Anything extreme  I like my winters cold and snowy, and my summers hot and thundery. Don't like anything mundane or wet and windy*.

*Would like to experience a hurricane though, and like wet and windy if it's from thunderstorms.

I do like some good hot sun though followed by a good old storm, they seem to be rarer than snow these days, maybe not in stoke though lol

[Winter80s]

Like your style Matt.  Tornadoe chasing in tornado alley 4 spring n winer in yellow stone.  Amazing

[markw2680]

Signs of snizzle at the local lamppost

I've seen some amazing thunderstorms here and in London the past few years. An amazing lightning show in London one night. 3 flashes per second at its peak and it went on for hours. A really intense thunderstorm in Stoke in September 2016. Biblical rain that flooded everything in minutes and lots of CG lightning.

Just begun to snow in Bewdley! Light stuff requiring lamp-post-o-vision for now.

Precipitiation appears to be weakening as it reaches Bham on radar

[Rammie]

Snowing in Kettering.

Yep the data is correct....

But I posted it in here not the MOD. I tend to stay out of the MADhouse as much as possible.

Oops! I lose track...!  Must be snow-dizziness!

[Cov87]

Absloute blizzars here in coventey heavy heavy snowfall omgg

[Winter80s]

1st light snow starting to fall.

[markw2680]

Snowing quite well now

[MattStoke]

Again not sure if much will reach here. Seems to be weakening a lot. Front's will have no trouble getting here once the milder air arrives, of course!

[NixShep]

im going for another walk if it falls here, make the moist of it!

 

we walked to the pub last night and wobbled home, loved it!!!!

[snowqueen1979]

Just starting here ! 

[Rich_T]

Watching this on the radar - it appears to be breaking up just south of Leicester

[BarometerCat]

Snowing here in Hinckley, just starting. no real thaw here today, so let's see what this gives us.

[syed2878]

 lite snow now started here very fine at the moment I wonder if we are going to get another covering before the rain kicks in 

[Arctic Hare]

Throwing it down in Bewdley now! Smallish flakes still, but plenty of them. Just been for a quick walk, just to enjoy the patterns in the lamp-posts and that lovely creaking noise you get when yo walk on snow. Previously cleared surfaces now have a moderate dusting. Another 30 minutes of this will give a thin real covering, I'd say. Temp 0.1 °C.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Some moderate snow blowing around in the wind. ❄️

Clearly you're not getting any as per @MattStoke 

[NixShep]

Is the snow only here for a very short time - I,e minutes or is it likely to carry on for longer until it turns to rain? 

[Snowyowl9]

Wellesbourne airfield has its very own microclimate at 18c currently.

[Midlands Ice Age]

 As others have reported around here it has started as light to moderate.

It is covering all surfaces though pretty quickly.

Looking at the radar, I can see the problem...

 

 

There is no Thames streamer today to help the back building.
