Light dusting of snow on ground in Evesham this morning - reportedly a bit heavier on the south/east side of town and out towards Cotswolds.

Snowing in Evesham - light covering on the ground

Heavy snow in Evesham, settling on all surfaces - partial snow cover @ 9am

Lots of thunder in Evesham (5 minutes after I hung out the washing)

Just visible through the clouds from Evesham

Think I may need to avoid this thread for a while given the number of ignorant childish rants about forecasts and warnings
(my apologies if they were all made in jest, but that's certainly not how they come over)
As a parting shot, we now have proper snow as opposed to a graupel blizzard in Evesham. And looks like lots more to come for some people through the day, but nothing at all for others - exactly as forecast-

BBC keep showing lines of intense snow showers going all the way across the country, but they've already been proven wrong once, don't see why this would change tonight.
To be fair, there's a line of (mostly grauple) showers running across the country from Rugby, through Stratford, Evesham and now into the Forest of Dean, exactly as forecasts predicted. Just a matter of whether you are lucky enough to be under one

Had a look at the Yorkshire and East England thread expecting to see good snow pics but even they are struggling to get past the dusting stage. This isn't anything like 2018, back then it was lines of non-stop snowfall, not showers. Have a feeling the BBC/MetO have ramped this too much.
I don't think it's the BBC/MetO who have been ramping it It was never ever expected to be anything like 2018 - except on social media and in the tabloids.

Well this is wierd and unexpected - we now have light snow in Evesham If we can get it, anyone can!

Just had the tiniest sprinking of minature graupel - probably as much as we'll get here from this pathetic "Fluffy Pink Bunny"

Was quite hopeful when the temp here dropped to 0.6c earlier this evening ....... in the past few minutes, as the precipiataion approaches, it has shot up to 2.1c and rising

Looks like precipitation will clear you before turning to snow - though you could possibly see a little - but Monday looking good atm

But in the warning details, it's only 1-4cm for over 200m. I think it's the ice that's the main headline from that warning.
Aye, though a chance of a light covering to lower levels too, depending on timing/intensity of precipitation as the cold air digs in

Anyone else under this dense fog this morning or is it just up here? Surprised there’s no warnings out for that.
Not dense, but been foggy down here all morning too
btw I thought it ironic that as soon as a snow and ice warning was issued, the MetO not-a-forecast removed our snow symbols for tonight!
Worth noting though, with regards Sunday onwards: models always struggle with snow showers. All apps are computer generated from raw model output. Ergo: apps are as useful this week as a chocolate teapot on a motorbike.-

Starting to turn to sleet in Evesham now. Not sure anything will settle even if we do get heavy snow later - had 13.5mm of rain this morning!
-
Well the ground is definitely too wet here ..... ! Seriously, I am not expecting much if any snow. But am very worried about the effects of even more rain

Automated forecasts beginning to pick up on the risk. I know they’re highly unreliable but it’s good to see that these models are picking up on the snow risk.
Aye, the MetO not-a-forecast is even showing a snow risk for down here, both Sat morning (but turning to rain) and more especially Sunday night .... Will not doubt change as the models waver, but if it's shown for lowly Evesham then it bodes well for higher ground further north.

Surprised you didn't get any Andy, we had a 5cm's ish in the morning, with a bit of melt by the end of the day. Pershore dropped to -7.1c in the end.
We had around 1cm in town, and that had almost all melted by midday
This first picture was the scene in my garden by mid afternoon yesterday. And a view of some of the fields on the edge of town this morning. -

My weather station recorded -8.4 as a minimum around 0400 this morning!
Just trying to get a feel for how accurate that is?
Over here, I got down to -5c with no snow cover. Nearer to you, Wittering dropped to -7.3c. Topcliffe looks to have been the coldest place in England with -9.2c I don't see why you shouldn't have record at least -8c over snow

2024 probably

Well, after the return of the front we now have approx 0.00mm of snow in Evesham ..... What a waste.
Just light, patchy, sleety snow, most of which quickly melted again.

Now snowing again in Evesham; hopefully have a dusting before the frost sets in

Got about 3 inches here in Evesham now - best snowfall in years (as it's covering everything and not the usual slushfest)
