They are all the same in showing precipitation, if you asked me it’s a simple case of all that’s falling is evaporating before it reaches us.

Nope evaporation is not happening just poor radar imaging

I certainly wasnt expecting all this snow today.,..

 

Ansld looking out of the window in Northamptonshire, I was right...

You haven’t any problems then, so the so called (imaginary snowfall poor imaging) is the same on every radar, including the Met Office but not for you

[Arctic Hare]

Slightly surprised to look outside just now and see the air full of snowflakes! Tiny, tiny flakes, but definitely no longer just one or two. Temp -0.6 °C and slowly falling.

[Dancerwithwings]

Was going to hire a snow machine and ask Bham airport if I could borrow one of there grounded planes  and give us all some snowfall, but when I thought about it ....I didn’t fancy paying the isolating hotel bill when I land

Yes a very unusual day today.

Snow was shown above here for 30mins on radar or longer but nothing.

Did get a slight covering though,drifted on all surfaces very rare to see as so cold and dry.

Not enough snowcover on fields though.

[mother nature rocks]

Sticking nicely

This vid didn’t work on my iPad but worked on my iPhone

looks like your under the heavier stuff (radar) lovely  

[Dancerwithwings]

There’s still hope

[Arctic Hare]

Basically stopped now, just the odd flake in the breeze. A really, really thin dusting, but as it's below freezing it's not going anywhere.

[Dancerwithwings]

Regarding the so called radar failure, my thoughts are it’s the models that have failed more so,  in no way it was supposed to reach this far East if you ask me

[WinterWilf]

Nothing here wasn't expecting anything just saw a snow icon on BBC app.. Come to think of it that definatley means it won't.  

We are under it on the radar but nothing falling. Radar has been abit dodgy lately.

Edit I just animated the radar wow been under dark blues for a while now passed, not even seen a flake.. weird.

Just need that front to stall and back build

and you won’t be far away from the 30 odd cm ecm predicted for Valentine’s Day lol

[Summer of 95]

Snowed between about 2 and 3.30 leaving a sugar coating at home and up to the north but nothing 2 miles south in town. Now it's still on the ground but it's just started raining. Unbelievable, everything is still frozen solid and it's raining. Thought the mild air was tomorrow and Monday? What a rubbish spell for snow!

Got a little dusting in the north of worcestershire when i was out with the dog, was quite pleasant actually, despite me saying i'm looking forward to some warmer weather and the angry mob that were right behind me
