All radars have stopped at 2215! Overworked maybe? Now I'm having to get up instead of a quick look at my phone! What's everyone's guess for the end of the snow in west brum! I need to sleep!

Coming down moderately and because it's dark now is putting a sludgy deposit on the roads!

Where exactly in the Midlands are you? You don't seem to have much luck. I'm assuming by your reports that you are Evesham way? That's the only area I can think of that's had a poor day (now that Stoke has joined in!)

Nope Rugeley. Lower ASL and a power station does me no help at all. It's commonly recognised that, the second you go over the chase the snow frequently doubles in depth towards Cannock. Staffordshire and gimmesnow are local, to me ad they've had only light/occasional moderate all day with no real accumulation.

Yet Cannock seems to be gridlocked! Weird.

Interesting. Can the power station really have that effect on a location? I know the Chase can have it's own weather. I really would have thought that you would have been in a prime spot today.

Loads of schools all closing again for today (Monday) now.

I love how the West Midlands has basically gone "Do you think were gonna miss out again today, Nope, let us have some!" The West Midlands has really bullied its way into that system today... Congrats! A brilliant cold spell for you all.

Meanwhile my snow is just a few miles away now!

Still snowing here moderately. Had 12.5cm on friday which had reduced to 9.5cm this morning on settling/thawing yesterday. Now we're up to 14cm depth and that's excluding snow melt so fantastic! One delighted snow fan!!!

I don't think so but it won't do much to help. I'm on another forum and a member has pretty much just stated its been snowing in Uttoxeter since 9am but only started accumulating in the last 90 minutes. Gimme in Stafford said the same and Staffordshire in Lichfield.

I think it depends on locality of your house to roads also. Out back of mine is a huge garden that has added another 2-3 CMS today, the front is a semi busy 2 laned road and so a thaw of pathways and puddles on the road have done nothing.

It's also known that you come 'down into rugeley'. We are in a Valley compared to all towns around us so of they get 5CM in Cannock, we usually get 3 tops.

Looks like an area around Birmingham and this end of the Black Country suddenly intensified. Been coming down fairly rapidly in the last half hour.
