My temperatures seem to be quite favorable compared to others on here. Actually am expecting it to be turning to snow pretty quickly, with an initial session of sleet.

Sorry..IMBY I know. Nice to see reports of snow in Birmingham, looking good for those even further north.

The Black country's elevation is going to make all the difference, in situations like this
