Very heavy snow just after 9am in South Staffordshire, thick flakes. Not sure how long it will last, but there is enough to get my kids excited.

Just had a medium snow shower here.VERY VERY patchy setling.

we are having a sleet shower here in Birmingham. Started off as rain, but quickly turned to sleet, and now looks like snow. But it is very wet on the ground, and I'm presuming the temp is too high to allow it to settle. Shows no inclination of settling anyway. Started at 10:00 and is still going now, some 20 mins later.
