Waiting impatiently for my cold rain following last night's sleet.

Snow in Buxton? IMPOSSIBLE! 

[Terminal Moraine]

White over with snow now. About 1.5cm lying judging by a look from the window.

[sparky1972]

been amazed as to how much snow we have had here, heavy rain at 7am, now a good inch of snow, getting lighter now so rain is not to far away i fear

[snowangel32]

Rain here. Chance it could turn later.

[Ninman]

Moderate snow here now, starting to stick to the pavements too. My weather apps don't have a clue whats happening, they keep flicking between showing snow and rain every 5 minutes!

Lucky you!horrible sleety rain here!

[Eskimo]

That northwesterly airflow seems to be tearing the system apart somewhat - although this was modelled I suppose. 

[PeteG]

It's been snowing here for a couple of hours and now settling. Grass and roofs turning white(ish).

Yep. Rapidly weakening on approach to Stoke. What little chance I had of seeing snow has gone.

Hey you're lucky only flake here is in a selection box lol.

[Polar Maritime]

White over here, moderate snow continues. Temp 0c

[stipey1]

Looking at the radar I am right on the edge of this pivot and have been for a good hour or two, so close to the white stuff but not too hopeful, just drizzle here. 

[DIS1970]

May take back what said earlier, nothing much happening here, it's starting to weaken & thin out now, so it may just be the old cold light rain, temp at 3.2C so would need to be reasonably heavy for any sleet to fall even.

Yep  you can see the warmer air mixing into the front.  Mainly Rain for here i would have thought    if you look towards leciester  on the radar  you can see how it never really turns to sleet or snow.

Feels like one of those situations if only everything was a little further South. Well done to those of you who have seen some white stuff so far. Not much happening in Solihull. Almost considered taking a train trip to Matlock (but don’t think would have been allowed being in Tier 3)

Yes, been frustratingly on the edge of this all morning. Just very cold light rain here, can't see much more than that occurring.

DItto here. 3C with drizzle. There is only so long you can spend staring at it before acceptance kicks in that nothings doin,..

 

Keeping an open mind and you just never know what might turn later?

Feeling the same. Going to keep my expectations for this afternoon low. Anything more than rain happening will be a nice surprise. 

[Derbyshire_snow]

Had slushy deposits of snow here unexpectedly at my height in the valley was not expecting to see anything we have had our first snowfall today which was heavy for a while.

[snowangel32]

Big mild sector slap bang in the mids scuppered any chance we had. Rain continues here i have given up on this one.

[DIS1970]

Just waiting for some cold wet rain really, like many have said anything else would be a huge surprise. Temp also creeping up - at 3.6C now.

[WillinGlossop]

2-4 inches depending on where it started laying... just back in from walk into Glossop coming down thickly... slushfest in glossop...  no weather warning I see 

surpassed anything we had last winter...

I wouldn't bother. I'll be taking a drive up to Buxton tomorrow morning though.
