[Potent Gust]

Got heavier here as well. Proper flakes. Enjoying a great evening watching the Superbowl and seeing snow fall

[sheikhy]

Drifting here now along the curbs in southeast leicester!

[Battleground Snow]

18z hi Res modles widely putting down 5-10cm over midlands in next 24 hours, I think some places are going to get double that.

Still snowing here but not sticking at all.  How is it not sticking, day time temps have been around 1C, currently just below 0C and dp's are at -3.5.  

Wierd it covered instantly here must be rare occasion where further South ground temps are colder. Nice covering now with light snow falling.

I think the -13s over the north sea now have really made the difference in the convection.. looks really impressive

Been falling light/moderate here and it’s getting quite white here. 
 
Always strange when the city gets it and you don’t

This is what the ECM 18z initialised at.

Don't forget they generate way out to sea where the -12 and -13 pockets are.

Very! I’ve found this whole winter very strange so far! We have had nothing from the last two events before this, yet Nottingham got some last time! Usually, when there is snow, we get the most compared to around us. This is the un-snowiest winter (so far) I’ve known since moving here over 20 years ago.

72 still has a good angle for the Midlands with regards to the wind

It is very strange. Sure you’ll get something yet out this spell. Probably eventually more than here. It’s only just started. Be nice if the whole county got the same dumping just for once ha

Fingers crossed that we all get hammered!

[Shezale coventry]

Looking like cov will miss out again!

[snowangel32]

Come to pappa

 

[Adzyy]

Moderate snow here. We have a very thin dusting on the ground. I’m not sure we are going to get a massive amount here though.

[Derbyboy]

Even with the little covering I can see the wind blowing the snow across the road. 

[Eskimo]

Something is killing the convection east of Birmingham. 

[snowangel32]

Dusting everywhere now and moderate to light snow falling with radar sending a conveyor belt of showers towards Brum area.

[andy_leics22]

Just had another snow shower here. They're only just about clipping us from the North. When the wind turns to more of a East, North East direction, I think they will start to skirt to the North of us but, i've seen a few showers, so i'm satisfied now

@Shezale coventry Have you not seen any showers? Radar suggesys that Cov has had a few

[RobR]

 

This lot seems to be shifting quite far west, will it make it to the Midlands?

[BLIZZARDMAN]

Coming down fast in leicester
