Snow this morning as predicted by the BBC, why all the surprise?

[Frank Butcher]

The cam is down so I can't tell how much snow he has but looking at the radar the W Midlands is taking quite a battering

[gmoran]

Its been snowing moderately here since lunchtime, not sticking on pavements as it's too wet, but doing better on grass and gravel

[Frank Butcher]

Blizzard conditions in Walsall according to my mate so you might get loads more as Walsall not far away from Birmingham

Walsall is to the west of us though, and the weather is coming from the east. We've had some nice snowfall here, it's just been too wet on the ground. I wish we had time to go to the clent hills today, but we don't :-(

Definitely crossed the boundary from sleet to snow now, but I'll be amazed if much settles- everything is sopping wet

[Callie]

Snow at around 10.30am all the way from Nutley in East Sussex to Gatwick!! It was laying very nicely as well

[Snow storm]

Snowfall on the South Downs. I drove there this morning (but i didnt have my cam), I will return with pictures. There has been only wet snow here, so its time to run to the hills!

Light snow at home in Walsall from about 12pm. Snow heavier from approximately 1220pm onwards. About 1cm on the car when I left for work at 1250pm.

Here in Birmingham it has been snowing on and off since I arrived here at 1320. Currently snowing lightly at 1425.

TM,

HNY.

Doesn't the "not particularly heavy" go without saying nowadays?

Too true, Stratos. I'd have to look back through my records to find the last occasion when there was sustained heavy snow, I certainly can't remember it.

Very light snow continues to fall here and above 300m the ground is white with a thin covering which I will measure, if it still exists, when I go out to do the observations at 1800. It certainly isn't more than 1cm, other than by the horizontal measuring method.

snowing here (just north of Hereford). Not sticking yet, but it's only been about 10 minutes, it's probably too wet to stick anyway, still here's hoping

[SP1986]

moderate sleet here, temp too high for snow though

few snowflakes in there now

[conor123]

Got back from a sleety alton towers.

Blizzards here

[fordy]

Well i can take heart from reading through here that alot of people have had snow but it has'nt stuck so im not the only one thats had this . Abit of drizzle early this morning which turned to sleet and then full on snow from 11:00am to 1:30pm heavy at times and just when it started to thin out it pept up again ocastionally. Not bad shame it did'nt stick.

[Summer of 95]

Just starting to settle on the lawn now

Anyone in mid Wales? I'm driving through there this evening, would like an idea of the conditions.

[Bill]

The rain of 15 minutes ago has now turned to snow. Obviously its not settling yet.
