Still just rain here in Redditch.

 

Hope I dont need the huskies to get me to work in Redditch tomorrow.

[Staffordshire]

Heavy snow here settling on paths too think I'll go for a walk in a bit

Just curious if you guys can tell us how long its taking to turn to snow.

It's just starting to drizzle at 3C here.

Took about an hour here - just starting to see sleety flakes in either the rain now.

(So annoying - finally got rid of the old man for a couple of hours to watch Downton Abbey, and now I don't know whether to look out the window or at the telly!)

Wow :o went to the gym at 3 and it was rain with just a hint of sleetiness, now full on heavy snow and a covering on all surfaces     

[Hansona]

Reasonably large flakes of snow in Shirley, Solihull.

[Gord]

Easing off here....and now am starting to wonder if we will see much more...despite what I said earlier, I have to now agree that it's pushing through far too quickly.

[Staffordshire]

The front is clearing very quickly, when is it meant to pivot?

Ah, Mr Benn - was just thinking about you!

I'm sure the roads will be clear by the morning (or perhaps you could just ring in sick, there's plenty of bugs going round the Midlands you can blame!) ☺ï¸

Watching west brom game, settling on the pitch now

[I remember Atlantic 252]

heavy snow now! think its meant to pivot, like what it's doing over northern ireland

[Nick L]

It does seem to be piling through quickly. Certainly can't see it lasting until dawn tomorrow!

[PompeyFC]

Post some piccies dudes

[username home]

supposed to be driving up to Warrington this evening (half way sleepover on way to Glasgow - one 7/8 hr trip with kids aged 0, 3 and 5 is too much...)

M40, M6 to Premier Inn junction 21 (classy)

Would appreciate some updates on M6 conditions if people have any?

I'm not suprsed lol ; ). Should be played to the finnish though especially with city 3-0 up.

[Soma]

Looks good at The Hawthorns! Jeff Stelling says it's coming down well and Chris Kamara actually in the ground was singing let it snow!

Meanwhile still it rains in WR9...

The main roads will be fine.

Heavy rain in Rugby......*sigh*

[Costa Del Fal]

Indeed moving far too quick. Shame really.

[MKN]

Sleet/snow here now 

[Gord]

It is starting to pivot...however, I fear it may have gone too far east already for any pivot to benefit us. At least we've got some very decent snowfall out of it with a layer of snow on the ground.

[Summer of 95]

Hows Shrewsbury looking? Do not want to drive back to find Telford white over and nothing back home. Happened far, far too many times in the past....

[Serendipity]

Still largely rain here in warwickshire.
