The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion - 07/12/2017 Onwards

[Diamond Joe]

I think the phrase rhymes with ‘clucking bell’ still early days though

[Summer of 95]

Snow falling- and it's sticking! It's not over yet!

[Chunky Flake]

got a dusting here but I think the kids will be breaking down in tears this morning. 

[Sparkiee storm]

More showers/lines of sleet and snow forming now and pushing into the region, may give another light covering with more over the hills.

[Barbmac]

We have a light snow covering! Not on the road itself, but on roofs, car tops, grass!   Currently 0.8'C and Dew point is -0.55'C.

[Summer of 95]

It's snowing again, radar looks quite promising now...

[MattStoke]

Snowing and settling 

[SP1986]

Just for some comparison.. whilst many in the Midlands are seeing snow falling and settling, Halkyn in North Wales at 300 metres above sea level is seeing rain and sleet. Shows you the influence of the sea. Also  rain here in Wirral at 100m asl. Thought that may be of interest to some given you in the line of the showers we are getting

Pretty heavy now.

I can confirm it was raining around Stafford on my journey to work. Can't believe there wasn't even a dusting of snow in Stoke this morning. Not convinced by today, let alone Sunday now.

[shaky]

Ecm and ukmo still lookin rock solid on a pretty significant snow event for the midlands on sunday!00z update!!no backing down!!gfs has moved snow line slightly further south aswell!!

[snowstorm27x]

Nice covering here and snowing moderately at present. Radar looking good for later.

[Staffordshire]

Can report pretty moderate-heavy snow here. Have quite a covering in the 20 minutes it has been long for. Shocked to hear reports of rain?!

Do you have rain mark?!

[Staffordshire]

I cannot believe the rate of the snow here the last 20 minutes, the main road I live on looks very dangerous already, or maybe the gritters just haven't bothered?

no rain no

[V for Very Cold]

Woke up to a light dusting! Grrrr let’s hope today brings more! 

[Supacell]

An icing sugar dusting in Belper from overnight snow showers. It looks like this area is sheltered by the Peak District though, showers tending to die out on route to here. Much better further south and west, I may take a drive out shortly.

Sunday still looks interesting for these parts

north sea?

[markw2680]

Certainly no signs of rain here and am very surprised to here some places have rain and sleet, was expecting more though than we have but anyway let’s see what the day brings
