[Matty23]

Looking at euro4 snow still here in west mids at 6pm tonight 

[Ian Ballinger]

It seems to be breaking up on the radar now

[damianslaw]

Yes today event reminds me of Dec 8 1990, very similiar but a bit further south than then. Pleased to see may places are getting lots of snow, great timing if you like cold snowy conditions in the run up to christmas and on a Sunday - a bonus for kids. Hope everyone is enjoying it.

The snow will also stick through tomorrow and into Tuesday, so quite a few schools are likely to be closed tomorrow.

Up here in the Lake District - at least we have some nice snowy fells to look at.

Just saw a very strange sight in the snow. There was actually a live fly on top of it. It was completely still apart from one leg which was twitching.

[Weatherman662]

In 9 minutes the temperature has raised 0.2c. why?

We've got 4" of snow already, and judging by the radar, it's going to keep coming for hours and hours!! 

I am restored!!!

Thank God it's Sunday with all roads not good, public transport all over the shop, airports shut and even the M1 closed!!!  it would be a nightmare if this was a work day.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

yes, rivals 18th Jan 2013 this, lighter here now though

[Rich_T]

Snow band appears to be breaking up, looks like it will soon stop altogether

[DIS1970]

Yep, getting lighter here now, can't see this lasting all day. It's just another (not classic) but still Met-Office cock-up.

[swipe]

It has stopped here now. Off out for a walk and to take some pics.

[Am7]

Temps must be rising as snow is beginning to slide off cars

[RobR]

Sun is out here with about 2cm around. Poor show for us. Birmingham/Solihull look battered though, all buses suspended.

[weirpig]

StI'll persistent snow in Dudley  looking good more rest of afternoon however radar becoming more broken up 

[WalsallWeather]

Yep, definitely breaking up now. Still snowing for now though.

[landslave]

[mother nature rocks]

Still steady snow in Worcester. Still thinking it will pep up in an hour or so!!!

MetOffice have played an absolute blinder. It's a warning area to be prepared, and many in that area have received exactly what the MetO predicted.

Well played to them.

[SalopWatcher]

No sign of a let up here in Shrewsbury! Looks like as the low moves away the more intense stuff over Wales is being dragged out way. We shall see. 

[Serendipity]

Hi guys, been a long time! we have had a lot of snow here, still going now but significantly lighter and the snow is thawing, I can see it dropping off the bushes and some areas on paths etc are turning quite slushy. Seen the first couple of cars brave our road, not that I plan to at the moment as routes in and out of Stratford aren't great I hear. Not looking promising for a snow day for my teens tomorrow so they are not happy!

[fizz511]

Hi Serendipity! 

I was just thinking I hadn’t seen you post for ages....

Good to see the Stratford Snow Shield finally buckled eh? ??
