AlanHo Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Just had a surprise - looked out the window when drawing the upstairs curtains and there is a couple of inches of snow on the ground and plenty falling from the sky.If this keeps up in the night it will be very interesting in the morning.

Gandalph Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Snow forecast here as well by tomorrow morning. Already had some about five days ago but it didn't stay long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 It snowed quite heavily in Burntwood after dark, but has nearly all gone now thank goodness. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I had to collect management from Droitwich last evening at 10.30 pm and the M42 was a nightmare. The snow had stuck and was about 2" deep - but the lorries that were on the road at that time on a Sunday were ploughing on regardless - sending up "walls" of slush as they overtook me.By the time I reached Droitwich it was raining in torrents and you could see the snow melting quickly.The journey back home an hour later was a doddle - the motorway was clear. T'was amazing how quickly it changed.This morning it has all gone and there is no evidence of the snow - I wonder if I just dreamed it...?

-pops- Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hail storm here at the moment. The hail stones aren't large (ordinary pea-sized) but there's an awful lot of them. The ground is white as though it has been snowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Gandalf link:-A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "This incident must surely serve as a warning for drivers that winter has arrived and it is vital that they take note of the conditions when they go out on the roads."There is always some pil***ck ever ready to open his mouth and prove to the rest of the world just how big a pil**ck he is.

deuces wild Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I always laugh when our local TV stations make a big deal of the 1st snowfall (like this thread) coming in mid to late November. :lol: Snow in September............Houston, we have a problem. Snow in mid November......expected. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
