Yes PM things are bad enough already and its only been snowing for 10 hours so just cant think what another 24 hours will bring....power cuts could well happen if this continues as it is and with the roads this bad it could be a few days before anybody could get here. just glad we have plenty of coal and food to keep us going..... not seen it this bad up here for a long time.

Yes it's looking like Winter 09/10 out there, an interesting day or two coming up. We have certainly broken records for March here in these part's.

Well we have a slow thaw going on in West Malvern, cars struggled to get out this morning in the slippery slush, temp has gone up to 1.3oC, we've even had some light rain!

I think that was expected, the South and South West Midlands were always forecast to be in the milder upper air at least for a time.

Around 10-15cm here on outskirts of stoke on Trent, 800ft asl and lots blowing off fields, drifts

Already up to 2ft.

At work now in centre only around 5cm and

Getting a bit slushy

Where are you based on outskirts? Here we have around 5cm...it is quite wet stuff. I did expect more than this really. The wind is the issue mind.

We have nothing in leicester , really disappointing . Not getting hopes up for tonight's event ...

All snow now melted in Nottingham. Not confident about tonight either.

I think we were unfortunate in that the heavier snow dissipated before it reached us. Tonight's set up looks considerably better for our region, though.

Yes, so would I.

Today is the 14th consecutive day with sleet or snow falling here, quite impressive for the time of year.

Your quite right as disappointing as this morning was in Nottingham (most snow now gone) its tonight which was always going to be best for our region, as it sinks south condititions should be perfect, Im as confident as I can be with the weather that we will wake up to a decent covering tomorrow

It sure is impressive TM.. The coldest snowy'est March in my lifetime. This evening/tonight could be even more impressive, if the models are to be believed.

Yep same here we have had so many days with snow falling and some with it settling too infact we still had some snow left from last week in drifts before this started... very odd even at this time of the year, yes we get snow late in the season as being 1000ft asl but this month has been something special so far...drinks.gif
