa Del Fal]

Barely anything here still. Just a few flakes.

Settling on grass and roofs in Hereford now, at 60m ASL, so good news for most of you. Its like a blizzard and trust me, I hate how that word is used to often aswell.

Sleety rain here now M6 junc 2

[locneverstop]

Starting to go dark here now. Looking towards millenium point it looks a bit hazy so I think maybe something is on it's way.

[Higher Ground]

Darker again to south, hopefully bringing heavier snow again as it's gone back to light here. I think even at this elevation it's going to take prolonged heavy snow for it to settle significantly. (Though we have an icy covering left over from yesterday on the grass so showing more signs of starting to settle there at least).

[Costa Del Fal]

Few more flakes falling now.

[Serendipity]

I think with elevation you guys will do well. It's just down here it's a bit crap really *sob*.

[Hailsowen]

Few more flakes falling now.

Just about to say the same. In fact, I'm ready to say it's offically "Light Snow"

[warden]

Odd huge flake of snow in with the sleet

[Nick L]

Done the bulk of my paper round now, a few small flakes blew around in the wind but not much else. Temperature now 2.4c with a dew of -0.2c, so seriously marginal stuff. I am too much of a wuss to look at the radar though! Surely it will reach the extreme south of Staffordshire....

[Higher Ground]

Hmmm the intensity seemed to peak around Evesham/Stratford; and still no sign of eastward movement? Though at least a new trough forming behind first line.

Settling here with no problem at all - getting on for an inch lying now although there was some left over from earlier in the week

[chapmanraven]

Just had a txt to say they have heavy snow in Mkt Harborough, txt back to see if its settling but no reply yet.

[Costa Del Fal]

Still just a few flakes here...Hurry up!

[azores92]

moderate wet snow down here in the flatlands( c. 120m asl), good luck to everyone, here it is a bit of a damp squib really, with fairly light precip with the odd heavier burst.

Just started raining with some sleet mixed in.

Nothing here.

[locneverstop]

Nothing here.

Radar has it still too far south for our areas, I wouldn't worry. DY5 is still in the yellow
