No but theres loads of mini snowy tornados as the wind whips it up .... I christen these tornasnows :-P

100% true mate. Like snow I remember as a kid

Heavyish snow in Norton now and main road white over again . Dreading the call to my gaffer in the morning telling him I cant in. Cant even get the car off the drive :-(

Im Norton we got 8-10" level snow and 2 drifts in the back garden of 15" & 20" there are drifts though over Chasewater up to 30' where snow has funnelled through gaps.

Us in the midlands always have our most epic snow events when we have cold air in situ and the atlantic tries to push through and we end up sitting under the battleground. The angle of attack is a bit different at present but same end result hopefully :-) If this was January now we would be absolutely battered with snow but I suppose that as we are kicking into spring now that convection plays a bigger part than it would in January ? Just rememberes I bought some snow bodyboards during the last cold spell...might have a trip up horseshoe pass again on Sunday :-P Bloody hell Arnie....do you live in an airship mate lol

just gonna post the same mate. I think it is showing signs of stalling now and will start to possibly intensify and pull back south. I still think that there will be a lot of surprised people tomorrow morning. ;-)

CFS forecasts anotjer wet summer so get them southerlies importing them warm winds up from Spain and hopefully a good year. Would love to see an old school classic import like we used to get.

1cm..... Not bad seing as the clocks go forward very soon. I only read the MOD thread as the backslapping and bareback riding in there annoys me to the point where I dont feel safe posting :-P Bet your buzzing for the summer storms to kick in aint ya bud ?

@ Wadey Fine snow mate thats reduced visibility...pretty much the same as weve had all evening. Blowing and drifting well against walls and hedges.

This should start to stall and then fill as it sinks back south and kick in again. I aint gonna make a prediction or say what will happen cause like the rest of you on here we dont know. Lets just see whats there when we open the curtains tomorrow eh. Got work at 5 so personally I hope the main roads are clear.

Nah mate was gonna just get hom an empty glass to wring the tears from his sleeves into :-P I cant believe that grown adults can be so emotional over the weather...seriously...can you imagine being locked in a room full of em crying cause Ian Ferguson said it would get to 20degrees and it only got to 18. I honestly dont get the end of the world attitude of some on here..kids yeah you can understand but adults ???????? Or is it just me getting sick of reading imby posts lol Ps lashing it down again now :-/

Night night x

Easing up slightly in Norton now mate. Still lots of time to go yet and some brighter echoes approaching though if thats your thing lol. Not much good for my hobbies of fishing and flying rc planes though :-)

You live anywhere near Cannock ? If so Ill take you out for a mans drink and toughen you up a bit precious ;-):-P

Last time I looked it was a weather forum to discuss the weather and not a forum to throw rattles and toys about because the weather gods have not delivered your favoured weather....it gets boring as hell and its extremely childish and boring to read. ! ITS ONLY WEATHER surely youve got more important things in life like your health and family and loved ones to worry more about than some bloody frozen rain and cold mate ? I love using this forum and reading the input of the guys on here but it gets frustrating at times with the childish comments..but I guess that is an unwanted addition to its success as a great weather site. Drop on some of the other weather forums and they are a lot more level headed and mature than this. Anyway...on topic....... I cant find a ruler so measured the level depth on my car roof and its 1 and a half credit cards (longways) deep now with drifts upto about 8inches in places.

Mate the forecasters that people love to berate are just using data from billions of pounds worth of supercomputers. Who is REALLY at fault when a forecast goes wrong ? Ive used weather forums for a long time and although I aint always participated in threads I have witnessed the likes of Ian Brown and Steve Murr have their pants pulled down and be wrong on a good few occasions. They will admit that and it is no different to the pros...these super computera full of algorithms and processing power are quite often wrong. To put it into perspective grab a globe and have a look at how tiny this country is in the grand scheme of things ? We have the met office that cater for our island and due to its positioning,size and location..surrounded by sea you can understand why they get it wrong at times......Its not the end of the world though and life goes on and there are more important things than the weather and if it snows... Ps theres a good few inches of level snow where I live just outside Cannock now...feel free to come and take some home as I cant wait for the Summer now :-P

I dont think ita fair to disect a forecast and say its wrong or crap yet as the event is forecast throughout the night. Last time I checked it was nearly 11pm and still loads of time left yet. I love using this forum but why do people get so upset over the weather not going as they want. At times this forum is one of the most childish on the net and worse than a thread for EMO,s who have worrying thoughts.....chill out people and see what happens.

Nah not pot modded lol. I use it for scaring birds off when Im carping ;-)

Check your facts first mate...only if you fire it at an aircraft then your in BIG trouble ;-)

Green laser pen fired into the air shows some little bits of something starting to fall in the beam.

And who's Puddles ? :-P

How the hell did you see this when Lucy Verasamy was presenting it ? Every time I want to watch the weather and shes presenting it, I never actually look at the map just the warm fronts on the screen ;-):-P:-)

Got light snow but big flakes near Cannock

Turning more sleety here now...near Cannock. Woop woop :-)

Anybody know if Horseshoe Pass is accesible ? Got snow here but a lack of hills and the pass is good cause we can sit in the cafe and let the kids (cough...us adults ;-)) go sledgin. Thanks in advance James.
