Driving down the M6 there was lots of snow falling and blowing but not settling much.

[Serendipity]

Just drove through bloxwich and it's very localised as there's even more snow here !!

[wednesburybaz]

quite shocked to have to brush snow off car this morning as I wasn't expecting anything until midday

not freezing though definaty above zero

[Sweatyman]

Bonus covering in Bournville and snowing nicely now

[BarometerCat]

Snowing here now, settling too. What's it like up Derby way? Will be heading that way to work shortly

Yep, came down pretty good for a time earlier around Bloxwich/Leamore area, some flakes were huge too.

[shaky]

Light snow leicester!!temp -1!!band looks okay intensity wise to the north west!

[Sparkiee storm]

The front still looking pretty decent, I have a sneaky suspicion some of us could do pretty good today, we will see  

[MattStoke]

Not a sausage in Stoke. All the flurries last night missed here. Meanwhile, the front is moving more slowly and looks to arrive later than had been expected. Automated forecasts have downgraded the snow for here at the last minute, as usual. From 6 hours of snow to 1 hour.

A good dusting in Tf3 here in Telford itself - all the cars have gone completely white and it looks like I'll be busy for a good wee while with the scraper getting us safe to drive...  
Nothing falling, sky is bluey-pink with fluffy peachy clouds. Very pretty but not as pretty as lowering copper-grey heavy snow-filled clouds would be!

[Polar Maritime]

Around 2cm here with temp below freezing, A very cold night to come tonight especially over the snowfields.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

covering of snow here! band still way off here yet though, probably fizzle out

Same here zilch at the moment  radar has me under precipitation but alas nothing 

[BlueHedgehog074]

Selfishly hoping the front arrives here (if it makes it in one piece) before it gets dark later on, as I much prefer watching snow fall during the daytime rather than at night!

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Got a thin sugar coating here that I was pleasantly surprised by when I drew open the curtains. Hope we get some more though.

[Staffordshire]

Nothing here, and the band of ppn as expected, very weak and dying off.

it is weak, seems to be coming in from NNE, flurries probably NE of here

[davehsug]

First contact! Snowflake seen.

[Essan]

a handful of small flakes drifting slowly to the ground in Evesham - should get a slight dusting if this keeps up all year  

[WalsallWeather123]

What does everyone think. Will the ppn make it across the midlands or fizzle out? If so, how heavy will any snow be?
