what does that mean for us here in Hinckley?

As it slips away s/se we could see a further spell of moderate or heavy snow.

[Summer of 95]

Main band is north of us but still very light stuff coming down, got about 5cm so far let's hope it stays around!

Backbuilding over me!!!!

[Kirk Langley]

Heavy snow now 3 miles north west of Derby

[Josh Rubio]

Looks like it’s back building just south of Leicester.

Hopefully more chances to come 

Colder again February last I looked.

I’m walking down the canal towards Stone. Not had to go far to find today’s heavier snow and more lying snow from yesterday. It’s just as it hits Stoke-on-Trent that it’s giving up.

[pegg24]

Only been snowing an 1 hour 30 and still going well 

[matty40s]

Just started again here, must be pivoting round as the slight wind  is now going East to West

Stone looks like decent, out on my walk soon

[Supacell]

Snow at last in Belper. Lots of tiny flakes but settling nicely. Looks very powdery. Fingers crossed it continues.

[Eskimo]

Almost a shame that Monday's system is modelled to bring patchy rain. If it was heavier, it would sure be snow from evaporative cooling due to entrenched cold.

Only got to Barlaston so far and it’s chucking it down.

[Essan]

Most of the ~1cm snow we got down here in Evesham has melted now.   Still, that's the most we've had since 2018's infamous "Beast"!

And still a chance of another dusting tonight

[beccaboo]

Whooooohoooo!! Finally! Let’s just hope it keeps it up!! 

[Gord]

Still got this snizzle here. Not really doing anything except dampening the areas where the snow as been cleared.

But what a morning. Still not near the levels of 3 years ago in my location, but still really good. 3 inches up here in Gornal I reckon as an estimate.

I don't see the precipitation coming back at us now...but what does it matter? Such such relief to finally get a couple of decent snowfalls in this winter.

I hope those places experiencing rain south and east of London get to join in next month. Maybe their biggest prize is saving itself up for them and they'll end up shaming us all 1987 style!

Well iv heard this by 2 members on hear now, yes it's slowed down and yes it's back built in one area toward Peterborough a bit but I can't see it moving westwards again so can you back this up? I'm hopeful lol

Funny you should say that, I was just on the models thread and I believe some models are now going for a slider with snow. 

 

Arpege I believe is going for this. 

[Josh Rubio]

Still snowing here in Leicester.

[Midlands Ice Age]

Stopped here about half an hour ago. Measured at 7.5cms.

Have a video of the garden but it is too large to load.

Temperature crept up to 1.0C now, but no real dripping just the deep stuff on the branches and leaves are dropping off.

It would seem that the slack area of low pressure is slipping SE over us now.

Winds (what there are) should pick up from the north soon.

[Eye to the sky]

Snowing heavily in Denby.I'm surprised it got this far north!.

[Snowy L]

Heavy snow stopped now after leaving about 6-7cm. Hopefully the stuff over Uttoxeter coming my way on the way south later.

[WorldExplore]

Snizzling near Brum Airport

7cm currently, Possibly hit the magic 10cm when the band begins to drop back down later this afternoon/Evening
