Not Bromsgrove but I saw loads of cars going past my house during rush hour in the morning where they'd only cleared a tiny hole to peep through - rear window fully covered, side windows still mostly obscured, etc.
Its because you are pure fireneed a picture. South west we got some settled drizzle but nothing too impressive beyond coating your boots, being on the coast will do that.
One day I hope to build a snowman instead of a sandcastle on the beach, with a proper blizzard but last good attempt was 2018

Was quite warm earlier, had all the doors and windows open airing the place out. Right until we had a thunderstorm sweep by with a shower of fingernail sized hailstones.

Looks like Hampshire is missing out on the wintery fun again, besides a cool breeze.

But dark cars would be more visible against the snow... right? A white car though...

Not when the road on the motorway is also dark.But dark cars would be more visible against the snow... right? A white car though...

Obviously, I was rather joking, but actually, if the snow was really strong and you were struggling to see through it, most of your vision/windscreen is white and a white car would be least noticeable, no? If there was no snow falling, visibility is fine and it's just the car and its background you're struggling with, you perhaps shouldn't be driving or maybe need an eye test? I mean, any dark car on tarmac is the usual state of things...

Both girls schools closed today (Wirral), mostly as its unsafe for people to get in. Looks like 2-3 inches outside but merseyrail not running until after 9 and roads are slow moving traffic.

I thought we'd seen the end of it but it's coming down quite heavily just now.

Anyone in Birmingham area report on snowfall?
Re. The car colour, issue is dark cars with no lights are harder to see in the mirrors when rain/wet/dirt has splashed onto the mirrors, they're close to invisible.

About 20 miles south, and it's coming down heavily just now.

Anything on ground? Supposed to be clear later and temps are up. Thanks
Soldato
Just a thin coating. Forecast was for rain so it probably won't last long.
Soldato
Yeah one of my work colleagues lives in Dronfield and they have had about 12 inches and most roads are not passable.

I'd struggle to remember any snow falling around Heswall (home) and Calday (school) back in 84-92... Global warming!

It rained quite heavily last night. Woke up to a fresh 3 inches of snow.
Problem is below the snow is ice frozen by rain.
Buses have been suspended. Schools are closed. A major crossroads 1.5 miles from M1 (used by many lorries) closed as lorry skidded and blocked road.
Not going to venture out- along with painful foot, it looks bad.
