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.

Last year, all Stoke had mate, partic on the Staffs Cheshire border was 1 quick Snow shower, so this year was actually better as the shower this year lasted 30mins longer

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

 don’t worry fizz511 we hear in Aston didn’t get any snow this winter either as I said earlier it sumbs up this crappy winter never mind a flake not even sleet here today.

Sunny but very windy, up to 5C. Why the snow around Herts/Beds but rain either side of it? Normally the northern edge of the band would be the place if it was marginal. Was that the only place that got it heavy enough for evaporative cooling

Another brief heavy snow shower in Stoke, predicted temperatures were 4-5c but the OAT is 2.8c

[Josh Rubio]

These Atlantic storms provide us with more excitement than the recent (lack of) snowfall across our region

(Not the disruption associated with it of course)

Big wet flakes here, but no sign of it sticking despite the frost earlier.

Sleeting in Coventry 

[BarometerCat]

Just drizzle here in Hinckley. Wondering if sleet over Cov will make it this Far East?

[marksp]

moderate snow falling, great. driving up to Foolow at 9.30.

300metres

Still snow, some 50p sized flakes, slushy cover on the card and trying to stick to the grass/sponge without melting instantly. It's giving it a go....

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Wet snow, unecpected really, especially as by 8pm will be up to 12 degrees

[shaky]

Looks like euro4 could have been on the money here all this time!!euro4 was getting kinda slated last night for going crazy and showing snow for this morning but it wasn't as mad was it now!!

[MattStoke]

Moderate wet snow in Stoke.

Don't forget all the surrounding villages and hamlets 

[BlueHedgehog074]

Just sleet here, but better than if the front just started as plain oil’ rain.

[davehsug]

It is irrelevant what the temperature is after the front, it is what is ahead of the front that determines what the precipation type is.
