Height definitely playing a part here, 160-180 meters above sea level in this part of Telford, on route to work this morning was snowing at top of the road and then pure rain 5 mins later by town centre (around 100 meters lower).

95-100m here (according to the OS maps) so higher than town and not much below Telford. But round here it seems 100m= 20m elsewhere, 200= 100. Anyway it's clear now, but still above freezing.

Still snowing here in Telford, heading home from work soon, hope it follows me to Tipton

Streetmap.co.uk or any OS map. Looking at it, Ironbridge riverside is about 45m, but go up the hill to Madeley/Woodside and it's 100-120. You're probably somewhere in between...

No snow in Cannock .

So that's pretty bad for snow chances?

From the radar, looks like you might see some falling quite soon.

Looks like Birmingham's on course for a short period of moderate-heavy snowfall... might just miss the worst of it several miles north.  Should get a covering out of this if all goes well.
