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.

I think I boosted me exhaust out ready for non camera section earlier passing Leicester Forest East services, must have left some hot air about in the air....

[Convection currents]

Snowing moderately here but don't think we'll end up with much before it's moved over to the West Mids!

[andy_leics22]

I'll be very surprised if it doesn't turn to snow in Leicester, when that blob to thr East of you arrives in a few mins!

I warned my Sis who is working day shift ICU at QEIi Brum tommorow that Brum would get dumped on, she asked me why as BBc were showing nothing.

I just said, who do you trust, brother or BBC?

There all good should start and finish as snow. Also ground has dried out here. Should be with us in about an hour if it holds together.

[WelfordRd]

This is from Hinckely, should be good news to the rest of the region to our west! Especially if you don't get the 45 mins of rain before it

Massive blob on the left sat above us but no snow? Gutted

[Adzyy]

Cars/grass beginning to get a cover, very heavy here still.

[MKN]

Pure snow in Hinckley not settling though

[Josh Rubio]

Massive flakes here in Leicester. Settling on car roofs and also selected surfaces. 

[Vmistry]

Probably the heaviest snow I’ve ever seen in my life

[smethwickgg102]

Just started to rain here in Tipton, need the temp to drop a bit

[sheikhy]

Full on blizzard here!!by the way euro4 looks lovely for us leicester folk again!!close to 10cms again by 36 hours!!!

[WelfordRd]

Settling a bit in cars and grass, but to wet for it to settle on tarmac. Hopefully the other guys west of us can have some fun with this

Main band just reaching sunny Solihull - as sleet.

Some decent sized flakes mixed in and temps dropping quickly now down to 2.4C from 3.2C.DP just above 0.0C, but falling.

MIA

Stopped here now, but it was nice to see! Absolutely bugger all behind it on the radar, though Dry as a bone.

I know where you are... you ignored my last message  from a fellow Hinckley person - I just hope you feel the local duck and Swan residents!
