Great piccies Tommy, you've got far more than us here in Polesworth, just a dusting here on the grass and nothing on the pavements/roads. Long may it continue!!!!

I'm at SF3 now - can't see this proper settling at all though it's so wet on the paths/roads. Looking at the radar, I can't see where another 8 hrs of snowfall (which was progged to happen) is going to come from unless everything just stays still. Lovely to see it coming down though, even if it's not sticking yet. Malvern's had a brilliant snowfall all day, hasn't it. Wish I was there :-)

Just rain for us today in Polesworth & Kingsbury, not even sleet. I'm hopeful for snow tomorrow purely looking at the intensity/accumulation on the models (especially the NAE) but it just doesn't feel cold enough yet, hopefully that will change tomorrow. Mind you, I'm going to Nuneaton for an operation first thing on Friday morning and it's been cancelled by them a couple of times already so I'm hoping that even if we get a great covering, the roads will be passable come Friday. Gonna have a lovely day radar and thread watching tomorrow - I bet it's going to be real busy in here and I hope it's not due to disappointment, it's so borderline it's untrue. Cross your fingers everyone!!!!!

Precipitation total over the next 48 hours looks nice for us - just depends on whether it's the white stuff or not.

I've got a good feeling about this one for the midlands, I feel like we're finally going to get some real snow when lots of other places are borderline. I hope that come Tuesday, we've got a good few inches here.

Really, looks like the low moves east giving us a n/e then a northerly with a bit of snowfest while it's doing it. Am I reading them wrong?

I'm very greedy for snow. Most of us in the midlands did rubbish out of the Dec/Jan cold spell even though there was loads all around us. I was watching it all miss us on the radar and raging with jealousy - sad eh :-) Most we had was 2 inches which was pretty pathetic. I just want some proper disruptive snow, around shin height, fallen overnight so no getting out of your street for work (just for a day is fine). Everyone out on the street, clearing their drives, kids out playing, going out for a walk and hearing that lovely crunching sound as you walk, hot toddys, bliss!!!! I don't like the cold to last and last but when it comes to snow, it's gotta be more than a dusting, that's just a tease!

Nope, I'm there on the 19th and hopefully out the same day, fingers crossed. I would think there would be a bus at that time, even on a Saturday, Andy. Hope it goes well for you too.

If you do a search for Nuneaton on google maps, Andy, you can see both signposted pretty well - I'd say it's a 2 mile walk as the hospital is south of the town, you come out on the Coton Road and the hospital is signposted. I've got to go there in a couple of weeks to have my gallbladder removed - yuk! I'm sure there will be a bus from the centre of town though.

Nothing here in Polesworth yet - looks to be another hour or so before we have our share, if it comes this far. Glad others are finally getting some snow in the 'snow-starved' midlands this winter.

Wow, love the new radar - well done guys!!!!

3.3 for me please

After being stationary for a while, it seems to be moving again in the past half hour and it's now reached Hereford at long last on the radar. Wonder if it'll get to us intact - lots of radar watching and crossing fingers tonight.

Lightly snowing here again and Blues are 1-0 against Man U - does life get any sweeter than this

Just been out for a ciggie and it's snowing really lightly. The thing is, the snowflakes haven't lumped together and they're the most perfectly shaped, detailed snowflakes I've ever seen - like diamond dust falling from the sky. Gorgeous!

Looks like Nottingham is going to get a direct hit from these showers - they seem to be really beefing up now. Hope they stay intact for me too here in sunny Polesworth.

Thank you camperstron

Oh gawdy, we've lost the locations again - I'm in Polesworth, North Warks - and it's pivoting just a couple of miles south of me at the mo. Thank you windysnow :-) - hope you get some from that front. If not, I'm sure it'll come soon. Our patience will be worth it I'm sure.

We've got about 2 inches but all the the precipitation is going westwards about 3-5 miles below me now so I think that's it. Still, it's bought it home to me that once the cold's properly here, the snow can really hit the midlands and we've got solid cold for another week now so who knows. This particular heavy precip didn't even show up until 48 hours out so I know it can hit again at any time - regardless of how we haven't been affected by it so far, this is a proper winter and we will all get our snow, I can see it! P.S. Am a bit drunk on Champagne now - my only sibling (my wonderful sister, Mandy) gave birth to a baby boy today (after a couple of ivf attempts) so I am an aunty for the first and probably only time. I'm on top of the world!!!!!

We've got between 1 and 2 cm at the moment - still falling lightly but I'm losing hope for a good 20cm by the morning.

I can't see where all this projected snow is going to come from for us here in North Warks - the front to the north of us seems to be staying put and the south-west stuff doesn't seem to be going north. There's a big band of nothing heading straight for us by the look of it. Hope it all beefs up soon - I want some good deep snow to play in by the morning.

Here you go stevomatt - I think it starts about 40 minutes in - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00pr2lt/Country_Tracks_North_Yorkshire/

We've had the same as you, Serendipity - it's so frustrating to see it all around you, isn't it? The fax charts for early Tuesday show a slow moving front coming down the county so I think the midlands should do pretty well from that if it comes off. Hopefully, they'll get their day off school to play out in it.

Nice little fish & chip shop in Baddesley

This one's mine http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/acatalog/info_ES_WS2350.html (loads of la Crosse ones on ebay much cheaper though) and it's not too bad. Only trouble is that I can't hook it up to the computer as I keep losing the signal to the outside station when I move it to the PC. I know Vantage do some brilliant weather stations but I suppose it depends on your surroundings and your budget. If you're in a very urban/built up area, the anenometer is very often useless and probably the same could be said for the rain collector unless it's right in the middle of the garden with no surrounding trees, etc.
