Settling in Birmingham

[marksp]

First few tiny flakes falling in Chesterfield

wait till it really gets going, i think were in a great spot.

[A.J]

I am calm, I was only saying. Perhaps the tone may have come across wrong -

Light snow with small flakes still falling.

PS has anyone looked into next week for a couple of batteground events?

glad to hear it...

....moving on, yes some real potential for more battleground scenarios in the short/medium term

Is this in the town centre? No snow here yet, but I'm four miles east of Chesterfield itself.

[Gord]

These reports of falling temperatures and dew points to the east of here are really encouraging. The cold air really is going to put up a fight. Someone east of Birmingham is going to have an amazing afternoon and evening I think!

[Snowcheeks]

Very light snow just started in Derby

[ianbillmorris]

Static Prevails, yes, im Granny sitting across from the Queens Park, so very town center.

[BLOWERS]

Very light snow started 2.15pm Chilwell, just SW of Nottingham. I'll be amazed if we get more than 0.25" here - we never do!

Ah, I'm in Inkersall, the odd flake is falling here now.

Hopefully it won't turn to rain here, but we'll see.

[Bishop Brennan]

That's more like it..............snowing now in Knowle, very light but already sticking to the bone dry ground. Windy as well.

Snowing in Polesworth now - YAY!

[PolarWarsaw]

Slight increase in flake 'gurth' now.. If we can get the heavier PPN before the change to sleet and rain there might be some pictures to be had before its gone.

[FreezeManiac]

Light to moderate snow here sticking easily

[weather_it_will]

Just started snowing in Banbury.

[Static Prevails]

Snowing now. Very small flakes but it's settling on the bus stop.

What a lovely negative frame of mind you're in today!!!!

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Is there any chance we could get away with an all snow event? Been all snow here so far, though mostly light its sticking quite well with most surfaces coated white. Going to have to carry on for alot longer though and have to get heavier to bury the grass!

[stripe]

light snow on grass/paths south west of brum, suprised its -1 here thought it would be a tad warmer this time of day........not enough snow to see kids playing yet,,,or is this the xbox generation.

[FreezeManiac]

Picking up in intensity lookiing good!!!

[Bishop Brennan]

Light flakes turning a tad heavier now. Temp has dropped to -0.7, DP up slightly to -6.4 (but still colder than it was a couple of hours ago).

Good point....looking at the radar, the moment of truth for us in the west midlands is not too far away....A band of much more intense PPN is approaching from the WNW....if this arrives as snow that we're good to go, if not and it's rain/sleet then I would imagine that that is the permanent change over with no going back

[PolarWarsaw]

What a lovely negative frame of mind you're in today!!!!

Sense of realism (keeps up hopes that things get very snowy, very messy and very white later on and stays until tommorow)

[Beasterly]

Just started snowing in Banbury.

nothing here yet, but keep us updated please. I see light showers coming in towards us on the radar.

[Gord]

Indeed, nail biting stuff....and with reports of every type of precipitation possible north and west of us it's hard to tell what's about to happen.

We are about to find out very very soon if this is going to be a decent event or a washout.

So far, we're ok but its taking an age to accumulate any more than it has.
