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

[nobble]

About 3 cm fresh snow 

still coming down thick 

shame it's almost over looking at radar ?

[weirpig]

Dp rising  also temps on the way up. Nice little fall but expect that's it. To warm here 

[Eye to the sky]

Heaviest snow of the season here,easily beating Sunday's event,but failing to settle as yet.Pretty to watch though.

Midlands once again getting snow, you've had a great start to the winter snow-wise, west and north west midlands especially, right place right time.. BBC forecast very poor this evening, saying snow only on highest ground and no weather warning. 

Ice warning did mention the snow risk. Albeit mostly above 200 m.

[Polar Maritime]

Very heavy snow now.

[BleakMidwinter]

And look what's sitting over Ireland, in the same line to us as the recent snow...!



MORE!

[WelfordRd]

It's just been sleety rain in Hinckley  no snow like everyone else  I swear Hinckley has some kinda snow shield even Sundays event we got less snow that most areas only 5-10 miles away #wantsomemoresnow

[Summer of 95]

Stopped snowing but what we got is still there, if/when It freezes it'll be very treacherous, light snow cover on frozen slushy stuff.

[Arctic Hare]

Absolutely throwing it down... with rain. Ah well.

Had an inch in an hour and still heavy snow on the edge of Cannock chase

Same for me. Went out in it quickly, very thick flakes.

Great hour or so.

Same here - the roads in the morning may be, er, interesting... 

[shaky]

Belting with snow in leicester!!2cms already!

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Stopped here now. Got maybe a centimetre or two on all surfaces now though as well as the various broken patches of remaining snow from Sunday's event.

 

[MattStoke]

Temp creeping up. Not sure much of this snow will survive until morning.

[Zak 92]

Huge lumps of snow in Leicester settling on all surfaces

[BarometerCat]

snowing and settling now.  total melt earlier today and now a new covering. Not forecast!

[RobR]

Stopped here. Slight thaw setting in but the wind picked up and is cold. Roads weren't gritted tonight so bit slippy.

[moorlander]

great way to start my night shift "DAD I'M STUCK" wife "GO DIG HIM OUT ON YOUR WAY TO WORK"

That apart was a lovely way to start the shift with a drive in the snow. Maniacs clogging up main routes so took the scenic way via lanes with virgin snow.

Snow just stopped here now,a good few centimetres.Makes up for our poor show last Sunday.A nice surprise.

There's only one way to find out... hang up a stocking on the end of your bed and go to sleep reeeeally quickly and, if you've been a good boy or girl all year, then in the morning, there'll be SNOW!

(It is just possible I've muddled up meteorology and Father Christmas there...)

[MKN]

Its bout stopped here now gave a thin covering of a cm or 2. Shame weve had so much rain inbetween each spell of snow. Would be looking at 40-50cms otherwise.

What if I'm on the naughty list? Do I get any snow ? 

[Tim Goffer]

Fantastic bonus snowfall here! A good 2 inches in a about 45 mins, wasn't expecting that! Just shows you it's sometimes best to just look out of the window than staring at endless weather forecasts! A great start to the winter

[Weatherman662]

I do feel like we will get more snow over night if that rain over Ireland survives the journey.
