Meto app says I will have heavy snow from 10pm until 3am, but looking at the NW snow radar I can't see where this is coming from??

The radar echoes are shrinking faster and smaller with each update, i cannot see where the pepping up is going to come from?

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Heavy snow again, moderate sized flakes.

We are still at 0.5'c and -1.4'c dew point, there is a gentle thaw going on, with snow still falling. Surely we should be well below zero by now?

I know it sounds awful, but I wouldn't be surprised to wake up to rain and all the snow melted come the morning

Still fine snow coming down... The sheer weight of over 12 hours of snow is quite apparent and has completely split one of my trees (not in this shot.)

[Gustywind]

Struggling myself to see where 8 hours of heavy snow is going to come from, still showing on Met office site though!!

Exactly the same temp here, thought it would be  below freezing by now

no thaw here -0.5C, stopped snowing though, slight advantage I'm further north, if clear skies reach me, could be -5C

[Walsall Wood Snow]

It's snowing quite heavily here at the moment. Don't know how long it might last though?

[snowqueen1979]

Coming down heavy here now. Seems to spot on with met office let's see about the next few hours and what it brings. 

[Spah1]

Just popping in from the North West thread to see how everyone got on. 

Animate this

Looks to me like there is a bit of a fresh injection into the band and will keep snowing for several more hours. 

Nice one. 

[Diamond Joe]

Snowing heavier again, although not heavy, covered me car again after id cleaned it off lol 

Cant remember last day it snowed all day

[Sweatyman]

Ana taking a different track and rain in france way to early i hear. Could be interesting? Maybe not!!!

[The Wolf]

The snow still comes down here! This is epic

and Stafford, cos of 'ealth and safety, never did it when I was a bairn, and these events then were common, only time we got sent home was 19th Nov '96

Yes, but more people lived within emergency-walking distance of their work then. It only becomes a problem when all the school staff and caretakers, etc., live where they must use a vehicle to reach their work. 

[Fozfoster]

Still snowing....... just that’s 17 hours. World record for Warwick lol??❄️❄️❄️❄️

[Midlands Ice Age]

Snowing  moderately again now.

I tend to agree - where is it coming from?

However my temps are still OK  at 0.0C and the dew point is at -1.0C

And just as I read that it reached me!

[chillyblast]

No snow here, not for a while, it says light snow from 9pm but not holding my breath.

Up at 6.30am to drive to work, should be ok. (south).
