West Midlands Regional Discussion

[shuggee]

Lots of members asking for a split in the 'Midlands thread' so here you have it - west mids members chat away here

And anyone living near Bescot - lucky you

[PolarWarsaw]

Snowing at the Bescot is it?

[Adzyy]

Intensified here in the past 10 mins, stopped in Coventry so won't be long till it stops here, I'd imagine.

Should nt you be in the East Midlands?

[Adzyy]

Should nt you be in the East Midlands?

Rugby's classed as West.

[Bishop Brennan]

The snow stopped in Solihull shortly after eleven. Equated to about an hour & a half of pretty heavy snow, although much of it didn't quite stick to the wetter surfaces.

Temp is now 0.7C, with a DP of 0.1C

Rugby is more West than East, surely? I always equate Warwickshire with the West Midlands.

All rain here in Stratford bar a few snowflakes in heavier bursts. Most snow gone now, miserable and wet out there.

[bensnowdon]

Here in Sutton Coldfield (NNE Birmingham) ilight rain at around 8.30, turned to moderate snow fall with some large flakes thrown in at around 9.30 then back to very fine cold drizzle around 11.15. The sky looks like it is starting to brighten a bit however the odd large flake has begin to fall again now.

I think we now want this cold wet front to pass us now as here in Birmingham only the centre and heaviest part of the precip band seems to contain snow flanked with light cold drizzle either side.

[Ian Ballinger]

Bad idea splitting into east & west, now we will never get to talk about snow in this thread

[TonyH]

Rugby's classed as West.

Joking I was! You could go in either or both really, you are next to Leicestershire and Northamptonshire and in Warwickshire.

True, literally on the border

[Fozfoster]

Just stopping now, no sorry its rain. :-( but white all around here.

[Adzyy]

Getting lighter now, think that might be us done.

[conor123]

Was all rain here, washed most of last nights snow away, now gotta hope for Friday though its trending west on every run..

Yeah and four days ago it was looking great for West Midlands today. And look whats happened

[Adzyy]

Well, I'm going out for a walk now whilst it's still white and snowing before it most likely rains.

Will report back in an hour.

[Coventry Snow]

Snow eased for a few minutes but now coming down heavy again.........this is so marginal with reports south of us just getting rain!

[matt_in_dudley]

Aaahh! This is much better. This is forum is for the West Midlands region. Warwickshire is in the West Midlands region. Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Shropshire, West Midlands County - i think thats all of them lol '

Ermm - can I just vote against it?

If there's a snow band travelling west to east or vice versa, its useful to be able to track its progress across the country by other members' reports of what's happening where they are.

And now, it also seems to be a lot less lively thread.........

[TheIceManCometh]

I'm in Coventry City Centre and it's started coming down really heavily, whereas it seems anywhere more than ten miles East is getting rained on. As marginal as it gets for us.

Any idea on prospects for this evening?

[robbie69]

Snowed overnight and this morning, all melting away now thankfully.

[Coventry Lee]

It has picked up again here in north east coventry. There is a definite thaw on the trees though. I'm hoping that Hinckley will remain the right side of marginal even if Coventry can't! This East/West Mids split is awkward for those of us close to the border!

Edit: As I type the snowfall has slowed dramatically.
