The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 3

[we_want_snow]

Living up to our reputation as one of the driest places in the west here!

The slight ppn we had an hour ago was all rain/sleet, still hoping!

[conor123]

A dusting of polystyrene balls here pretty much :lol:

Seems to be turning back into a wintry mix now

[DotK]

Just started to snow here in Aldridge with very fine flakes.

[A.J]

moderate snow being blown in a strengthening wind....Already surfaces white.....lovely jubbly

[snowinbrum]

started snowing here too! just by the lickey hills, elevation will come into play i think

temp -0.5 dp -6.6 and falling!

[deka]

steady light freezing rain here , cars and road are covered in ice.

[MKN]

This makes it clear to see the progress the cold front has made over the past 2 hours

[i love snow]

Snow more moderate now and covering already :-)

[weirpig]

had moderate showers earlier roads white now washed away with sleet and rain hope this isnt like the gfs and milder air pushing eastwards quickly

[A.J]

as you can see from the radar....it's a very fine line for snow/freezing rain/sleet....living on the edge here!!

Frustrating here isnt it!

Mainly freezing rain, then a bit of snow to raise hope, then nothing!!

[camperstron]

Very fine snow here in south brum, more of a snizzle at the moment.

Manchester live cam looking good

[snow freak]

all this talk of temperatures and snow. it is never too cold to snow otherwise the arctic would never have any. snow can fall up to 7c but it won't settle unless the ground is below 3c. saying that rain can fall when temperatures are around freezing too. all depends on the upper air temp too.

very , thought we might have managed a few hours of snow before the rain , nevermind at least i can watch the rugby now

[Paceyboy]

Anybody seen the enlarged met office amber warning area?

Looks like a huge u know what!

lol

[PolarWarsaw]

This will be another let down then - as expected. Fine margins here, mean no snow. Although the snizzle has increased in speed.

Lol hadn't noticed... dirty mind and all that.

Snow reaching Brum now, everything on track... should see some good intensification over the next 2-3 hours as the triple point arrives and the fronts occlude.

Going pretty much as forecast for Western most areas.

[German John]

Very fine light sleety snow just starting in Northfield South Brum. Gone quite dark and wind slowly picking up. temp hovering around 0c Let's hope the front starts to stall before it pushes too far east to give the main band time to catch up

[Bishop Brennan]

Temp seems to have stalled at -0.2 here in Solihull, although the DP has actually fallen to -6.8

None too accurate though.... Worcester falls in the sleet portion of that radar, but it almost certainly isn't and the precip is still light. I think it's just a case of magic and/or witchcraft....

[Paceyboy]

Snow grains here near Lichfield.

Radders: The precip is only light at the moment and will be that was for a bit yet.

Dont get too disappointed mate, the event has even started yet!

Its a very slow passage of the front and things will get interesting later!

Live cam of the molineux when you see the black seats all white and the pitch you know we have a good covering.

[Luke]

Everywhere is covered already, looking good for later on

[smethwickgg102]

Moderate snow here with big flakes

On with my thermals and off to the match, come on you baggies!
