>> Simon's Weather Musings << Think this one will be a bust Turning down the snow forecast By Simon Keeling in Wombourne, Staffs 18:00hrs  09/2/2012 Temperature: 0.1C    Weather: Rain Ok, this one may be a busted forecast! Indications are that the snowfall is likely to be far less than originally thought, but the main problem could continue to be ice. On the forecast chart below we have still highlighted an area of 5+cm of snow, but this is likely to be only over high ground. In fact, while lecturing to my Masters students at the University of Birmingham earlier today, we talked about what a finely balanced situation this was. This morning it was tipping towards snow, but this evening it is back to rain and ice. We could see changes taking place again, but to me everything looks a little warm. Which is in contrast to Friday night which is set to be a bone chiller (see below). >> Comments on this story << >> Add your comments below << Your name Email (not shown in posting): Location: Your comment): Security question: What colour is the sky?
