This is crazy. Despite having 4 hours of rain before this turned to snow, it's already settling on cars and the shed roof!

Still very wet here on the ground but 2degrees

[matty40s]

Heavy sleet now in Daventry area

...Northants.

[Vmistry]

Back to light rain here with the odd flakes mixed in. lol even in an early easterly the west mids are probs going to do better than the east mids. West mids 100-1 East mids

[Adzyy]

It's turning here... heavy wet flakes.

It'll turn in a minute. It was rain here for ages and then it turned to snow when the heavier burst got here.

It's gonna blow up in this thread soon when that band reaches the Birmingham and West Mids area the extra elevation around there will help, as well.

[Rickent]

light rain still in Syston.

[jimben]

Heavy snow in this part of Northants settling on grass and path

[snowangel32]

Dry as a bone here. Glad you guys in the East are seeing some.

[WelfordRd]

Back to rain in Hinckley

[JOPRO]

yes mate, at Harris near Ally.

[Adzyy]

Absolutely lashing it down here, not seen heavy snow like this for years.

[Georgina]

Stopped for a while but it’s started again now with really big heavy flakes ! The winds picking up also

[WelfordRd]

Trying to turn again in Hinckley 

[andy_leics22]

Apologies for the rubbish video quality. My phone's camera isn't the best It's a shame this only started at the back edge of that band we have a dusting now but it'll be over on about 10 mins. Still, good to see and it bodes well for anyone West of here!

[Vmistry]

How is it still sleet here but everywhere else is snow now, arghhhh I hate Leicester

[Ms Rock & Blues]

I have just rain

Feel your pain! 

[WelfordRd]

Snow now in Hinckley, pretty wet stuff

It hasn't turned in 'Inckleh?! You're only about 25 miles North West of me Surprised at that. I'm also surprised that Leicester hasn't got snow but we have. The cold air is supposed to be moving down from the North East, yet we're 30 miles or so South of Leicester.

[Vmistry]

Now it’s turned to snow but it’s too late now, West mids will get the lot

[WeatherPhysio]

Yeah still just heavy rain here at East Mids Airport
