Moderate snow again here. Earlier snow melted in strong sun but still that's 13 days total of snow falling.

[WalsallWeather123]

Rain in Walsall

[Summer of 95]

Mixture of snow and small hail currently, no lying snow that I could see earlier the ground was just wet. 

[BleakMidwinter]

Heavy snow gain in Telford - light sleet earlier, but now big pillows with no clear wind direction. 

[BleakMidwinter]

It actually looks like foam flying around - I just went and stared hard out the window and some bits whirling past are well over an inch across, fluffy conglomerations of snow...

[Snowyowl9]

Wind is variable today west or NW.

Makes me wonder whats coming sunday/Monday now looks unusually bitter from the west.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Had a further light snow shower at 4.15 pm

dissspointed with this mornings showers ....

[Kieran]

We had about 15 minutes of drizzle and then 45 minutes of moderate snow which sadly didn't settle. Then it stayed cold and dry throughout the day.

Tomorrow looks horrible but Sunday may give us occasional snow showers if they blow far enough inland from the Cheshire gap...

(GFS is probably overdoing it though)

[MattStoke]

5 minutes of heavy, wet snow. A short blast of ice pellets. Dry for the rest of the day. Rubbish.

‘A’ it.... also possible snow events next Tuesday/Wednesday ??

[MattStoke]

Sunday looks better for a Cheshire Gap streamer and the airmass looks colder.

BBC showing plenty more opportunities for snow next week.

Then we have the potential for bitter cold from the east.

Winter is a long, long way from finished.

[shaky]

Euro4 is a beauty for central and east midlands at 48 hours on euro4!!heavy snow shower streamer setting up from the cheshire gap!!

Absolutely! Totally agree. Get tomorrow out of the way then who knows? Interesting period ahead. 

-1 here tonight with clear sky.

Winds look to be WNW on Sunday, which normally means showers head north of Stoke and those that try to move towards here get killed by the Welsh mountains. Yet the Met Office and BBC both show frequent snow showers here. Hmm. We'll see.

Yep I concur. So annoying watching them band up just to the N of here. 

 

[MattStoke]

The Euro4 model looks good for here though, and for much of the Midlands.

Yep streamer after streamer setting up. Some places in the sweet spot could do well. Also No marginality at all.

Winds too westerly, streamers will be Stockport, moving ESE into Derbyshire
