Any more tonight guys or is this it? The snow that fell earlier is now starting to freeze it’s going to be an icy one tonight.

It’s been snowing here for over an hour but it’s doing nothing other than a sprinkle on cars and grass... another thoroughly disappointing spell...

And now it’s stopped , honestly don’t know why I psych myself up. Awful winter full of disappointment here.

Good couple of cms fell earlier, was amazing around 7.30, looks a bit messy out there so could be a smidge of a thaw tonight? but expect the temps to drop now.

this is only the 2nd event for Hinckley - if you call it that!  so pretty to see, came quick and the grass is covered, but melting already.  Our first event was before new year, but the snow melted very quickly then too.  

Yes its lovely to watch falling which it has done here on 5 occasions here this winter.But it doesn't settle.My 6 year old son  is so gutted as he is yet to go sledging make a snowball or snowman this winter.

Arome has greatly increased the snow shower risk for tomorrow having hardly shown anything until now. Yet to see what it shows for Sunday.

Please please let it be , before winter goes t##s up.  

[MattStoke]

AROME and Aperge both take Sunday’s snow further south.

I’m confident that by Monday we might have model agreement.

Massive kudos to Chris Faulkes who last night called this evenings event for the midlands

They don’t get into the Midlands.

Harmonie is in between most of the models. It has snow for the South and Central Midlands.
