Just nipped up top of Ball Green to get some Electricity, hoping to do so before the 'rain' came in, and got absolutely pelted with hail.

Could be!!funny thing is south and east leicester could be worse off at the start of this event before it shifts further north for tuesday!!!

Moderate rain here which is v slowly turning sleety and hopefully to snow by late afternoon/evening. Temp has dropped from 5c to 2.8c in the last hour.

Nah I want long eaton to be even more bad really! I have to drive over to Coalville on Monday morning so am trying to plan whether I actually will be doing or not! 

[Polar Maritime]

All sleet now..

[Dancerwithwings]

Mist and murk all gone and lovely blues skies...  3.6c

[WinterWilf]

Looking forward to the upcoming cold spell.

Pity alot of us seem to be in the wrong place for snow chances.

Nevermind a few crisp mornings and nice frosts will do me.

Anything else will be a bonus. 

3.9c

This is probably the best potential cold spell for a few years now, last year I never seen a flake (maybe a slushy one at 1am under the lamppost if I remember) but so far this year as delivered for most and like you said this cold spell looks good, with ice days projected, but the snowfall is a guessing game atm ....ENJOY ALL

Alton Staffs - Heavy rain has just turned and we now have quite a random heavy snow shower! Sure it will turn back to rain but very random! 

[Fozfoster]

I agree good Cold spell in  coming but very little chance of snow for Warwick

I can confirm  

[MattStoke]

Sleeting in Longton. Here comes the cold!

[Jason74]

If the cold extends past 5 days or so then there's now way anyone can discount the possiblity of snow across the whole of the Midlands.

Turned back to sleetyness here now in Alton but just goes to show how quickly the temps can drop it’s certainly feeling colder out there already! Didn’t record the temps but deffo a drop!

[sheikhy]

Gfs looks fantastic for the midlands tomorrow night into monday!!

[Ryukai]

Sleetyness is slowly changing to a larger snow to rain ratio.  Temps are beginning to plummet now too.  

Currently everything that can be crossed, is crossed, in the hope well get a bit of proper snow tonight.

Looks like it increases the risk of a few showers tomorrow but I still think it will be mainly Monday to Wednesday.
