The Midlands - Weather Chat

[Strider]

Looks like a respite for a while as not much more fuel in the fire for Derby/Nottingham, prospects look decent for later though

[Ryan05]

Stopped here having put a slight covering down certainly grass is covered, going dark again north of the City so hopefully that was just the first in a line of beefy snow showers

[DIS1970]

Looking at the radar as soon as this passes through that will be it for a while. Not particulary heavy either.

[jimben]

now snowing

[Fozfoster]

Quick update before work, snowing heavy now, with a slight covering. YEPPEEEE.

[VeryCold]

Snowing thick n fast in Rugby

 

10 Miles up the road and only just started snowing properly now....

 

Bit wispy though for my liking..but hey, anything will do....

Bugger all here in Oxford.

[weirpig]

snow again !

[jmatt81]

Had about 10 minutes of hail which looked more like small ice crystals. On Twitter East Midlands Airport say they are experiencing heavy snow. Can see this band on the radar drifiting slowly SE. Looks like Leicester could miss again.

[smeeth]

Just had a strong flurry, followed by some light hail. Not settling here, ground wet.

[cheshire snow]

Check out the Radar looks like a polar low has formed of NW Scotland

Stopped now, wonder how long it will last as the suns out. First time snow has settled in the middle of the day since Jan 2013.

Yep its very dark and gloomy again. The intense snow has stopped but there are still small flakes. I think it will pep up again in the next couple of hours

[jimben]

now snowing very hard, gone very dark, red pixels still on course, falling pressure alarm just gone off on weather station, dewpoint minus 0.2c and temp 2.9c

[markw2680]

Well this is fun over 2 inches up here and still coming down thick. Did not expect this tbh

Not a polar low with 850s this high!

[The Wolf]

Snowing here again and sticking in places but not a brilliant covering.

[snowangel32]

Moderate snow falling again here

[Herefordweather]

Moderate snow here. Struggling to settle though.

I thought that was forecast to be rain/sleet with any snow confined to the hills

[jimben]

readily settling on all surfaces

Don't worry Andy Leicester snow shield is at 100% operational functionality.As you can see, no problem diverting the snow north and south of here. I have yet to see a flake

Seriously. What is it about Leicester and snow? As if it hits the ring road and bounces off it. Same with thunderstorms in the summer. Rain? Yes. Wind? Yes. Lightning? Not so much.

[stipey1]

Very heavy snow shower lasting 15 mins just passed over us, left a covering.
