I personally think any precip around Wales or the Midlands will all be of sleet or snow until 6am, then after that, who knows when it will turn to rain. Guessing around 9-10am maybe? But I'm by no means an expert and I am just basing my prediction on what the charts are telling me.

Thanks, Andy. I'm driving to Monmouth tomorrow and I need all the info I can get.

Cheers,

Mike.

Just heard that a weather warning has been issued for North Lincolnshire. Also police advise that Chesterfield has atrocious conditions and tell people not to travel.

[James M]

woohoo, getting quite heavy now!

What makes it even better is, infront of my house there is a busy road, but temorary traffic lights due to road works are forcing cars to stop for ages, allowing the road to quickly cover over with snow! I can see some cars getting stuck there later! hahaha!

my predictions for tonight:

me 10-12cm

groupel 3-6cm

james m 10-12cm.

Oooh 10-12cm for me thanks, we only have 1cm atm though.

[Polar Low]

[falmouth]

The East Midlands warnings only cover Derby City and Derbyshire now and it lasts until midnight. However looking at the radar maybe another hour or two as its already clearing Birmingham.

paul hudson just said there is more significant snow to come for south yorkshire

[marksp]

just travelled from chesterfield back home to matlock, hundreds of cars up there having problems.

20 min journey took 1.5 hours. passed 2 snowploughs. had mega problems dropping down from

beeley/matlock moor at 400 mtrs to my house at around 170 mts. up on the tops the snow is easily

6 inches deep and it was still snowing heavy (very dry huge flakes, also some drifting. would not be suprised

if some people have to abandon their cars. Longest skid was over 30 yards down burnett lane. top of the lane must be 300

mtrs down to 200mtrs asl. still snowing here very heavy. Local radio has just mentioned people are stuck on the hills surrounding matlock and chesterfield and across the moor. we saw people abanding their cars and getting lifts with the lucky people who were driving 4x4.

looking at meto radar looks like plenty more snoe to come.

Excellent!! Its starting to settle on roads here now, I didn't think it would as it was wet through with rain we had for 2 hours previously. Its not that heavy though.

How about some beers- its Friday night!

Heavy snowfall here right now. Falling on top of soaked ground making a thick layer of slush on pavements- tricky & messy to walk in!

[gornaldo]

Heavy here, nearly a CM down, finally, after all this wait, it's here!!!!

[Harsh Climate]

about 1.3cm here so far. and that is just from light stuff...

[Polar Low]

Massive flakes here now, not making any impact on the wet ground but it's nice to see none-the-less.
