About 3cm of snow in Northampton. Still snowing moderately .

Heavy Snow just started to fall in Northampton , though it hasnt started to settle yet. It looks like Saturday could be see the largest snowfall of the winter. I would expect to see between 10 and 20 cm of snow in places. This will last all weekend. cant wait......

i think the midlands thread works well. its good to find out whats happemimg within say a 50 mile radius. to narrow down regions even more would be just nowcasting.

i still think there is another 4 hours of some potential heavy snow coming up from the south , it also seems to be pepping up again , its nice to finally see all the roads and [aths completely white. no slush. still snowing ok here , but waiting for next heavy band of snow to hit us in 30 mins i fear not much sleepz tonight ,

well at long last the roads and pavements are turning white in northampton. i still think we will wake up to about 5 to 8cm of snow. thats if i can stop looking at the lampost

desperately hoping the havy precipitation north of oxford comes our way , frustrating when i look outside every 30 mins ans still only a slight dusting of snow on roofs and cars , but roads depressingly grey and wet

snow setting on roofs , cars and grass. . could be an interesting night , I thought we would have to wait until 9pm , ut the cold pool of air seems to be pushing further west than predicted. looks good for all of us. I think we could get 10 cm of snow by midday tomorrow, and it should stick for most of the week. Could be an awkward drive to work tomorrow.

snow not sticking to wet surfaces unfortunately , still snowing moderately , reasonable sized flakes , but snow is wet type , so struggles to settle especially in the day light hours

heaviest snow we have had since last friday , and reasonably sized flakes , about size of 5p

moderate snow in northampton town center at present , i think i will stick to nowcasting at the moment ,

it looks like we are perfectly positioned to get some reasonable snow from the west later today , then we get some snow from the east on saturday and sunday , this snow tends to be drier so will settle much more than the wet stuff we tend to get from the west. So we dont need the 10p sized flakes for there to be some further accumalations. Overall it is going to be a very interesting few days , ive just purchased the nw radar , as the raintoday free radar i feel was a bit misleading as to snow potential. it does look like we will remain in a cold spell for the next 6 to 8 days then a brief milder period , before maybe some more snow potential from a NE direction. Finally this could be another winter to remember

i still believe we will get some significant snowfall tomorrow , i think the dividing line will be cambridgeshire. To the east of that the snow showers will fragment , but there is still a possibility of upto 2cm of snow for eastern areas, Its now a case of waking up early and checking the radar to see how quickly the front is moving through, We also must remember that there is plenty more snow forecast for the next 3 days. We could end up with 10 cm of snow in places. Waxing the runners on my trusty old sledge in anticipation of some weekend fun on the slopes.

starting to turn back to reasonably heavy snow in northampton , there was a worrying 30 mins of very fine heavy sleety precipitation . it is still very wet snow unfortunately , o isnt really settling , if we had this in the evening we would have had a few inches of lying snow by now. still an interesting week to look forward to though.

i live in semilong northampton , a 10 minute walk to the town centre , we have had very heavy wet snow , but it hasnt settled , the snow is turning more to sleet now. still heavy though. interesting you say the snow has settled less than a mile away from where i live.

Light snow in northampton , but only dusting of snow on roofs and cars, roads mainly wet with bits of slush. Hoping the met forecast is correct and the bbc upgrad their forecast. Is there still snow cover further west.
