Looks like it, but here so far been on and off, heavyish then light

Cant see much happening today in the wild west of Birmingham. A few grains landed overnight...

[MattStoke]

Looks like the heaviest snow so far, drifting around a lot.

Looks like the Peak District have decided to share a little of their snow with me. Might call a ceasefire should this continue.

[Georgina]

Woke up to a lovely covering of snow this morning ! And it’s still snowing now ... hope everyone’s had a bit ! (Of snow) before anyone jumps on a pun

Think the next hour or two will give us a clearer idea, so far the showers have dissipated just around Leicester, but looks like a more organised band now approaching, can they hold together better? Reassuring to see Walsall getting some snow now, suggests they just might. Met Office also were never keen on snow for Bham area last night, seem more keen for today.

This definitely feels like us lot near Birmingham will have our fingers in our ears today whilst there’s plenty of excitement further north and east (to be expected I guess, always had a bit of hope but that radar is very underwhelming) so best of luck! Had a very slight dusting here but to be honest, not fancying our chances quite as much as I was last night, I think in a couple of hours well really know how this ones panning out.

 

EDIT: just started very lightly snowing again

Snowing steady now in Hinckley. Blowing around alot 

[Rickent]

heavy again in Leicester.

[stokepa31]

Powder falling north east Coventry. Remains to be seen if the streamers will have much intensity past Leicester 

[Klippieboo10]

OMG snow in telford.

wasnt expecting anything this week.

the charts are looking very very cold still tho

[stripeyfox]

some decent flakes coming down now here in Melton Mowbray/

[davehsug]

Another decent shower coming through. I do like it when you know it's so cold that they won't be wasted, and every little  helps.

[AmberRose]

Good start to the day!

[Gord]

Light snow blowing around here now.

Some showers to our north and south seem to keep their intensity. But for some reason, the ones heading to Birmingham and the Black Country don’t. Maybe with where they’re coming ashore on the eastern tip of Lincolnshire, it’s just a little bit too much of a land track for them. We really do need just a tiny bit more easterly to the flow.

[Rickent]

snow settling in Leicester city centre, very rarely that happens.

[Essan]

Just had the tiniest sprinking of minature graupel - probably as much as we'll get here from this pathetic "Fluffy Pink Bunny" 

[markw2680]

Just dandruff blowing into the cracks here, very poor so far lol, looks quite good further east though

[WelfordRd]

Stopped again in Hinckley, think the wind has turned slight more to the east so showers taking a slightly different route

Also the clouds have lifted a touch

very showery, certainly expect sun out today, now just blue sky and light clouds

[WinterWilf]

Nothing to talk about here snow wise, Nice and cold though.

About to head outside I better wrap up.

 

[Ninman]

Looks like @sheikhy might be right. The showers look to be converging in to one area off the coast around 10-11am! Nice upgrade if it happens!

[Potent Gust]

Snowing lightly on and off here. Some heavier Bursts. Dusting in places.

[nobble]

Left home at 6.30 am

partial snow cover / proper 80,s old school snow blown everywhere !!

on way to work once east of Lichfield more snow on ground 

lovely covering in haunton

For everyone today
