Oh boy! The latest model run (12z) has shifted the band for tomorrow slightly further North. Leicester is right on the edge though. Going to be a very close run thing for my location Could even be a case of Market Harborough getting a pasting and Leicester and Loughborough with a sugar dusting! Hoping for a further 30-50 mile shift North before tomorrow. That would put Leicester in the firing line.

Morning everyone! Hoping to see some snow for my location, this week. The Ensembles resemble a toddlers drawing at the moment But they look to be in agreement that the cold will at least be here in a few days time! I hope the majority of us snow lovers on here do get to see some from this. It's been a poor Winter in terms of snow for myself, and i'm sure a lot of other people, too.

Guess what boys and girls... IT'S SNOWINGGGG Had nothing but cold, heavy rain since about 9pm but after a brief drier patch in the radar, a heavy line of PPN has just hit us and it's snowing heavily! I'm guessing the intensity of this band has brought the temps down, just enough to bring some fat flakes -

The dew point is -7 here! Not marginal in the slightest -7 dew in the middle of Winter is rare, but for April... Madness! -

More snow showers here today! Just shows what can happen in April when you get -8 to -10 850's Shame there isn't any organised band, as a few hours of it would be nice to see! At least it isn't marginal either. -

Did you not hear? The Stoke snow shield is now back and running at 100% power. It was in for repairs for a few weeks previous, but i'm afraid they found the part needed, and it's been fixed -

Would be great if it came off, just this once Looks like the showers are starting to fizzle away now I think this is nearing the end of snow potential now for this cold spell. All in all, it has been decent for a large part of the Midlands. An overnight sugar dusting here on Sunday and Monday night was the best we had. Did also catch a shower this morning which gave is another dusting, shame it melted by noon though -

Projected radars are useless I never take any notice of them, as they're wrong 95% of the time. -

This is a prime example of how useless the models PPN charts are in an Easterly like this. GFS and HIRLAM are way off the mark right now. Compare their PPN charts to the actual current radar. Noticr Northampton in the dry slot in the middle of it all, AGAIN Incredible scenes. -

We had around 1cm overnight from a few showers. Its all gone now Anyone else surprised at how fast the snow has melted? We had snow on the ground yesterday morning that melted by the afternoon, as well. It's even melted in the shade. I wasn't expecting snow to melt in the shade in these conditions. It hasn't got above 0c since Sunday -

The streamer has now taken a more East to West course and is heading straight through Leicester, onto Birmingham will be some happy brummies on here tomorrow morning. Just shows you how far streamers can get in this set up though. They can reach Wales. -

Looking at the models for tomorrow. The streamer for Leicester, Rugby, Cov and surrounding areas is STILL going by tomorrow afternoon going to be some mad totals locally. 20cm in some spots, like where @sheikhy lives. -

@sheikhy is gonna be buried by the morning. Constant streamer coming off The Wash into South Leicester. No sign of it stopping insane luck. -

So you are the reason why we've been 20 miles South of a streamer all day and 10 miles North of that band of snow that hit Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes earlier!! -

For the love of God, PLEASE let this be a streamer that stays consistently over Northampton for at least a few hours! -

What part are you in? I'm in Upton, just to the West of the city. Looks like there MAY be some kind of organised band of light PPN heading this way. Not getting my hopes up though -

Interesting you should say that! My manager at work earlier told me that Northampton is in a dip, that's why Cov and Milton Keynes had decent snow earlier and we had a sugar dusting Could be some truth in it then! It's snowing lightly out there now. Starting to dust a few cars again, but nothing to write home about. PLEASE snow gods, let us be under a streamer tonight. I beg you
