It does look to me that next week might turn out to be a disappointing one for the majority of us. It may be cold but that's about all it will be.

Another minuscule amount of snow for birmingham just enough to cover the pavement and road. Really has been poor for us brummies. The breakdown appears to be on the horizon I would prefer snow from the west than the east We need a new set up and a reload for a new cold spell.

This cold spell has really been a big anti climax. Built up to be the worst of the winter, copious amounts of snow . Named by many the beast of the east. Well in birminggam it's been crap. The snow a week or so ago was far better lasted longer let the kids play in it, and wasn't ramped up half as much as this one.

Looking outside the tiny amount of snow the weather gods of given us is now melting with temperature at minus one with no sun. All too much....

This has hardly been the beast from the east anyway has it. More like the fairy from the east, for most regions. It's a shame we are not seeing an Atlantic breakdown with transient snow. Maybe we may get this in the end.

I have to say I'm really underwhelmed by this whole spell so far. Yes it's bloody freezing but that's about all. Later in the week we will be hit by severe night frosts. As for snow not for us this time I'm afriad. Maybe some next week or an classic Atlantic push battle v cold air. Might be more fun.

I think we are just a bit too far north in Shirley for the streamer

Light snow here now in birmingham

Cant see much happening today in the wild west of Birmingham. A few grains landed overnight...

Dont know what I did there.

http://Just been to fetch the paper its proper cold and windy outside only going to get colder.

Doesn't it appear that the snow is appearing earlier than forecasted. South Yorkshire and Derbyshire already....

Well we know this year the Birmingham snow shield has failed, as we have done well so far this winter.. So more is very welcome. My pet polar bear is really looking forward to playing in his usual snowy conditions. Long may it last.

From Tuesday due to excess cold in the midlands all football matches will now become ice hockey matches and will take place on local ponds. Still the battle Atlantic v high next week who wins my money on stubborn high.

Oh no. The dreaded yellow warning. Guaranteed the only flakes in birmingham will be the ones in my breakfast bowl.
