IT'S NOW SNOWING IN CENTRAL BIRMINGHAM :D

Congrats.

Hope it heads eastwards into Leicester. Though judging by the radar track the heavy stuff looks set to go just south of us.. as always.

I'll tell you what the shortwave will do......rain. That's if we even get the precipitation in the first place- going by previous encounters that'll be 90% of the battle in itself

stop!! you'll have me slashing my ankles with a blunt knife in a minute!

[tom_f123]

Still light wet snow falling here, starting to give a 'sugar dusting' on roofs and pavements.

Conditions are right here now for snow, only problem being the lack of intensity in the precipitation.

[weather_it_will]

Sleet here in Banbury for last hour.

YUP, it's snowing in birmingham. I tried to post it 15 min ago but couldn't access this thread, Initially granular ( I did go out) but large flakes at present!

[PolarWarsaw]

Too far north here by only a few miles. No ppn to the west or north. IN otherwords its game over.

[Cheshire Freeze]

stop!! you'll have me slashing my ankles with a blunt knife in a minute!

Well.....Does my head in

[matt_in_dudley]

Nothing but drizzley rain here from what i've seen in the last hour, cold out though!

[BlueHedgehog074]

Wet light white flakes of shiny snow now falling.

[Arnie Pie]

Yes can confirm Snow in Brum

[smethwickgg102]

Difficult to tell if it's drizzle or very fine snow here at present, may have to pop outside and have a closer look

[fizz511]

Temps dropped to around 1c here according to my met office app (really must ask Santa for a weather station for Christmas), and the rain sounds a bit more sleety against the window.

Think I'll give it another half an hour if it's snowing in brum now to see if it comes over this way.

Just need some matchsticks to prop my eyes open.....

[A.J]

well, well, it's actually snowing here, very light, but definite flakes of snow

[Adzyy]

Sleeting (just about) here in Rugby, more flakes than raindrops though.

[Arctic Hare]

Light rain (just rain) and 1.7 °C. The temperature has barely budged in an hour, and the rain is getting lighter and lighter. I think I'm going to call it a night; good luck to everyone else, and great to hear Brum is getting some snow.

[stewfox]

I've never seen such consistant sleet in my life. 2 hours now it's been like it, lots of flakes floating around and rain tearing through them.

Sleet/rain here for 2hrs just needs a push, its still moderate stuff.

[kmanmx]

Much warmer here than it is for you guys. 2.6C and 2.0C Wet bulb, 1.1C Dew Point

[tom_f123]

Well thats me off to bed. The light wet snow we did have here has stopped, looks like the predicted intensity of this system was way over estimated.

[dewei]

Still snowing here. Light to moderate still rather wet at times. No snow has settled yet. Going to bed now.

[Polar Low]

Well thats me off to bed. The light wet snow we did have here has stopped, looks like the predicted intensity of this system was way over estimated.

As the low continues to deep, the band will intensify further over the next few hours.

[PolarWarsaw]

It certainly needs to and it needs to keep pivoting and not move further south to give a chance of any snow here. Sadly i dont forsee it.

[Snowy Easterly]

Still just plain old rain here, but any snow i get is forecast for after 4am

[Cheshire Freeze]

Any reports from Stoke? Radar depicts precipitation and looking at the Hanley cam the street s looks as though there has been a very light covering?? Anyone corroborate?
