The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards

[kmanmx]

Wind is now a directly straight easterly, which isn't too good for my location as the showers are pretty non existent directly east. Still, had a few decent ones come up from the SE before the change of direction

White out in the last half hour, all white over. Another shower following but it looks bleak on radar thereafter. 

Yeah, I caught the very southerly tip of that which gave a covering but is melting away already...

[NixShep]

looks like a chunk of the midlands miss out on the warnings tomorrow - they are to the north and south of us, missing nuneaton / Hinckley/ Leicester etc.  You couldn't write it!

It's been cloudy all morning, it's way below 0, it's been snowing all morning, heavy at times and still it can't settle. May be the sun but it's funny that other areas having persistent snow and cloud cover don't seem to be the same.

[Chunky Flake]

Is Cannock area set for a decent fall tomorrow or are we too far north ?

Hmm that is very strange Matt. 'andypvfc' just posted a photo of snow which seem to have given a good covering in Stoke?

[Summer of 95]

Heavy snow shower, quickly settled (though most of this morning's cover seems to have survived).

There is a dusting from last night that has partially melted. I'm at work in the town. Maybe it will have stuck more when I get home. There's normally more snow where I live than there is here.

Remember 2010 when it snowed everywhere except Nuneaton, bedworth, and Hinckley?

To be fair mate I work for Sids taxis around the area, quite strange how I get see quite a good covering in Newcastle sometimes and yet get home to Talke and it's clear. Although that pic just was from Home in Talke / Butt Lane. Kind of on the Staffs / Cheshire border, with Alsager 5 mins away.

@MattStoke hmm that could be why then, maybe out of town it has stuck better?

[kmanmx]

Yes 2010 was bad in our location. Didnt get anything really...

[davehsug]

Next mini blizzard incoming! Fun day now.

Ah well, at least it's keeping those sheep of yours safe!

[Matthew Gill]

Give me a PM flow with a slider anyday compared to this shower rubbish from the east. 

[MattStoke]

Full on blizzard. Heaviest snow of the winter. Settling at last!

[RobR]

Showers slow to come in Birmingham. Watching up north at Leek it looks worse.

[V for Very Cold]

Absolute whiteout in Telford currently - could do with a few hours of this!

[Aaki Khan]

If i looked at this Radar without knowing it is an Easterly. Then wow what a NWesterly. (Cheshire Gap Streamer Reversal)

Live In Brum but Currently In Glasgow with 7 Inches Settled already with maybe another 5/6 to come. Beautiful. I am watching my home carefully Hope Thursday Night/Fri smashes the whole Midlands Hard! Enjoy it all. ????

PS: Mr Snowman Pics over the weekend.

When the cloud clears, there's some impressive height to these clouds for so far inland at this time of year.

[Midlander]

Afternoon, I think we’ve got some pretty important 12Z runs, a eastwards and northwards shift would be preferable.

By tonight maybe we’ll have some satellite imagery to analyse?
