Approaching quickly now...

Is the snow still coming? Got a light dusting overnight, but that's all.

Not snowing here and I don't think it did overnight either.

About 1 flake per minute here. But same story, no tangible amount of snow fell over night.

Looks like i'm going to work.

[Macey]

Are we going to get this snow a little earlier than expected? According to raintoday.co.uk it's already over Coventry

[shaky]

Iightest of snow started in leicester!!

[Polar Maritime]

Had snow showers most of the night, light snow blowing around now with a covering of 10cm.

Temp -2.6c

Wind Chill -7.3c

Dew Point -3.7c

it looks like we are perfectly positioned to get some reasonable snow from the west later today , then we get some snow from the east on saturday and sunday , this snow tends to be drier so will settle much more than the wet stuff we tend to get from the west. So we dont need the 10p sized flakes for there to be some further accumalations. Overall it is going to be a very interesting few days , ive just purchased the nw radar , as the raintoday free radar i feel was a bit misleading as to snow potential. it does look like we will remain in a cold spell for the next 6 to 8 days then a brief milder period , before maybe some more snow potential from a NE direction. Finally this could be another winter to remember

Slightly disappointed with the measly half inch we had last night. Completely stopped now although snow is enticingly close in Chipping Norton and Witney but nothing much is making it past Banbury. No school closures in Northants so all kids off to school which has upset my son who was determined that from yesterdays forecast he would be spending the day sledging.....

1 or 2 flakes starting to come down here.

Yes my daughter sent reluctantly off to nursery. Don;t worry though he'll have all weekend to sledge about. :-)

Replying to Rosemary Hobbs Ward. Should have included her message.

This is not looking good! radar green echoes already starting to break up! on east mids weather show a void around Leicester and very light snow then fizzling out by 3. I have to remain positive though I will get 5cm

Not a flake yet this morning. Here in earl shilton. I'll keep hoping though.

Light snow has stopped. Very little if anything at the moment but it won't be long, there will be no one that shouldn't at least see a few cm's.
