Lol not quite the dumping I was hoping for 

[Fozfoster]

just rain 

[andy_leics22]

Well, the rain turned to snow for a brief time about an hour ago in a heavier burst. It has turned back to rain now though as the intensity has died down. What a let down

Thats your 50/50 you had snow & rain

 

you are about 20 -30 miles from heavy band & the band of snow is a further 30-40 miles in depth >75M ideally

[Fozfoster]

To be honest Andy its a winter to forget, did I call it winter!! Lol

[MattStoke]

Sleet has finally stopped. Now it’s raining.

Oh well glad some further south are getting. Snow

[markw2680]

Flakes are finally getting bigger but seems to melt as quick as it settles 

[Terminal Moraine]

Another covering of snow here this morning, though not quite as much as yesterday judging  by a quick look out of the window. Perhaps 3-4 cm

The annoying thing is, it's around 1c out there yet it's raining. That's how close we are to seeing snow! I think that's what makes it worse

[Snowyowl9]

Another covering of snow but slightly more to yesterday so 1 inch trees are covered, most snow since mid december.

Stopped altogether and sun coming out, feels way too warm for snow. 

[Turnedoutniceagain]

Probably end up more than today lol

[markw2680]

Wet snow again here now. It’s just not quite cold enough in this crap winter

[syed2878]

f all here never mind snow not even sleet here by Aston villa football club it sumbs up this crappy winter 19/20 and now I see the Met has issued a yellow warning for wind for Saturday.

[Andypvfc]

. Well at least it seems the majority missed out on any Snow, not just us Stokies.

Oh well onto next Winters snow shield around my house lol.

As Matt says, Stoke really is a strange place, yeah we may get the odd cm, but we are always either too far North or too far Stoke for any major Snow events.

Well, not a flake in Solihull! Starting to feel like everyone else in the country has had some snow this winter except us...

[BlueHedgehog074]

Definitely one of the worst Winter’s I’ve known for snow. Was hoping there would at least been some falling snow, but the Solihull snow shield was too strong even for that. (Sleet at best at one point). 

Perhaps March might throw out a surprise for those of us wanting the white stuff. But even then, wouldn’t mind some warmer, drier, weather too.
