    Unexpected change in fortune for Brum and West Mids overnight. Wind direction has changed the alignment of the streamer. Probably a few 2-3cm now. Funny that it has coincided with Met app dropping snow symbols from automated forecast!

    Looks like this will fall well short of expectations for the Brum area. The alignment of showers just didn’t favour us today. But doesn’t sound like much accumulation in region anyway. Let’s see what tonight brings. Nonetheless that wind has a real bite. The streamer is quite defined now covering S. Leicester into Coventry and south Warks. Should be a good covering from now on here. Good for them as they have missed out most the winter!!

    Looking at the radar, looks like most places Birmingham north should be waking up to at least a covering if the light flurries continue to push through on that howling n.easterly wind. Already a noticeable dusting on the street /pavements in west Brum. expecting showers to have more oomph tomorrow ?? Looking good.

    This does have the feel of some of the classic easterlies of the past. They always started with the lightest flurries, leaden skies, and a biting wind. You can feel the chill embedding in now. Let’s hope the position of these streamers vary enough during Mon to Wed to give every part of the Midlands accumulation. ?? But for once this winter the East Mids is favoured over the west.

    It has turned to snow here. Will need to increase intensity to start making a pitch though!
  6. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Would disagree. Seems to be maintaining intensity as it approaches.
  7. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Precipitation arrived as rain here at 195m in West Bham. But turning sleety. Expecting it to turn to snow very soon.
  8. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Agreed, we need wait for the high res models to start picking up the distribution of shower activity or streamers or not as the case could be for Monday onwards. But currently this is looking more very cold and dry rather than very cold and snowy. The good news is any snow that does fall won’t have trouble settling.

    I think the announcement is that the Dutch media have announced a name for the winter storm, Storm Darcy, which will will hit the Netherlands and northern Germany over the weekend hardest, and possibly a small corner of SE England too
  10. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Any where south west or west of Bham city centre is great for elevation 170m+ generally. It has made such a difference so many times in past.
  11. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Can’t decide whether it wants to sleet or snow in Bearwood. But I am sure the undercutting colder air will turn it to snow soon. It’s a real shame, as if it was just slightly colder in the lead up to this event it could have been another Feb 2007

    It’s the final push through the West Midlands. That easterly wind has really picked up and is blowing the snow about. About 10/11cm here. Very Jan 2013 ish
  13. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Given your contributions to this forum, you have deserved it Sheiky!!!
  14. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Getting heavier in Bearwood. Looking good for a few more hours.
  15. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    The warning seems to suggest the intense snowfall will remain in the north Midlands. But as it pulls away the rest of us feeding off scraps.
  16. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Yes that is certainly true.
  17. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    That’s pretty exceptional. Must be a very small area that’s in 20cm+ Zone including your area. Really surprised an amber warning wasn’t issued for some parts today.
  18. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Phil any chance of minus double digits anywhere in the Midlands tonight?
  19. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    You can see a slow southwest movement in system now on its western edge. Expect Stafford towards Telford may see a pepping up soon. Here in the West Mids think we need to be a bit more patient but it should move through later for a top up. looking like Derby Nottingham in the sweet spot right now.
  20. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    Most of Bearwood/Quinton/Warley sits in the 180 - 230 m range. So it always does much better in marginal situations. No marginality problems anywhere today. Fantastic??
  21. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    I think even the Met Office were caught out hence the last minute alterations to the warning zone this morning to extend much further north.
  22. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    About 3 inches here just west of Bham City centre. Warley Woods like Narnia. I would expect the system to slowly start its journey south back through the West Mids on its western edge. But looks like it will fragment as pushes back through. the northern extent of this has been a surprise.
  23. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    I know the month is still early, but doesn't it feel like August is becoming more Autumnal. The month seems to have been plagued by southerly tracking jet in recent years. Cannot remember the last heatwave we experienced in this month. August 03 possibly the last time. Really poor!
  24. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    dusting at best overnight is the most we can expect. Unfortunately a gap has appeared as it approaches my location. Typical.
  25. fiftytwodegreesnorth
    But as is usually the way, the system is losing its bite and breaking as it approaches from the east. Shame.
