The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 3

About 2cm where I am in Nottingham at the moment

.some bus cancellations and diversions beginning in the more hilly parts of the city.

[Coventry Lee]

Watching its every move mate lol

It looks encouraging to my untrained eye.

[Gord]

Also around 5 cm here in Bewdley. Temp now up to +0.2 °C, and it's just starting to feel slightly wet, but it's still snowing.

Indeed...felt much wetter when I was out in it a few minutes ago. This is crunch time then! Right on cue as well.

Just done a quick video and am uploading to youtube, I'll post when done!

Lovely, that red/orange patch is heading straight for me. could be interesting in about an hour or so i would say. that will help top up the few centimetres we've had here. not really had any heavy stuff yet , just been 4 1/2 hours of fine snow, but has settled well none the less.

[MKN]

Wow that sounds interesting. Fingers crossed it actually verifies. Is it just one model suggesting this, or all three of the main ones?

Bish

3 main ones gems the model of the day it got today bang on 5 days ago its up there with the others thats for sure

I bet there's not a lot of buses heading up to Mapperley ..

[camperstron]

Ok, I spilt a whole glass of wine during lampost obs - a great sacrifice!! Bigger flakes and pretty intense. I apologise for being miserable earlier on

[Chess01]

Its being snow since 12 in north staffordshire . Weve had more than expected and still going . Was freezing rain/ sleet earlier but snow now . I dont think it will rain now

all three to an extent, but the same trend 90% likely we'll see a better big freeze after a slight thaw.

Looks a good couple of Inches in Cov, don't quite understand why some fellow Coventrians are unhappy with this:

Excellent news! In fairness I think we should probably starting thinking in terms of the Big 4, the GEM seems to be verifying very well in recent times

yeah? after the one cm that we got last year, which we've already beaten tonight, this is an amazing event!!! I'm really happy! and I've seen a snowdrift!

[klippieboo]

rain is heavy now think we have seen the last of he snow! its even starting to melt too temp above freezing

[matt_in_dudley]

Still snowing here, moderately anyway! Really don't want it to turn to rain!

[A.J]

ok, I'm to open up a new thread for the overnight period, so will be closing this one shortly

[Gord]

Still snowing very well here...really feels like we're on borrowed time with it, but great stuff nonetheless.

We're at 7pm and still all snow...can we go another hour?

[Costa Del Fal]

Amazing out there. Roads very reminiscent of 18th December 2010 out there.

DP still -1c and hovering. Some very heavy ppn just to my North West!

[fordy]

3-4cm ? Crazy, your only 15minutes drive from me yet we're barely past the 1cm mark here. Plenty of flakes, there just small in size and blowing everywhere so it's struggling to settle to much.

I can definitely back this up, easily 3/4 cm without the drifts here possibly slight more, been very small flakes but coming down at a fair rate of knots and blowin about in the wind.

[JinxTheCat]

Oh i see jinxy

your dawn sarth

Deepest commiserations my dear
