The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 3

[Bolton67]

Snowing heavy in the North West.. but backtrack is seeing rain.

[we_want_snow]

Hmmm looks like proper sleet now, but paths turning white, it's getting heavier

[Herefordweather]

Heavy snow in Hereford. Big flakes. -0.7c.

[Polar Low]

Heavy snow in Hereford. Big flakes. -0.7c.

Ahhh the sure signs of a marginal setup.

[we_want_snow]

Bare in mind the coldest air is situated in the East, feeding off the European continent. Hence colder temps and why the front will begin to stall.

Cheers, worded badly from myself though, was more wandering how they've already got some ppn

Definately on the cusp here

[Costa Del Fal]

Ahhh the sure signs of a marginal setup.

Dewpoints will be a lot lower though. Almost -5c dp here!

Great Met Office warnings which have extended the Amber warning further West.

[Bishop Brennan]

Grrrr the ppn keeps fizzling out before it reaches here.

I want it all, and I want it NOW! (stomps feet impatiently)

Very light snow just south of Ludlow. Still -1.5C

[MKN]

All looks about on time as expected, should reach western edge of birmingham around 4, all the time the two bands of precip closing up

Yes, I saw that, and now there's no mention of rain except on coastal areas. We could be getting lucky!

[locneverstop]

Very light snow in Worcester at a dizzying 22m ASL. Good times!

Scratch that, From very light to light in about a nanosecond

Bits of frozen rain now!

We'll get there eventually?

I'd be expecting Brum to be affected by as early as 2.30, but I suppose it's just splitting hairs. I'd prefer a slower Eastward movement allowing the two to occlude.

[Arnie Pie]

Snowing in S W Birmingham

[Arctic Hare]

Very light snow here in Bewdley now! Tiny flakes, but just starting to show on the roads. Not the main band, but it's still snow! Those in Stourbridge etc shouldn't have long to wait. Still -1.2 °C here, too!

[Blizzard]

Just started with a few light flakes in Alvechurch (SW of Brum) :-)

[Bolton67]

Good to see reports of snow in the west regions..we in the East wait patiently and in the back of our minds are saying i hope i does not stall west of Brum.

[Soma]

Just seen my first flakes! So few I counted them but still - more to come soon... Temp currently -1.5

I wouldn't worry about that.

[conor123]

Light freezing rain here, sounds like hail hitting the window, currently -1.2c.

Edit: Turned to snow now :o

[klippieboo]

the two fronts do appear to be closing in on each other

[matt_in_dudley]

Nothing here, but it's cloudy and very cold!

[klippieboo]

freezing rain in ironbridge

[we_want_snow]

Cars covered in water now

Paths and roads have a tiny white tinge but nothing's happening again!

Frustrating this lark isnt it!

[camperstron]

Can someone educate me about this occluding cold front and a 'triple point' whilst i watch the v. light brum snow!
