Nice cluster in the midlands

[Chess01]

There's a slight upgrade for the stoke area . Last night had snow for Monday but today it starts Sunday night into most of Monday however by 3 o'clock the temp goes up to 2c and its rain . Just need slight shift west for me to hang on to the cold air

[conor123]

My gosh the impossible is happening! It's SNOWING in Telford!!! Almost fainted from shock

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Fantastic GFS and UKM0, but what is it with ECMWF and the mild? has ian brown been tampering with it? hopefully no support for ECMWF, look in model thread now

[Shane Wheeldon]

Well I got up half asleep and opened the curtains and was shocked to see lots of whites bits falling from the sky can anyone tell me what this phenomenon is haha! It rarely happens in telford

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Tea Leaves.

Great to see you back skyraker! hopefully snow for wildwood as well as elsewhere!

Snowed here in Redditch, Worcs about 30 mins ago. Started to settle on the greass, then it stopped snowing. Stillt snow flakes falling now.

Is that it for the day ?

[Bishop Brennan]

Very light snow here in Knowle. Nice surprise to wake up to!

Had loads of snow in shrewsbury , only problem being it melted on way down and fell as rain.

[nobble]

Light intermittent snow in pelsall , looks like hail pellets on top of cars

[Matty23]

latest NAE has upgraded abit for 12 today and i can say its sleety here in craven arms

[Gord]

Snow here too, settling on grassy surfaces. Huge surprise.

[snowangel32]

Yh actual snow in sandwell and its getting heavier.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Super duper light snow falling. The Solihull snow shield trying so hard to power back up, though, with the snow being so light and the fact the band on the radar seems to be losing intensity around here.

[Summer of 95]

A few large wet flakes in Shrewsbury now

[Gustywind]

Light snow here in Heath hayes also.

[SalopWatcher]

A few large wet flakes in Shrewsbury now

Yep woke up to the same!! Really sleety ATM.. Still nice to see! My youngest is seeing his first snow flakes

[Barbmac]

Bleh - any sleetiness quickly vanished here and we're just wet and foggy.

[Adzyy]

Yay cloud...

[I remember Atlantic 252]

very light flakes falling now, even this far north, my first few flakes since 10th Feb '12

[we_want_snow]

First snow flakes of the winter in Shrewsbury!!!

MO forecasting heavy rain for here atm... They also are for Monday day time... Sign of things to come?

[I remember Atlantic 252]

lots of little flakes now, but 0.6C rising

[Gord]

Snow easing off here as well now...almost stopped. Have to wonder if those rain bands further to the south west will get here? Althought the whole thing seems to be weakening.

Wind has really picked up over the past half hour too.

As for Monday, still almighty close for what we will see...but I think we're going to do ok. More shifts west would be good though.

Still snowing in sandwell and just saw latest bbc forecast it shows two bands of snow to affect the midlands from sunday night and into monday

[Lukey]

Still no snow here in Sutton Coldfield. It looks liken the band is stalling and fizzling. Looks good for Sunday night into Monday according to the latest NAE though.
