The Midlands - Weather Chat

[Staffordshire]

Well it's a good job I didn't head home this weekend, ended up getting a good 3-5cm here in Leeds - against the forecasts

[snowangel32]

Bit of sleet here met has it turning to snow soon can't see it myself.

[Adzyy]

It's just sleet and wet everywhere. So so disappointed, it looked so promising earlier. Looking at the radar we won't be getting much else.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

turning snowier now 0.8C, 

[Supacell]

Story of the evening here , notice the big gap over Derby and upwind from it . At least I can see the amusement in it. 

[Ben_Cambs]

Had light snow for maybe 30 minutes or so, a light dusting so far, maybe a bit more to come..

[snowangel32]

Wtf from rain and dry to this latest update.

assume you are in Keele? Where's Ian Brown?

[chillyblast]

Zero in E Beds, nothing at all, need to head back to Northants!!! At home over 100m ASL here about 5.

light snow now, seems like cold air edging west, 0.7C, still don't expect covering on very wet ground

[Adzyy]

Ooh something is settling! Surprised considering the ground was so wet. Doesn't look like much ppn on the radar though?

[Gord]

Still just a heavy drizzle here...nothing wintry about it at all.

Would need to freeze hard and fast if any of us want snow to settle tonight.

Well, good news is that it's turned to that very sleety wet snow, which is trying to stick on the bins and such. I think, given a bit more time and heavier precipitation (really annoys me having to type that word <---  I could just write 'snow' instead!), i think it'll be full snow before long

Snow can settle on very wet ground all day long if it's heavy enough

[snowangel32]

Seems like cold uppers edging west good news

I'm at the University not the village. As for Ian Brown, don't think he's been on the forum for a few years now..

Meanwhile, light snow continuing, 0C.

can do yeah, but only light here, boxing day 2014 great example of that

[cyclonic happiness]

Medium sized flakes now at the rate of about 40% , we're getting there!

I just listened to Kate Bush "December will be magic again" it's a spell you know, for when times are desperate  

[Bishop Brennan]

Ian Brown is on Twitter, at https://twitter.com/modernwinter

Although most of his tweets seem to be about politics.

[Snowshine]
