Revoltingly slushy wet sleet is splatting against the windows now in TF3 - from the south/south-east. 

Really, really glad I'm now in cosy pyjamas and tucked up in bed with a hot water bottle - not ill, just knackered and decided to abandon housework in favour of knitting in bed! Gives me a grandstand view to the S/SW and a lamp-post for later...

[cyclonic happiness]

Dew point -1.9'c here and temp' is 4.7'c , so hopefully we may get a bit of wet snow later

[snowangel32]

Still bone dry here although met say snow and sleet tonight.

[Wadey]

Snow

[Skyraker]

The odd big flake mixed in.

You can see on the radar the cold air undercutting.

Splendid stuff.

[cyclonic happiness]

dew point dropping, now -2.4'c from -1.9'c half an hour ago!!

[Jason74]

Light wet snow here in Netherton. For about the last 20 minutes or so. 

[fizz511]

Sigh. Not a speck of anything here

[stripeyfox]

Just came out of the gym. Nothing here yet in Melton Mowbray

 

[BleakMidwinter]

Stopped now but was chucking it down at a harsh 45-degree angle for ages in Telford TF3... 

About an inch lying, I think, including on wet tarmac car-park after heavy rain earlier. Looks pretty wet, but am not going out to find out! 


 

[nobble]

Snowing last half hour on and off

[snowangel32]

Snowing last 10 minutes here. Light so far but still nice to see

[snowqueen1979]

Nothing here in Birmingham south still dry. Showing heavy rain for here later according to Met let's see what happens good luck all for seeing some of the white stuff....it's what we have been waiting for! 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Very light snow here in Walsall. Any chance the precipitation will get heavier around the Bham area?

Moderate snow in Stoke now, settling readily, already a covering.
