We certainly don’t seem to have as much on the ground here as other places. Maybe just about a cm, probably less. Like the other night, it’s a very sloppy covering so it won’t last long.

But a real surprise anyway.

All rain here, don't know what's going on this winter, the further South and West someone is the colder and snowier it is, complete opposite land.

There does seem to be a shield south and east of Birmingham.... have seen a splattered pavement that has lasted 5 mins but just 5 miles north of me almost angle deep lol

It’s very similar here. Settled well and still coming down moderately (heavy at times)

Edit - 90% snow now & settling already which I’m surprised to see, DP must be below zero?

Almost like a repeat of the other evening but further South, glad some are getting snow. 

Is there colder air coming in following this? Haven't had chance to look properly. If there isn't, then it's absolutely nowhere near cold enough for rain in Staffordshire, doesn't even feel close to snowy. Lots of rain and drizzle here. 

Tomorrow looks okay in the NW of the region, but accumulating snow is going to be hard to come by. Day time, Saturday so the streets and roads will be wet, lots of puddles - just can't envisage it sticking properly unless you get lucky enough for the first shower of the day to be heavy and long lasting. 

Sunday's event continues to drift further south, a clear cut off line around Birmingham for me. 

I'd be quite bullish of some snow though if I lived in SW of the Midlands. Somewhere from Hereford, east to Cambridge is where I'd be looking. 

As much as we have to be thankful of falling snow, there is a hint of frustration that every seems to come with some sort of issue. 

Midweek it poured with rain for hours before the snow came, by which point anything that accumulated (1cm or so) then melted before sunrise. This evening is mostly rain bar the evaporative cooling and that snow will be gone by morning too. Then tomorrow for the NW of the region, you really need sundown and a heavy stream of showers for a covering, unless you are on high ground. It's disappointing when it's only January.

Still, some to get falling snow and a lucky few for a covering this weekend.
