Yeah, I thought that but might have started losing the plot today.

No the main band is still moving south east. But quite a few showers breaking of it and heading West also a bit of activity near Northern Ireland that might come into play later.

[Aidloz]

Lots of snow in Mansfield Nottinghamshire started around 9 this morning and still falling.

[DIS1970]

That precipitation has woken up over Yorkshire.

[Vmistry]

Snowing lightly here, won’t settle but nice to see at least

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Suddenly turned to wet snow decent sized wet flakes

[jimben]

Snow falling Scaldwell, Northants and temp 2.3c

[Shezale coventry]

What a let down this whole cold spell has been. Rain all day here in coventry. Beeb and met office apps are useless roll on summer i say!

[nobble]

Just started sleeting again in no mans Heath , 

[Adzyy]

Sleet in Rugby... not getting my hopes up for much else..

[Sleet30031972]

Too mild in Belper to settle. Sleety stuff. Even on high ground, steady drip drip and very wet snow at best. Temperatures of met office seem off to me. Been on zero degrees for hours but my car, and the evidence around me, says 2 degrees 

[pegg24]

Just woke up from nights to snow falling in Corby Northants.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Some of that stuff over Eastern areas is definitely heading further West according to the radar, with some pepping up of the precipitation around the Derby and Western Peterborough area (circled in black). Just a question I guess whether some of that can hold up as it gets further West.

 

So may not be over yet. Perhaps temperatures will have dropped enough to increase chances of some snow falling. Even though admittedly it is all marginal

Light snow in Burbage.  It is spreading West a bit....how about Leicester? @sheikhy

[Adzyy]

Definitely turned more snowy in the last 5 minutes here

[Josh Rubio]

Starting to snow lightly here in Leicester

Yup started snowing again but really dissapointing so far mate

[Snowshine]

I’d rather that pathetic band of rain/snow doesn’t approach us, because it will probably end up bringing drizzle, or perhaps flurries/light sleet.

Radar shows some heavy stuff for you in next 30 mins or so. But overall yh its been a disappointment for the Mids except for a few lucky spots in North Mids.

[matty40s]

Really wasnt expecting anything looking at radar and direction. Imagine my surprise west of Northampton half an hour ago when white stuff joined the light drizzle for a while.

Seems to be all fizzling out quite quickly on its Western edge towards us now 

[Josh Rubio]

Can't say it looks promising. The radar looks increasingly light and patchy. I think this has been a bust bar from a few selected areas. 

[cyclonic happiness]

There are a couple of interesting developments to the dying front, whether they can break the snow drought in the middle Midlands I can't say

[Wingman Blue]

Here on Edgehill the temperature was 9 degrees at 0700.  It’s now 1.3.

The wind was north-westerly this morning, but at 15.00 shifted round to north-easterly and the front that was sliding past is now headed this way.

Will inform if any snow forms, still focussed on the 21st!
