Amazing day again here. Must have around 8 or 9 inches of snow here now when you include the snow

we had on Friday. Still snowing aswell.

[mr benn]

BBC and Met Office showing no snow for Birmingham tomorrow .... do you guys agree ?

[nats]

Just been on a dash to tesco express for essentials and have to say I'm now quite worried about people's prospects of getting to work in the morning, mine included, still these tiny flakes coming down quickly and readily covering main roads, if it does get any heavier there are going to be serious problems in the morning!

[Ian Ballinger]

Can't believe it's been snowing since about 9 am and seems we have only had 1-2 CM

[I remember Atlantic 252]

tiny pellet snow here but filling in gaps, feel folks tonight sadly could be our last snow, see how long we can keep it now

[The Wolf]

Can't believe it's been snowing since about 9 am and seems we have only had 1-2 CM

Only has 1-2 cm? Wow. I have had around another 2 or three inches where I am since this morning.

[nats]

Lol West Midlands along with Shetland and Orkney are the only places with NO met weather warning tomorrow?!?!?

[cyclonic happiness]

Went to the local shop earlier and asked if they'd had any panic buying, they said yes they had and that all the bread, milk and eggs were gone.

I then asked how many folk said they'd been sent home from work and the shop keeper said 'most'.

well, correct me if i'm wrong, but I always take sandwiches to work every day and therefore get through a fair bit of bread, but atm i'm on standby, slowly using up this year's holiday pay and I'm not using 4/5 of the amount of bread that i usually do???

So why are folk panic buying bread?? weird??

Panic buy rice or pasta or tins, not bloomin bread lol????!!

[Adzyy]

College in Birmingham is closed. No travelling for me tomorrow. Lie in, woohoo!

[Hathers]

Country file forecast just showed a band of snow over us for Tuesday

Yeah telford probably the extreme NE limit, most areas seeing a dry week

[MKN]

Somewer between 7-8cms here

[CHOCOBLUE]

Hmm countryfile VERY unsure about mild winning next weekend

[Bishop Brennan]

Really??? I was under the impression the Tuesday event had slipped much further south. Things are looking up.

definately potential if the low can push further NE out of wales

[PolarWarsaw]

Strange how some have had inches. My ins had another 1-2CM but anywhere not immediately covered in snow, paths, roads, patios, roofs have virtually completely thawed.

We've had pellet snow falling since 6pm Thursday for all bar 7-8 hours last night.

Imagine totals of that would have come down all at ONCE!

[MKN]

Yeah telford probably the extreme NE limit, most areas seeing a dry week

a week with low pressure always close by ud be unlucky not to some precip id av thought.

[we_want_snow]

STILL snowing in Shrews

This'll go down for me as a memorable day so far in the 21st century here snow wise

Must've had inches today looking at it!

This has been our turn after missing out until Friday (even that was poor here compared to many in West Mids

[Staffordshire]

Just to note - NAE superb with snow acum forecast for today

[Wadey]

What's the NAE charts saying for the next few days ?

Slipping away north even more now. Stourbridge just coming out of the snow according to the radar and we're next. Still managing to come down here though!

It's amazing the differences across the region, hasn't stopped since 9, only started sticking properly after 3! Had it stuck all day I can only imagine the amounts!!!
