West Midlands Regional Discussion - 17th January 2013, 12z onwards

[nats]

Great to see Stourbridge getting some of the best of it right now. Well deserved I say. Pictures tomorrow please! :lol:

Will pop some pics of 'home' on tomorrow for you

Meanwhile, 6c here and Dewpoint of 5c in Falmouth with rain and strong winds. :lol:

I hope people enjoy these updates from such warmer climes. Hehe.

I love the snow, but also love the sea, and at least the sea is always there!! :-)

Snow coming down steadily here now surprisingly, managed just to stay on the edge of this weather front when it stalled luckily :lol:

[FENDER.]

No break now, this current snow will keep om going until the main band gets here. Thats about 3am, then its up to 18hrs of snowfall. I would have though that 20 cm has to be a possibility

Have you spent the last 12 months slowly re-building Telford 20 miles to the east or something? Brick by brick while everyone's sleeping so they don't notice!

[Stour7]

According to lots of people in other threads and model discussion the band just making landfall isn't the big one, that's not hit the radar yet, but you can see it on sat24.com images

Oh, well its a hell of a band the main part of that band is now covering most of Ireland & intensifying nicely

If there's more after, bring it on

Our weswardness might actually pay off tomorrow

[camperstron]

I don't want to jinx things - but this is the best set up I've seen for years. Surprise snow and UPGRADES going into the main event?!! Am I dreaming?!!!!

[Summer of 95]

Been snowing for over 5 hours, and still only that pathetic dusting! I see Telford eastward is doing ok again-what's wrong with this town :-(

Play that through and see what you think guys

[Ian Ballinger]

A lot of southwards movement?

[Isolated Frost]

Here's my amateur prediction. Over 10cm likely for much of the region, 15-20cm in parts, especially on high ground in the far west and south. Good luck!

A lot of southwards movement?

Do you think so? Looks like its curling round and up, exactly as forecast, but I'm rubbish with this stuff to be honest, just an excited amateur!

[Nigel Langton]

Been snowing for a few hours in se Birmingham. Good covering. Band of snow looks to has intensified over here. Will certainly help tomorrow. Let's hope we have a good snow day tomorrow and we have the potential for more through the weekend and reloads next week. Lots to look forward to.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Still snowing only around 1cm, but if this is the taster before the main course its okay, and can hear wind, normally windy weather is mild!

So am I to be honest

[Staffordshire]

Looks like it's merging to become one big band to me

Reckon that's the main band just over Ireland now, not going to be able to sleep tonight

[nats]

But it def looks like the band that's been around us for a while has stalled, it's hardly budged in the last hour or so, it's given us a nice light covering now, including on my road, though I imagine the main roads as completely clear, it's surely setting us up nicely for what's to come later though? How am I going to sleep tonight???

[Stour7]

Looks like it's merging to become one big band to me

And it will intensify as it reaches the cold air

[Ian Ballinger]

I won't sleep tonight either and I have to be up at 4am for work, so out early to play in the snow on the roads haha

And it will intensify as it reaches the cold air

And slow down a lot, fingers crossed

[snowangel32]

Its stopped here, wait for the main band to come now

[I remember Atlantic 252]

main band supposed to do this as well, stall over area, Saturday a day as well that is slowly upgrading, the day when its still snowing while front fizzling out

[sicko2ndbest]

18z is out

No change I think????
