[XENA]

Yes its still bad here and been constant for the past hour, like I said even main roads now have a white coating, the question is can we hold it as snow

I'll be doing that on my way home. Snowing very heavy up here and has been since 10ish. No sign of it stopping and the sky still dark. Front stalling?

Hopefully. We normally do quite well in marginal snowy events this side of the M1 ... dont know why?? Slightly more elevation i think :-)

It certainly doesn't look like turning to sleet.

From the radar you should be in the heavy stuff in Heanor at the moment, but it still seems to be pushing through (it looks like it has cleared Ashbourne). As far as South Notts goes, the further south you are the warmer the air is likely to be this afternoon, so it may not be so bad there later on.

i live in semilong northampton , a 10 minute walk to the town centre , we have had very heavy wet snow , but it hasnt settled , the snow is turning more to sleet now. still heavy though. interesting you say the snow has settled less than a mile away from where i live.

[snow freak]

very pleased with the current snow event so far. about 1 inch lying snow and its still coming down. just hope it doesn't turn to sleet now this afternoon. would be nice to keep the snow covering we have for the rest of the week

[snow freak]

i live near semilong too ,but in our back yard we have about an inch of lying snow and it is still snowing (not sleeting) how can you say you have no snow? I have the videos and pictures to prove it

[JonMillar]

Ruler in garden wall depth now 4.5cm up from 3.5cm an hour ago.

[Bottesford]

Really coming down now with massive flakes and sticking properly.

[Racing Green]

Turned very thin and wet in Heanor now.

[Macey]

Is it just me, or does it look like it's pepping up as it exits Birmingham? www.raintoday.co.uk

[Ryan05]

Still going strong in Nottingham, so far today the city is doing very well out of this snow event so please no sleet or worst still rain to spoil it

[Racing Green]

Very thin now but looks like we're approaching the back end, may well be sleet/rain for a short time before it clears up.

[cyclonic happiness]

Quite a thaw going on here, should stop soon though.

Snow has passed now with 6cms so for once im happy lol

[Turnedoutniceagain]

No respite here - still honking down

[marksp]

well finally stopped here, what a great morning, been to Ashbourne, Wirksworth, and Middleton tops, mostly between 8 to 12 cms.

[Racing Green]

Light sleet/rain now in Heanor but it will be stopping very shortly. Leaving a good amount to freeze tonight as well.

[snow freak]

still chucking it down here in northampton town. nice inch or so of the white stuff lying now. hopefully won't turn to sleet. doesn't look like it will.

[jimben]

still steadily falling in Moulton but more sleety DP -0.8c and T 0.3c

[kev f]

Eased right off in coalville now and got light drizzle in with the flakes. don't think it will do too much damage to the cover tho. would think the fronts about cleared now but i can't check the radar

[Racing Green]

Stopped in Heanor. Bit of a thaw going on but not too drastic. Will be interesting how cold it gets tonight.

[Ryan05]

still snowing in Nottingham
