Snowing moderately here again, with decent size flakes! For the first time today though, the radar is reflecting what it actually falling Hoping for another hour of this, before the band slips away Southwards.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

You got anything falling @MattStoke, flurries following main band, perhaps so light though, as nothing falling

Was looking at that as some light precip developing along a line and with the precip set to move south east when it finally clears it would head back across most of the midlands

Ah nuts! Dying a death round Brum now. Holes everywhere

Yeah, this evenings snow seems to have been a bit more hit and miss to be honest, a little top up here but nothing massively to shout about, was snowing sideways. Still 8cm today; not bad!

[mother nature rocks]

Snow picked up here now - larger flakes too

Nope. Not a flake since the Amber warning was issued. In fact, the sky is clearing.

[WinterWilf]

Was great here overall after slow start many hours of falling snow. Fair amount on the ground.

Best we have seen for many years have a good night all.

Be safe,  not looking forwards to roads tomorrow morning.

Down to very thin snizzle here now. I reckon we had another cm or two, replacing that which melted slightly during the day, as the depth is 7 cm -- identical with the first lot. Temperature dead on freezing.

[weirpig]

Front clearing  now   temps will start to fall  and will probably be like a glass bottle in the morning   just under 13 cm here    a very good event 

[Gord]

All finished here.

Well, that was a really decent event today.

4th only to December 2017, March 2018 and the daddy of them all, March 2013 since I moved to Upper Gornal in 2012.

So yeah, what can I say? 
 

Job done and a long wait well rewarded.

Good idea   my house backs onto the beacon    loads on there 

[Essan]

Now snowing again in Evesham; hopefully have a dusting before the frost sets in

[snowhope]

I am south of Worcester, hoping to see a few more flakes, most of the 4cm we had earlier melted as the temps raised. 

[Mark Bayley]

Brief snow flurry here. Hopefully this band can clear quickly and let temperatures drop!

how many CM would you say we have had here in Hinckley?  It looks loads but dont think we have reached the 13 cm Leicester are reporting!!

Could be as much as that today easily up in Burbage. Good covering!

[cyclonic happiness]

starting to finish here now, we've had around 8cm, so it's been great considering yesterday afternoon we had practically no chance

Given that was at britania fields before this evenings snow id say we have had 7/8cms. 

[fizz511]

Pretty much stopped here too.

Took this pic earlier - knew there was a reason I left my Christmas garden lights up

[weirpig]

I'm sure  some may have more  but not bad in my back garden

Ps excuse photo  couldn't find back door key  had to balance on work top 

Front of house also not bad  seeing as the road is a bus route and was gritted at 3pm

been a good event, Coventry Road is a whiteout!  Any more predicted, Met office says heavy snow but seems to have stopped.. hope for a but more, may go for another walk if it does!  Been out in it most of the day haha - walked 12km! 

[pegg24]

Finally stopped after 10 hours I am thinking it is probably around 7 inches or 8 inches here

Think that's our lot for Hinckely, think we have about 6cm prob. I will take that. Would have been nice to get the 12cm some others have had bit further north and east but we can't grumble at all 

[RobR]

Nice heavy shower tonight to top up the trodden down bits of the day on the paths and recover some roads and we've topped out at about 8-9cm. Maybe 10cm in parts but I don't think we quite mad it. Right onto Spring...
