Keep the faith, Serendipity! Your temperature and dp are pretty much what I was recording just an hour ago - now we're at 0.8°C and 0.2°C and falling fast.

I think you're just an hour or so behind us, that's all 

Bish

Dp just risen to 1.4 so I a not holding my breath!

Rain til 2 am and then snow according to my iphone weather but it has changed literally  ever half hour all day. We are always just too low I think. No idea re Met O, never understand how to get a detailed forecast from them.

Yeah, by correct to the minute, I meant they said it would be (on my iPhone MetO app) sleety snow from 11pm, and it started at about 5 to 11 - it's no more detailed than that really.

im just hoping we get the heavy snow forecast from midnight, although it's still pretty sleety, so not too convinced about that!

Are you going to stay up till 2am?

I know I looked at that and laughed it says heavy snow in the Black Country until 2am. You will be in a foot of snow soon. The met are playing blind mans buff it seems lol.

Still snowing and everything is covered

[Supacell]

Snowing nicely and settling. Only a dusting so far but it's coming down quickly so hopefully I can squeeze a couple of cms out of tonight.

No, I can't see any reason to as the dew point is rising and the rain is heavy but looking at the radar that will die off soon and then I don't think we will be under the band, we are too far west I think.

[snowangel32]

Back in Oldbury now and it Lashing it down with Rainnnnnnn grr. Stupid Met have no clue.

I don't know why you miss out on snow so often - you're not far down the road from here really! 

Wish I could send you some doll!

( Mind you, mine - such as it is - is fizzling out right now! Sigh)

[Mair Snaw]

Couple of cm' s cars covered.  Grass and roads covered still coming down. 

[Serendipity]

I know, it is madness really!

[markw2680]

It's gutting tbh, look out the window East and the sky is full of it, just a smidge to far west

[tom_f123]

Burst of snow then for a few minutes.

 

As i thought, the conditions would have been ok for snow at this elevation, its simply the lack of any meaningful precip to the west of brum.

Surprised at reports of no snow in Northampton. It's been coming down pretty heavy here. A good 3cm on the grass, only a 1cm on the roads.

A Real Choke Chase This Week Has Been In Regards To The Models And Cold Coming In. At The End We Snizzle Out To A Damp Squib. 

[Costa Del Fal]

HOLD THE PRESS! 

Some SLEET here now. By that I mean about 3 snowflakes mixed in the heavier drizzle.

[chillyblast]

We are getting hit pretty good from the spine of England into the middle midlands, hopefully good until about 3-4am....?
