met office radar struggling to get on that.

Was looking at Net weather radar. I agree it’s not clear, but the intensity here hasn’t dropped like other places into north midlands.... yet! 

[Eye to the sky]

The snow has more or less stopped here now just north of Derby and the flakes were very small at best.Seems we were right on the northern edge of the system here with a pathetic 3cm of lying snow at best.

Wind eased off since earlier bigger flakes of snow now,wind turned more NE.

[WalsallWeather]

Snow is quite light now. Gritting company will not be out until later as they expect another dumping after 12? Not sure how they've come to that conclusion! 

[syed2878]

snow still coming down here.

[weirpig]

Euro 4 at midnight 

[nobble]

Still we have light snow moderately falling 

[mozza81]

15cms here in Sedgley, nearly stopped now....is there much more to come

Best snowfall since March '13

[Raynee]

Slowed down alot now, but still coming down none the less. Here are some pics from 10.30am. In the last one spot the yellow snow.....a bit like wheres Wally. Dogs were having none of it 

[phil nw.]

A decent event so far.

11cms but looking around the thread this seems fairly modest compared to some.Good to see families enjoying this on the fields at the rear of our street.

Stay safe and enjoy everyone.

Yep you should start to see the pivot radar showing precipitation moving up 

[Ian Ballinger]

Will the pivot keep the snow going here in Telford?

I said this earlier that the BBC TV weather was say that heavier fall for Wales and the West Midlands still to come and maybe this is what they were referring to ?

It was obvious even yesterday this would happen and it did but they still insisted on an amber. Maybe the very south west of Staffs is bad near the Shropshire border but everywhere else is fine.

Even on the border there was only about 3cm extra this morning

[markw2680]

It does seem to be getting a little heavier again

[neil_b]

Same - 400m of knee high snow with drifts 2-3ft deep.  Not going anywhere until a tractor comes down.

I don't see where they got that info from, it's stopped here now, and that radar shows that empty space growing with every frame.

[Polar Maritime]

Snow has fizzled out here but yes agree the front will pivot West to East bringing further snowfall into the evening from early afternoon onwards. You can see this on the BBC graphics

[Ian Ballinger]
