need this to happen otherwise I think we will just have to write off today for Nottingham, it was so close as well

On the BBC forecast map this morning this is pretty much how it showed the day panning out, it then went on to give sporadic snow for the East Midlands this afternoon. Radar matching the forecast at the moment.

Heavy snow for 3pm, this could still be game on if it pans out as they suggest

I would love to be where you are as the heaviest of the London snow appears to be taking a track between Northampton and Peterborough for this afternoon !

The band seems to hit the snow sheld and fizzles out before it gets to us

A NW track of Luton - Northampton - Leicester for the London snow looking good to my eyes ...... even if I wish for a Cambridge - Peterborough - Nottingham track !

It can't seem to decide what to do slightly heavier again here. I think 10cm is possible if this is here till 3pm

It has picked up in Coventry and I'm told that's the case in Hinckley. We've done pretty well out of this, I reckon. There will be more opportunities in the coming days the low temperatures mean it won't be going anywhere soon. This will be a great weekend for walking in the snow.

Don't look west ..... look south east (London/Beds) as that's where I think your snow is coming from !

The front appears to be pivoting and moving more northwards. I assume it will be easier for it to move in a more northerly direction as it is under less pressure from the cold block to the east. Im in chesterfield and have been on the edge of the front all morning. So frustrating lol. Fingers crossed for this afternoon.

been snowing since around 9 this morning but still only a few cms in northampton. what we need is a heavy burst for an hour or so otherwise we will only end up with 2cm or so from this.

it has been a blustery powdery snow for hours now but it is slowly adding up. Over 5cm now and still going.

Certainly increased in Kettering in the last ten minutes. Actually looks more like snow now! Need that London stuff to head straight up this way.

Radar shows the weather has just pivoted slightly anti-clockwise, the centre-point seems to be around EMA by the looks of it. Derby/Nottingham definitely look to be in the firing line for this afternoon as things stand.

Quite bizzare in Leicester. The snow is extremely powdery but it's settling. Normally fresh snow isn't slippery but walking conditions are ridiculous. Really slippery!

Agreed-Footsteps in the snow are quickly covered suggesting the powdery stuff is effective!
