[Chunky Flake]

Covering in Cannock and still falling . Any ideas how long it's meant to snow for ?

[Supacell]

Only a very light dusting here but the hills are white so will be taking a walk/drive up there soon

[WillinGlossop]

1-2cm light snow atm....  arome has gone mental for the hills around here saying 30-35cm over highest parts 400-600m upto sunday 7pm....

[Snowyowl9]

Got a slight covering so far wind now from the north,temps not that low though at 0.3c.

Wait for the wind to swing back east get much colder.

Regarding the radar Stafford seem to be doing nicely ATM

[mother nature rocks]

Light snow falling here. Nice to see but at this rate we should get a covering by next winter.

For the last few hours have watched the snow go right round the edges of my area Snow shield working well today.

[markw2680]

Some bigger flakes now at last no sign of a thaw....

..yet

[MattStoke]

Been snowing lightly all morning 

[Gustywind]

Still snowing lightly here but not adding to the small covering we had overnight. 

[markw2680]

Still snowing here and no sign of a thaw it's actually settling really well, surprised people further north are reporting rain and sleet. Very strange

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate snow here now.

[mother nature rocks]

Flakes are certainly getting bigger now. Definitely heavier to. Still no settling tho.

[shaky]

Is it me or am i seeing that snow line retreat back north and west from east anglia!!maybe importing colder dew points than forecasted from the netherlands!!

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Been snowing lightly all morning. There's a dusting, but it's already thawed on some surfaces such as pavements, but still a covering on grass, cars and roofs.

Us in northants had nothing all morning actually missing it looking at radar it gets near us and then fizzles out.

[Terminal Moraine]

3cm of snow here with the temperature currently at -0.1c. Snowing lightly all morning.

Shropshire back to its old tricks. Absolutely nothing, snow in Birmingham and Wales, radar says it's snowing but nothing fell. Good old Salop weather shield.....

Edit. Looking closely it is doing something. It's effing well RAINING. What it is with this county????

[WillinGlossop]

Lightish snow fizzled to nothing now eventhough radar says rain/snow.....1c  1-2cm.... hills above 400-450m look to have a full covering.... 

[The Wolf]

Horrible snizzle now. Had a slight covering but a load of rubbish in reality. Will all be gone in no time. What has happened to winters in this country?

Rain being reported in Cheshire/Lancashire too so at least I'm not alone... but why? How? Uppers support snow. Is it cause the winds turned Nly and northerlies mean milder temps no matter what? But why only us and Cheshire/Lancs?

[Gustywind]

We are certainly well overdue a decent snowfall, been over 4 years since ive seen a measurable 5cm+ snowfall, which is a record for my 43 year lifetime. Don't think I went more than 2 years before 1990!
