Really coming down now here

[syed2878]

 only a few snow showers this evening nothing noteworthy to be honest just left everything wet in stead of white 

[Summer of 95]

Another snow shower just gone through

[MattStoke]

That was a good shower. Covered everything. Shame showers are so few and far between here. A few more like that and we'd have a good few cm.

A decent snow shower at last. Slight covering. 

A few flakes in the wind in Bucknall, but cars coming down from Werrington all have a covering on the roof.

[Sparkiee storm]

Just came across this, looks good for the North of the region, and like it says could move further north or south, fingers crossed

[Midlands Ice Age]

Icy here following on from the earlier sleet/snow shower.

Temperature at +1.3C with a biting wind.

 

MIA

Yep same here, these could come and go anywhere, anytime by the looks of it.

[MattStoke]

Not quite Christmas card scenes. More like a sprkinling of icing sugar. Nice to see more proper winter weather though.

[weirpig]

Winds really got up. And radar seems to have sprung to life

Yeah, as by the looks of things its coming again, they even intensify inland a little, at least some of them do I have noticed.

[Ms Rock & Blues]

Coming down thick & fast near Tutbury. Roads covered & garden white! Excellent ?

Yeah was going to say we had yet another one shortly ago but was coming down quite heavy again. Still nothing more than a thin slightly slushy covering though as its still wet. Nice to see some white out there nonetheless.

[Summer of 95]

Another snow shower, quite big flakes blowing nearly horizontal in the wind.

Nowadays in the late 2010s, overnight dustings from brief snow showers are appearing as a bonus that comes free with the main snow events. In the mid 2010s they actually *were* the main snow events....

I did see that one too but didn't last as long and yeah I agree any white is a bonus to us from what we have had this winter

Woke up to a sugar dusting nothing more. Put this one down in the failed category for the Met.

[RobR]

Not sure what happened overnight, but around 2am it was frozen solid with a dusting of snow and at 4.30am when I woke it had melted and was damp and the temp was 2C. Wasn't expecting that for sure! Bit of a dud otherwise.

[Polar Maritime]

Snowing here just now with a covering of snow.

[nobble]

5 years ago today my father passed away and as then the snow     Came ....

[Sweatyman]

Hopeless . Sod all

[I remember Atlantic 252]

patchy dusting, but all to be expected at low levels

[Summer of 95]

Still got the dusting from earlier, the temp did creep up after about 3am but the dewpoint stayed down and the skies cleared.

 

[MattStoke]

No snow left at all. A shower of very wet snow melted it all.

[Terminal Moraine]

Haven't been outside yet but there looks to be about 3 cm of lying snow here after earlier showers.
