The Midlands Regional Discussion 12th February 2013>

[Ryan05]

settling everywhere now, any ideas how long Nottingham has left as snow before the change to rain

[conor123]

Messy mix of sleet/ice pellets coming down here, front practically cleared away though, still only 0.2c!

Very similar to 4th Feb last year and 7th Jan 2011.

Melting here now, light snow falling now

[lesta_snow]

0.2 here still falling starting to settle on roads now

[MKN]

Yes i was puzzled by that ST.

Same here counting this last few days i have had 17 days of snow cover with the max depth lying in the last week of the Jan spell -20cms.

I guess we have been luckier-for snow that is-than many other lowland areas.

edit:i forgot to say snowing quite heavy now but struggling to settle on paths and road.

Yup 17 days lying snow with snow falling on 7 of them over the past month. Can't complain that's for sure. Some roads, paths goin white here now. Roughly same intensity as the past hour though

[godber]

you'll have to forgive me SHAKY, as i'm not that computer savvy, i'm in binley village, outskirts of coventry 83asl.

Now raining in Stourbridge, with the odd flake thrown in for good measure. Had about 4 hours worth of snowfall but no new accumulations....

[snowangel32]

Turned to sleet now not looking gd

Would say more 7th Jan 2011, especially timing wise, and less snow than 4th Feb 12, heavyish wet snow still falling here

[cold stoke]

Still snowing in stoke

Still small flakes though ? coming down moderately though.

Someone somewhere, gimme big flakes!

[snow freak]

I think the best period for snow and cold in Northampton was from January 2009 through to December 2010. In particular February in 2010 and also December 2010 brought us a fair amount of regular snowfalls especially as it was during the same year.

If we get snow through out this band then the final 30mins may see some heavy stuff. If not some heavy stuff later in the form of rain coming in from Ireland.

[godber]

Anyway, looking forward to tonights ECM output, potentially v wintry last third of the month!

[snowangel32]

Full transition here now its rainnnnnnnn grrrr, gd luck to evreone else

Where are you?

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Big flakes now, feel its on its last legs,

[Stour7]

Surprisingly, still snow here. Light now, and the cover (1cm ish) isn't increasing. Even so, better than expected.

Crazy as we're only a few miles apart & none of its stuck here....

[snowangel32]

Oldbury shaky in town centre, although its trying to snow again so frusrating.

[godber]

Going by the radar, the back edge looks quite potent, and still snow!!

[Polar Low]

Covering quickly turning into a thick coating here now, wonderful scenes- pictures to follow shortly.

[Convection currents]

Still snowing moderately here but small flakes

[TootyFruity]

Really big flakes now really coming down hard ...

Shrovetide will be renamed Snowtide after this .. TF
