Huge wet snow flakes here!

Still snowing here. Light to moderate still rather wet at times. No snow has settled yet. Going to bed now.

YUP, it's snowing in birmingham. I tried to post it 15 min ago but couldn't access this thread, Initially granular ( I did go out) but large flakes at present!

Sleet in the last 15min in Edgbaston, Temp down from 1 to 0,7c.

I thought it has been dumping in the Alps especially the French Alps. 30-50cm since Friday and some cover down to 1000m. However will it all melt if the Euro high returns?

UKMO now siding with ECM!

Not what I'd like to hear but I recognise the voice of experience here!

Well I was rather dubious when my wife told me there was a few flakes of snow through the front window at about 8am, but I then did see just 1-2 flakes through the back window!

2-3 flakes of snow this morning!

+1c forecast for the Midlands for this morning but -5.2c on my thermometer now and I see -6 to -9c in the Midlanda at present. January ends with belated, unexpected little whimper...

Light snow for Brum as early as next wednesday if you believe the BBC weather site!

Didn't see Midlands Today forecast but saw Des Coleman a few weeks ago. I could not focus on the actual forecast and charts - got totally distracted by him almost bouncing off the screen

Heaviest snow of the winter so far here. Already a covering on cars, tarmac, grass.... BBC Midlands mentionned 4in of snow for Clee Hill.

From 3c to -0.9c in 5 hours here

2in on hard surfaces in Edgbaston, 3.5in on grass. More sledging for the kids!

ECMWF still isolated this morning with the low going well south of the UK. GFS, UKMO, NOGAPS, GME, GEM all in close agreement in having the low turning and festering over the BI!

Snow over in Walsgrave, Coventry. I don't fancy cycling 27 miles in the dark to B'ham 9don't mind the cold). I'll be taking the train, that's still 7 miles for the return leg.

Just arrived in Coventry, after cycling from Edgbaston to Warwick, then Stoneleigh and Walsgrave. For the first hour of the ride, there was the very occasional frozen drizzle, then the second hour saw sporadic mixed graupel and snow. In the last hour (from Warwick onwards), the joy of seeing more sustained snow was tempered by the strengthening winds blowing the odd graupels in the face. In the last half-hour, I am looking at light to moderate snow whilst enjoying a well deserved lunch. No sign of snow settling yet.

Ian Fergusson on the midlands thread confirms snow in Glos. so transient snow is likely for most of the Midlands now. I guessed that would happen when the tenp overnight fell to 0c instead of the forecast 3c!

Thanks Barb-

Newbie question. UKMO and FAX charts are UK Met Office products. Are they the same model? Cheers.

5cm in Edgbaston. Snowing moderately after a lull of 30 min.

+1.2c in Birmingham. Temperatures have been rising for the last 12 hours now and no snow!

Finally, a few large snowflakes here in Edgbaston. I was feeling miffed that the PPN has split to the either side of central B'ham!

We have had a steady but unexciting snowfall in the last 1 and half hours but the 20.00 and 20.15 radar pics showed the clouds near B'ham disappearing before reappearing at 20.30. Technical issue?
