The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 4

[Bishop Brennan]

Still coming down pretty heavily here in Knowle, with some evil looking intense PPN heading this way to the NW of us - will it fall as snow or (freezing) rain I wonder?

Bish

[Shezale coventry]

Still steady snow in coventry might end up nearing 10cm!!

[Ian Ballinger]

The snow about to clear Telford now

[Chunky Flake]

we have had about 3 inches here at least an inch has fallen in the last hour . Heavy snowfall still and the roads are really bad .

[Snowmoon]

The pic below is the M42 between Junctions 1 and 2. It's not looking too clever there at the moment, with worse yet to come probably.

Really heavy out there now!!!

[Serendipity]

Wouldn't it have been easier to use a ruler?!

The snow here has turned to rain now but, like some other places have seen, the snow may return when some heavier precip reaches here. It's been so windy that the snow has blown all over the place, so it's hard to tell how much there's been really, but it's probably less than 2 inches.

Lol! Really? Rain in Malvern? Hope that isn't on it's way here...

[stripe]

lol wonder what they used to do in the days before lamposts and wheelybins......still comming down heavish and approx 1 deg now

[Karen]

I have just been out and measured whats on top of my dustbin and its a level 4cm and the flakes are a lot bigger now than they were for the the earliest stuff.

It's an absolute disgrace, tons and tons of stock piled grit ???!! Where are the gritters ??

Even me and my little front wheel drive 106 struggled to get back home earlier on normal main roads.

[Serendipity]

oh yeah, on the raintoday radar which is bizarrely showing alternating precipitat levels and precipitation type, it is turning to sleet to the west of me and rain behind that.

You got a pic u could show us

[the lad sharp]

still coming down thickly here. Havent measured the depth but a good 3 - 4 inches.

[PolarWarsaw]

Absolutely pasting down. Somewhere close to 8cm here and the biggest and best snowfall for 3 or 4 years.

[bearing]

certainly chunky flakes here!

Looking like duck feathers out there

[cyclonic happiness]

We're at 6cm now and the really heavy snow is only just setting in now, I'll take some photos soon!

Keep up the reports and get your pictures online!!

[Snowmoon]

The images below are the M5 at Junction 2 and the M6 between Junctions 6 and 7 - definitely not a night to be out driving throughout the Birmingham area.

Do you understand what grit.salt is?

It's not a magic powder that can be spread over all roads in minutes and prevents snow and ice from forming ......

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Looking like duck feathers out there

easily got around 8cms, raintoday showing us on the edge now though

[klippieboo]

gutted that I only live 15 miles or so from this heavy stuff !! freezing rain again now here

[kev238]

On the nottingham city transport website it says most roads in city are at a standstill... And buses are stuck all over place.

This is even before the big orange blob hits. Strange as loads of salt has been spread
