The Midlands Regional Discussion 13/01/13 --------->

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

Iv noticed an intensification of the ppn over Wales on the last few frames . It seems plausible

[Barbmac]

Very, and I mean very, light snow here. Lamp-post stuff and even then you have to look hard.

Noticed the small patch building just east of the Malverns... went outside, there's the lightest of light and small snowflakes falling, temp's sitting at 0.0^oC.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

you got a covering yet mate? seems very wet here?

sugar dusting, but yeah agree, these are only showers ahead of the main band

[we_want_snow]

Heaviest snow I've seen in a while!

I'd class it as light

Covering the grass, paths and cars now, road seems too wet

[Summer of 95]

It's got a little heavier, but seems to be melting what little we do have!

[snowangel32]

It seems like it dosent want to come to birmingham well and truly a snow shield area.

[cyclonic happiness]

Nice to see the southeast will be getting all the fun again, i'm starting to think it's a conspiracy?

Still, fingers crossed, the daily mail says we're going to have a BBQ summer! *fetches raincoat and sandbags*

Well at least if it does rain tomorrow, the precipitation should have no problem staying heavy and crossing the region?

[picog]

Definitely pepped up, proper snow now. Settling on car. Also settling on wooden garden furniture, and the path, and the grass!

[PolarWarsaw]

Not even a flake here.

[Adzyy]

Nothing here yet, but probably won't see anything for a few hours yet.

[snow freak]

it's funny but when i lived in London for 20 odd years you could count the number of decent snow events on one hand and the Midlands seemed to have all the snow fun. Now I live in the Midlands and London has had several decent snowfalls in recent years and the Midlands has been a bit pathetic. Maybe I am that 'snow shield'?

[Luke]

You can definitely see it pepping up

[I remember Atlantic 252]

snowing now, more than snizzle but very light, temp at -0.1°C

[Ian Ballinger]

Getting heavier here now and settling

[Bishop Brennan]

PPN to our northwest certainly seems to have intensified considerably in the past half hour

*prays to God that we get a decent snow event, even though he's not religious* why, oh why is it so bad here for snow now, it's just been one of the wettest years on record, surely we can tie in precipitation and cold?

If this lot fails, i'm gonna write the winter off coz there are only so many failed snow events a person can take ( I had 8 fails in 2010)

[Turnedoutniceagain]

*taps fingers*

[Staffordshire]

Still havent seen anything falling, but if mark has snow it cant be to far away!

[conor123]

Steady light snow here finally after all the snizzle.

[Bolton67]

*taps fingers*

I know the feeling Northampton is under some light ppn, nowt falling though.

[Stour7]

I'm looking on radar & it seems to be intensifying

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Proper snow now

[nats]

I'm looking on radar & it seems to be intensifying

Looks like it, fingers crossed

[Staffordshire]

Proper snow now

surely surely this must be coming my way

[we_want_snow]

Still some nice white snow, refusing to stick on the roads, patchy on the paths

Hopefully it'll get heavier so stick abit better
