this is only the 2nd event for Hinckley - if you call it that! so pretty to see, came quick and the grass is covered, but melting already. Our first event was before new year, but the snow melted very quickly then too.
Yes its lovely to watch falling which it has done here on 5 occasions here this winter.But it doesn't settle.My 6 year old son is so gutted as he is yet to go sledging make a snowball or snowman this winter.

As usual nothing here in the East Midlands.We've had half a day of lying snow since Christmas.It snowed briefly Wednesday night but failed to settle.Surely our luck has to change soon.
-
Rain turning quickly to wet snow here in Denby but for how long will it last!!.
-
Squall line coming through Derby now.Gusty winds and torrential rain no sign of any sleet or snow though as yet.
-
Morning all,well no Snow here just heavy rain which did fall as sleet for the first hour or so.Dull and murky now let's hope for some sunshine later.

Evening guys.
Not looked tonight what are the chances of a snow event for tomorrow?
I am out on the roads all day tomorrow and want to be prepared.
If it is going to be a pathetic non event like earlier this week them I am ok.
Really don't want to get stuck away from home delivering.
Wondering what the concensus is so far?
I am on the border here in Burton east and west midlands.
Evening Winterwilf,we have a yellow weather warning for snow and ice tonight.But as usual the worst of the snow seems to be north and east of us again.We may get a few hours of wet snow in the morning but like yesterday I dont think it will settle.The front moves through by lunchtime leaving sun and showers.Turning much milder too.

Some beefy showers heading off the North Sea. Are they rain or snow?
Rain with a bit of sleet thrown in for good measure!.

We had moderate snow earlier here at 5.30 for around 20 mins that left a slushy covering.That soon melted and now we have just heavy rain.Been a very poor week for snow here just north of Derby.

What a way to kick off tier 4! Would love an imminent snowfall but you know what, this will do even if it’s very slowly thawing

For those of us in the snow starved East Midlands. Hopefully we see development of showers within the blue area over the next few hours.
Even that seems to be fizzling out and appears to be sliding down the west of the region.Apart from a dusting last Tuesday we had none at all!.

That has to be one of the most depressing runs i have ever seen in terms of how it snows everywhere around me but not in leicester
Or up the road in Derby!!.Annoying isnt it.Everything forecast for the coming week looks set to pass either east or west of us.

What is it with Stoke-on-Trent and thunderstorms? We just keep getting hit over and over again!
Send it 15 miles east.I can see distant flickering from my front window.Just the same as last night!

I live just north of Derby and the lightning to the south is amazing.Not nuch of a view as i live in a valley, but this must be 30 miles away?.
-
Nothing of interest here in Derby but something seems to be brewing to the east.Perhaps something to watch.

yep the Midlands are spoilt when it comes to storms, particularly this year, no decent kent clippers either this summer.
To be fair to us in the Midlands (I live just north of Derby)this is the first year in a long time that we've had a decent amount of storms.I have counted 6 this year here.Believe me the last 10 or so years have been terrible here.And I alway thought the South and south east was the place to be in the last few years for storms.I think this year we have just been very lucky indeed.

And yet a few miles away in Belper there was nothing. When you say best for last 3-4 years, did you not get the storm on Wednesday?
On par with that!

An unexpected couple of cells just past through Birmingham..and on their way to Derby...a couple of strikes just south of Tamworth....nothing heard...but hey we might get lucky with some of the cells coming in from the SW
One CG here knocked out our power in Ripley earlier. 8-9 deep booms of thunder and heavy rain for about 15 mins.A good show here.Best for the last 3-4 years.
