The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion

[RobR]

Gusty winds whipping the snow around, not something we see often.

[cyclonic happiness]

Looks like a pretty intense band of snow, and gales too, this will be a true blizzard.  Why haven't the met office got any warning out for this, it's dangerous?!!

[Herefordweather]

Because it will die out soon I guess

[Zak 92]

Just sat here patiently waiting in Leicester 

[Polar Maritime]

Wind howling here with moderate snow continuing.

Enjoy guys, turning out to be a decent event for you lot! I'd rather you get plastered with snow than the SE.

It's coming mate about another hour and it will be all over the midlands.

Woke up, looked outside and... SNOW! Ok, ok! It's only a cm or so, but I'll take it.  My two year old is fascinated by it. Are we getting any more?

look at the radar, there's a band moving down from the north, ETA 1 hour(ish)

Nice looking trough heading rapidly towards us, hopefully daybreak might pep it up a bit more or at least allow it to maintain intensity.

[Fozfoster]

I think so chap , in about an hour or so.  ❄️ 

[snowangel32]

[Weatherman662]

Heavy blowing snow-big flakes. I'm surprised the metoffice hasn't issued a warning . Close to blizzard like conditions

 

[Zak 92]

It's been in the same place for ages lol hardly moving 

[Shane Wheeldon]

No warnings out for us in Shropshire! 

[Matty23]

It's abit sleepy.here in Shrewsbury 

[RobR]

Its not 'blizzard conditions', just strong winds and snow but visibility isn't reduced much. Its just rare to see snow and wind at the same time!

[MattStoke]

There is the risk of further snow showers late tonight/early hours of tomorrow, by the way.

I'm about to start my walk to work.

Hi ho. Hi ho. Off to work I go!
Through the wind and through the snow. Hi ho. Hi ho!

[RobR]

The streets are already gridlocked in Stoke as per usual. I saw a BMW being pushed up the hill by me...when will they learn to stay off the roads in poor conditions?!
