Had heavy freezing rain here coating everything in half a centimeter of ice here, melting now but rather unexpected, some big 50p size flakes of snow were mixed in to towards the end.

No snow in West Malvern! Just jolly cold at 1.4 C and with a chilly NEly wind.

Edit: Looking out north-facing window, can see a line of cloud approaching, must be the small area I can see on the radar north of here.

Moderate snow here, has been for 30 mins, all white over again, can see a little bit of grass poking through! Any reports from Shrewsbury area??

Not a flake of snow this morning in Shrewsbury despite freezing temps, just Freezing Rain. 2-3 hours of it. Left the roads in a far worse state than last month's snow ever did- every single main road north from Shrewsbury was blocked by crashes this morning, and they were sheets of ice that looked for all the world like water. Lethal. Never seen anything like it.

Thats certainly interesting,the freezing rain.

It certainly got much colder late yesterday as skies cleared for the first time in a week at -3.3c

Nothing here as temps rose above freezing later a few spots of rain.

Shawbury was on -5 at 10 last night, the ground was frozen solid this morning, and it was raining at 0C. Not a hint of sleet- it was freezing as it hit the roads. Never seen rain in conditions like that, and never seen so much black ice. Looking at the reports it seems to have been only Shrewsbury, Telford and north Shropshire that got it- Staffs and Birm got snow and sleet, Cheshire nothing at all, Manchester northwards snow- weird.

Agree about the freezing rain, not jsut a nightmare for drivers this AM, but people walking about, English bridge was ungritted and saw a couple of people fall there, also in town by the gateway center... I struggled (gave up with pavements in the end and walked on the road)

Black Ice was everwhere, and I have never seen it like that before.

You actually had 5 inches of snow, but it melted just before you woke up.....that's what happens when you stay up past your bed time...Ironic, you've been desperate for a dumping all winter, and you missed the best today!!!!

I am of course talking complete garbage, but just fancied taking the mick! w00t.gif

The BBC Travel website clearly shows the spate of accidents across North Shropshire today due to ice!

A little freezing rain in Bewdley this morning, but by mid-morning it had changed to plain old rain, and we've escaped the problems parts of Shropshire have seen. In Stourbridge later, and it looked as though there was the vague remnants of a desultory dusting of snow on the edge of the town centre (near the bus/rail stations) but nothing more than that.

I'm quite glad about missing the real freezing rain, to be honest, as I've only experienced really widespread freezing rain once (December 1995 in Bristol) and it was extraordinary. For example, I saw a 4WD Audi creep out of a side road at, literally, 5 mph... and it couldn't stop at the T-junction. At all. Just slid out halfway into the main road, entirely out of control. Thankfully there was hardly anyone else out so no contact, but it was scary even to watch, never mind for the driver.

That would have been gutting haha, must have been the slightest of dustings though because it's all melted and it's only about 2c.
