We have always had mega snow events here, until the last 5 years or so, it’s got really poor. My 5yr old hasn’t seen any of the amounts of snow that my 10yr old has. 

Yes, it was a lot in 2010. These first three pics are the only photos left on my iCloud from back then. 

but to be honest 2013 was even more epic! We got hit at the beginning of the year and then at the end before Xmas. The last 6 pics are a mix of beginning and end of 2013... 

I’d give anything for snow like that again. It used to be every year.

Remember driving past those drifts at the top of slack hill every day on my way to work in 2013. Epic stuff.

Looking at the models for tomorrow. The streamer for Leicester, Rugby, Cov and surrounding areas is STILL going by tomorrow afternoon going to be some mad totals locally. 20cm in some spots, like where @sheikhy lives.

You have a good eye for location  The road drift photos were taken on Wirestone Lane, just next to Slack Hill. Shame we don’t get to see those kind of falls anymore!

Radar echoes showing over us now but cant feel anything falling. Although some cloud has drifted over. I'm sure the air is too dry for anything to reach the ground; it's been below zero since sunset but there is no visible frost anywhere and all the paths are completely dry.

The streamer has now taken a more East to West course and is heading straight through Leicester, onto Birmingham will be some happy brummies on here tomorrow morning. Just shows you how far streamers can get in this set up though. They can reach Wales.

Just had the heaviest snow of this spell so far, been snowing now for over an hour and getting a nice covering everywhere and look more to come.

Showers are getting across the Pennines into Manchester area but nothing is getting through the gap between Stoke and Wolverhampton, which is much lower. And the wind is still more N than E here, which is probably what is causing the streamer to go too far south.

Nothing surprises me anymore.... well I lied  

I went  to bed thinking the radar is dying and it’s reverting further and further back to the east of our region and the coast even.

And surprise-surprise I wake up this morning and it’s snowing with a decent covering with more on the radar.....bring it on

The last heavy burst seemed to develop before it arrived in the Black Country, gave us heavy snow and then decay as it left the Black Country. The next heavier area is moving in and in between each heavy burst is constant light snow. Covered everywhere a few CMs so far.
