Snap.

Considering how long she's been doing the job, she is still hopeless!

Just like yesterday, just had to drive into Birmingham for work about an hour ago. Again, very little on the ground east of West Bromwich. Could see the decaying showers to the north east. Interestingly, hit a light rain shower on the Aston Expressway. No evidence of any snow at all here in the city centre. Just damp.

We have been very very lucky in the Black Country. Only a few miles from disappointment.

Imagine if these two days of snow would have been 4 days earlier

[markw2680]

Does anyone know if there’s any showers knocking about the Midlands tonight? Not had chance to look yet

[shunthebartlett92]

Absolutely stunning up near Kinver today. Easily a good 8-10cm covering on the higher parts!

Just had a look at the latest ICON and GFS. Several areas of snow moving down from the north. Someone could get a big dumping. I won’t get lucky for the third time in a week, will I?

Send some my way

Nowt happening...clearing skies

[WinterWilf]

I wonder if any of these showers building to the east will be of any interest to us later?

I thought we would have a better chance from NW as winds will be coming from that direction

[Matty23]

Is there any chance of a streamer tonight did hear earlier someone said something but wasn't sure.

Cold crisp nite looks on offer cant see much on the radar troubling us. Hope a nice frost forms over the lying snow ❄. Thursday looks like our next chance but still unsure on track.

Sure you will my friend. Winter just started and early signs look promising for a great Winter. Thursday our next shot so hope you get some.

[moorlander]

Have calculated mean snow depth for the last two day mornings periods here in the staffs moorlands.

28th =14.5cm

29th = 7.5cm

         = 22cm 

         = 81/2 inches

As December's go I'll give it two gold stars.

 

[MattStoke]

ICON, Arome, Euro4, Aperge and UKV all look good for Thursday. Here are some snap shots from the UKV. I tend to ignore when the models show more of a wintry mix towards Stoke and further west as they normally overestimate the affect of the low lying Cheshire Plain.

Is that the Net weather model? I thought it would have said UKV in the bottom right?

Euro4 has it as rain. Surely cold enough for snow this far in land

probably due to miss this one, 3 days in a row I feel is too much?

[markw2680]

I’d be surprised if anything falls from the sky is rain atm especially with a bit of height

[shunthebartlett92]

If theres anything the past couple of days have taught us; 

1) Being a west brom fan is about as enjoyable as scraping nails on a chalkboard

2) Nothings a cert at the moment, seen some stunning snowfall the past couple of days! I wouldnt write anything off at all.
