Makes me sound bad! But living next to a main road, in the lowest area around here and just metres from a power station leads to this place always being worst off. It's still been a brilliant week, but it could've been so much better.

Anything head up in this direction?

What do we think of potential for leading edge snow Friday now? That looks the next and last period of interest.

Coming down here again, but not sticking.

Think coating on bins and roofs here. Roads too wet to stick and paths looks exactly the same as last night. What are everyone's thoughts on Friday?

Odd flakes in the wind, real thaw set in here so I hope things skier Spith and west of here now. It would be nice to see real thick flakes on Friday for a while and some proper heavy snow. The kind that creates a coating within 5 minutes. Not had that this spell. It's certainly been the most consistent and lengthy period of falling snow in terms of days and hours (if not accumulations) that I can remember.

Wow, big thaw taking place.

No altitude here. It's the typical sleet mix. It's wet now though so no more sticking snow here in this spell. Ah well, we always do the worst of any cold or snow anyway.

Floor wet and puddles forming. Hopeless this town is.

Rugeley.

Erm, it's raining.

Looks like my mindset of expecting nothing is paying off!

I do think Staffs aside tonight will be good, with Staffs missing out bar a few fleeting flakes.

BBC forecast at 6.30 was poor. Showed the front fizzling out and pivoting south of Brum. Not expecting anything.

I'd say it's best to expect nothing and be surprised by anything!

Only?! That's more than enough for a fresh cover and road transport issues. It's falling at the best time to. What does Fridays weather warning suggest?

Midlands today said the Spith of the region to take the brunt. 5-10CM through herefordshire, worcs and Warwickshire. 1-5 CM north of Brum as it fizzles.

What about slightly north of Brum?

Coming down lightly again here.

Light snow since 9am again. Since Thursday evening something has been falling for every minute bar around 12 hours Saturday into Sunday.

Been snizzling moderately for a good couple of hours this morning. Another CM top up since last night.

Yep - check your PM!

I don't think so but it won't do much to help. I'm on another forum and a member has pretty much just stated its been snowing in Uttoxeter since 9am but only started accumulating in the last 90 minutes. Gimme in Stafford said the same and Staffordshire in Lichfield. I think it depends on locality of your house to roads also. Out back of mine is a huge garden that has added another 2-3 CMS today, the front is a semi busy 2 laned road and so a thaw of pathways and puddles on the road have done nothing. It's also known that you come 'down into rugeley'. We are in a Valley compared to all towns around us so of they get 5CM in Cannock, we usually get 3 tops.

Nope Rugeley. Lower ASL and a power station does me no help at all. It's commonly recognised that, the second you go over the chase the snow frequently doubles in depth towards Cannock. Staffordshire and gimmesnow are local, to me ad they've had only light/occasional moderate all day with no real accumulation. Yet Cannock seems to be gridlocked! Weird.

Coming down moderately and because it's dark now is putting a sludgy deposit on the roads!
