The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 6

[TonyH]

Brummies going to have a surprise when they wake up

[A.J]

radar must be on the blink...as according to radar I've been under a heavy snow shower for over 20 minutes now, yet it's bone dry outside

[PolarWarsaw]

Its pouring with a rain/sleety/snow combination. Grounds too wet for anything to stick now though.

Yep its truly messed up over most of the Midlands.

However if Radders is reporting a downpour of a wintry mix there must be something...somewhere. :lol:

[Staffordshire]

Horizontal snow! I have a nice covering now!

[Rose]

Apparently snowing hard in Burntwood but not by me Tutbury way damn it!

[Costa Del Fal]

Mostly cloudy now but these heavy snow reports to my NE are good which suggest despite a broken radar, this streamer is reaching well inland with intensity. Will just miss here but good to here nonetheless.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Hope the radar starts feeling better soon. Can't tell if the wintry shower approaching here is a genuine one, or a bogus one (lol). Though will take a peek outside soon... just incase.

[Staffordshire]

Can someone post an image of the most recent radar return I want to see if theres more on it's way but I'm on iPod... thanks in advance!

[LeeKay]

Mag light + lamp post to confirm snow, with clear sky above! NWRadar seems to have had a beer or two as like aj says been under heavy ppn bit it's clear? Maybe it's picking up the snow being pulled in the wind. Anyway, nice to see snow again and it's settled on a few cars now...

[BlueHedgehog074]

Currently a bit of sleet falling outside (looks like it was a real shower afterall, especially with the reports from others further North and West).

Hope this is okay (arrow showing direction of showers' travel)

[Gord]

First snow of the night just started here. Not settling though.

[skyblusam]

Heavy snow here only settling on cars an fences

Heavy snow Birmingham. Car roofs covered and grass dusted.

Same. Really throwing it down with flakes. :0

Edit: Looks like it's stopped now, but quite satisfied with the results. Was doubtful we'd even see any wintry weather tonight, but looks like I was wrong.

Congrats to all who have had some, and fingers crossed for those of you who are still wanting to see your snow shield destroyed. Seems to be a few more showers being brought in from the North-West.

Everything looks to be slipping west of me now. I can see a huge white cloud out west from my window. I missed the snow falling but there's a slushy covering on car windows and a slight white tint to the grass. Shame it rained before though.

[Ian Ballinger]

Sod all here, now that's a surprise

[Gord]

Slight dusting this morning. Just starting to snow again. Think we're just catching the tail end of the showers here.

[Staffordshire]

I recon I've accumulated a cm here have to get out an have a look later....

[I remember Atlantic 252]

dusting of snow! was snowing heavy last night, but winds too northerly now, can see anvils going west of here

[Chess01]

Dusting in newcastle under lyme

[Gord]

Looks like that's it for us now. Still a nice little surprise. Sun making short work of the little snow that's on the ground.

Time to get ready for the very mild weather then. I wonder if last nights snow will be the last before next year? Could well be.
