It's snowing

Been watching cars try and climb a hill on my street and slide back down all day! Best was a huge transit slide backwards and take out a lampost.

Snow hit Walsall about an hour ago, it wasn't sticking at first but it's started sticking now, it's coming pretty damn hard and fast (ooooeeer) few centimetres already.

Well, into our 8th hour of constant rain here. The MET Office officially sucks. :mad:

Not seen a single flake here in the west mids.

this winter sucks.

Havent had even enough to make a snowball yet and all the news has been for weeks is 'snow disruption!!!'

Dudley (west mids) has got a nice covering now, tempted to find a deserted car park and go for a spin

Indeed. Dunno how slippy it will be though, looks a bit powdery. Where are you going?

The car park down by the centre of town on constitution hill seems to be relatively obstacle free

Still just rain, flood warnings would have been closer.

i want to see some snow this year.

The problem here is it just isn't getting a chance to melt. It's only snowing a few inches at a time but the temperature isn't getting above freezing for it to melt. Today it got up to -4 but it's dropped to -12 again :/ Glad I took this week off work, too many idiots are still driving like it's summer time. I mean it's -4 and they think they don't need to change their driving to accomodate the weather conditions. I went out for a walk this morning it was freezing but very pretty...

...and this nosey little chap followed me up the riverbank for quite a while
