The Midlands - Weather Chat

[markw2680]

Just started snowing here, the cars are icy so hopefully will settle

I don't mean to be a party pooper but i've just had a look at the 18z run and my heart has sunk

 

The reason for the snow at the moment in some parts seems to be down to the colder 850's that are over the Midlands at the moment.

 

Once those milder 850's head in later on in the night when the main batch of PPN moves down, it looks like rain/sleet for many in the Midlands

 

Maybe so Andy.......But in the mean time!!!

Covering on cars and roofs now. To wet on pavement

[Potent Gust]

Sleety rain here

Seems to be weaking out fairly quickly and also looking at latest radar frame

Mind you really coming down again

Definitely warming up, bins were icing over when we had that snow shower but they are wet now. Those uppers charts say it all- another 2015 northerly warmup.

Although Little Greenland (the Peak District) will no doubt keep the cold, I swear it can snow with +20 uppers there.....

can't hear you.PNG

It's reassuring quite a few have seen your first flakes it was not forecasted?

In not been far from the lickeys...Just proves that elevation makes all the difference..I'll be happy just to see it snowing at 121m asl

Mild sector will ruin it like it so often does.

Heavy snow here for 10-15 mins, though only just beginning to settle on surfaces.  Certainly not complaining in November though.

Coming to end I think here soon and also snow flakes the size of frogs coming down some maybe a sign of warming up abit?

[snowangel32]

First snow flakes of the season here in Oldbury, those warm sectors later are so pesky. But hey 4 months to go so today is a bonus.

Moderate snow now, will it stick

[Midlands Ice Age]

Fizz, Andy.etc...

Real snow now here, with moderate flakes, but weirdly the moon is looking down on me, through the snow haze.

 

As others have reported the temperature has now started to rise again.

 

MIn of 1.9C now, but with the snow gone up to 2.1C,  still dewpoints are low though at -2.0C.

 

All in all a bit odd.

 

I suspect a bit more height required. But we will see.

Yeah I reckon so, tbh though there's been loads of times the lickies are white and it's just wet here, you can see the lickies from down the road

Just looked out the window about 10 minutes ago. Moderate snow that has stuck to grass, roofs and cars. Too damp on pavements and roads though, will need to be heavier to stick there. Good to see nonetheless.

[snowangel32]

Heavy snow now and the sky is that lovely orange, everywhere is covered now very unexpected, cracking start now bring on winter.

Wow lucky you. Hope we get a covering like that here.

[Summer of 95]

Mixture of sleet and small hail in that one, the uppers are definitely warmer. We'd be better off with a westerly.
