Derby has had no snow all year, really thought we would miss out again but these wash streamers are the gift that keeps giving. Another one inbound now ??

Just measured window ledge 2 inches currently (city centre) still falling ,lightly though. All that is from tonight, obviously not huge amounts but looks great and very orange with light pollution. I think Lincoln/Grantham will have some really decent totals.

From pithers and snizzles we now have a proper streamer in Chilwell at long last! Maybe 2 hours more to come - first for yonks and a first ever for me at -6C! Reminds me of the first dumping on Boxing Night 1962  So far nearly 4" (don't get me ranting about centimetres) from zilch. Regardless of Friday/the weekend, this'll do me! Looks wonderful and quiet outside, as does my large Jameson's inside...

The Leicester snow shield is on full power still, I took this photo only 5 minutes ago... When I say we have no snow, I mean we really have no snow at all!!!! LE3 0BB

Looks like some nr that curb over there lol. Either way lets hope things pep up and continue heading towards leics over next few hours.

We can hope...

18z Euro 4 is a shocker. An absolute shocker.

Looks to me like Nottingham has gone from zero to hero, hit the absolute jackpot tonight. Constant streamer for the last couple of hours, with more orange echoes on radar currently. Probably got some of the highest totals in the midlands now. 

Dont know about that yet, 15 to 20 cm here, drifts on the tops roads 3 to 4 feet.

had the snow plough on the A619. clearing drifts

Looking at the radar over europe the closest for getting the PPN right for this time period seems to be the GEM

[DIS1970]

That bundle of shower activity to the east does "at the moment" appear to be thicknening up at little.

It may be broken soon looking at the radar. Based on that picture even a couple of cms would be a big improvement.

[Derbyshire_snow]

-7 with -12 Windchill and Snow falling wow never thought i would see that happen unbelievable have about 15cm+ where the wind hasn't got to it.

What's happend to this Storm Emma thought we were in line for a direct hit?

[marksp]

we need to have faith in Chris Fawkes and the easterly shift in ppn.

 

he,s gonner be a hero, or I want him reprimanded, 

[MattStoke]

Met Office yellow warning for tomorrow extended to cover here. Risk of snow showers in the morning. 

[Arctic Hare]

A total of 1cm here, with 2cm drifts! I still stand by what I said a few days ago, that I'm okay with missing out on decent snow depths here if people who didn't get it in December have more luck. As @Herefordweather says, though, don't look at the 18z Euro4 if you're of a sensitive disposition. It's bad news for pretty much the entire region, and would make tomorrow/Friday's snow almost entirely a SW England/S Wales affair.

Still light snow here, but it is slowly increasing.

 

[FENDER.]

Must be close looking at the radar especially if wellesbourne has snow. Radar doesnt show much that far west. If the whole band keeps or increases intensity may pick up a bit overnight.

[Matthew Gill]

Lmao there is the triangle again. It always happens
