The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion 08/08/14 16z----->

[Mair Snaw]

Big flakes falling here, way to wet for it to settle though. Anybody tell me if its settling up towards Matlock? 

Yes just started sticking here on the grass and cars etc....if it continues at this rate i suspect it will settle on the roads etc...

[tom_f123]

All but stopped now, you'd think any heavy showers later on will be of snow? Especially around the Black country/Birmingham 

[nats]

Birmingham city centre, cars covered and roads slushy but covering, can clearly see tyre tracks, and still coming down heavily

[Terminal Moraine]

About 2cm lying now and still snowing quite heavily.

[fizz511]

Snowing here in Redditch but not sticking yet. Is it supposed to last ?  Have an appointment lunchtime - typical .

It must be snowing - Mr Benn's here! It's been too quiet without you.... :)Finally a few falling flakes to watch, but don't think it's going to be more than a passing moment today.

[Gustywind]

Heavy snow here also, settling on all surfaces.

[Bishop Brennan]

Absolutely belting it down with snow right now, lovely big flakes.

Just starting to settle here now, rain forecast untill midday so if it all falls as snow we could be in for a decent covering

Only problem is I think it will be stopping very soon.

[Fozfoster]

Temp falling and a bit of sleet.

[Laurie61]

Almost stopped snowing here now. About 75 min worth and 1 cm ish. Temp 2.0 c, wind dropped to 1.5 mph, 987.3 mb. 

[smethwickgg102]

Light snow now, more later?

[shaky]

Any more updates from brummy!!temp still 4 degrees here and raining!

[Gustywind]

A spell of snow overnight for midlands I believe, so potentially could wake to a cm or two? Either way I have a covering now so at least we haven't achieved the terrible milestone of zero snow cover all winter, which we did manage a couple of times in the late 80s and 90s.

[snowangel32]

Yh shaky went light for a bit now bk to heavy snow nice covering now, expect it to turn to snow anytime soon

[Gustywind]

The changeover is quite sudden and rapid Shaky think it should be hitting Leicester imminently.

[Adzyy]

Throwing it down with rain here. Really quite heavy. Maybe it's soon to change to snow? Who knows?

[Dancerwithwings]

Just love snowfall that catches us out, makes it all the bettter.... Huge massive flakes

[mozza81]

Looks like a period of snow during the early hours of tomorrow, may make the morning commute interesting.

[Gustywind]

About 30 minutes, light slushy looking covering, struggling on roads and pavements to settle.

[TonyH]

Nothing here, just heavy rain. Will keep an eye out.

Give it 5 minutes
