Snowing. Must be a good cover above 1000f

[Gord]

I’m currently at work. Raining heavily in Bromsgrove...but just as I was dispatching my train, it was really trying to turn to snow and doing a pretty decent job. But I had to leave.

Let’s see what it’s like as we go up the line towards Lichfield. Was a pleasant evening when I was last there a couple of hours ago.

[Summer of 95]

Quite wet snow shower here, no sticking yet but feels like it could if the heavier stuff north of here manages to move south

[Dancerwithwings]

I can confirm it’s snowing

where I hear you ask

Right in my back yard

[RobR]

Snow here and settling on the grass! Can't remember settling snow in April before!

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Snowing steadily and settling slightly

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Aye, light snow too

[syed2878]

moderate snow here by Villa Park settling A little on grass.

[Barbmac]

Ended up with about 6 cms of snow here,

Snowing

[Dancerwithwings]

Hey what’s going on, it’s all gone quiet here....maybe not for long though, as nothing is moving fast, but looking at the radar the precipitation is sinking south

Lovely photo Barbmac, thats one for the April history books

That’s very impressive surprise April snow depths

Another snow event added to this winter's list

[I remember Atlantic 252]

last few flakes still falling, clear sky to the north, hope for something later

[MattStoke]

That area of snow died out a few miles to my north and then re-invigorated a few miles to my south

Little feature for late tonight/early hours of tomorrow that could give a covering for parts of the Midlands. West and South Midlands mainly.

Radar showed a small area of precipitation that slowly passed through here and the surrounding Solihull and Birmingham area about 45 minutes to an hour ago. Have no idea whether it fell as snow as would have still be asleep. Could forever remain a mystery lol

Always the rest of today, along with that possible wintry event tomorrow morning, for some sleety or snowy action, mind.

Sounds like some of you have been doing well, especially Snowke-on-Trent

[I remember Atlantic 252]

dunno how anyone can still be asleep at that time? would have been snow though, B'ham is higher up

[Dancerwithwings]

That possible snow event that was showing it’s hand for tomorrow morning, is looking more and more unlikely now, just the SW tip of out region may see some methinks

I’d take the latest Aperge.

 

Or the Arome.

I can confirm  that it did fall a snow around here...  (I saw it through the curtains when the wife woke me up!)

But hardly enough to dampen the ground.

Lovely and sunny here now though.

MIA

[MattStoke]

UKV further north with that feature too.

Who needs sleep, anyway?

[Dancerwithwings]

The 06z NNM vs UKV for 8am tomorrow morning

Things maybe clearer later, 12z or even the 18z methinks 

 

 

[BarometerCat]

Sun out and sudden polystyrene ball type icy stuff falling.   Then stopped...looks to be forming North of here.  Roll on Spring now please!

Yes a rash of showers are starting to bubble up now 

Almost anywhere could see a wintry flurry or two this afternoon 

[cyclonic happiness]

starting to snow here now
