One of my local radio stations spent quite some time going on about how disruption was likely across the Black Country tomorrow and how we should all tune in and keep up to date. Then it was the news and weather, and during the weather, I kid you not, he said, "Expect flurries throughout the day tomorrow!"

They don't even listen to themselves!

After Saturday we'll be relying on disturbances from the north sea carrying inland. The air is cold enough so it's very possibly that we could see some very heavy, short lived showers dumping a cm or more or more organised bits of precip.

Get the cold in place and the rest is just gravy.

[Summer of 95]

Still snowing, and still refusing to stick any further. 3 hours of steady snow for <5mm on the cars, grass and some driveways. Why won't it give us a proper cover like it seems to be doing everywhere else?

[Shezale coventry]

[Ian Ballinger]

[Ian Ballinger]

[I remember Atlantic 252]

not changed for me, always been forecasting light snow from 6pm today to 6am saturday!

Ian Ferguson on Points West said the midland areas would do well tomorrow, especially in the afternoon, but just have to see on the day as it seems forecasting is difficult right now.

BBC Oxford said upto 15cm but did not say exactly where though.

[ANYWEATHER]

Folks, from my experience and Im 44 !...that there will always be surprise snowfall which are not really forecastable in this situation! The snow tomorrow continues to get upgraded and expect some more upgrades by morning.As for the rest of next week, remaining bitterly cold with more snowfall. I imagine some people will be sick and tired of the wintry conditions by this time next week!!
