Snow in Derby started light getting heavier

[Rich_T]

[matty8]

Light sleet and snow hear at the moment, was snowing heavier in the early hours. None of it has settled. Turning more and more to light rain as i write, very good though considering THE BBC SAID WE WOULD HAVE A FROST THIS MORNING AND IT WOULD BE A BRIGHT DAY! they havn't got a CLUE,

It keeps going between heavy snow, and light snow, and its setling :shock: the local BBC forcast said that there might be a light flurry over the peak district.

im expecting a power cut any moment now, because thats what normaly happens wehn it snows.

[Supercell]

Started snowing again very lightly not settling though. The BBC definitely forecasted nothing of the sort.

[Mrs Snow Lover]

It snowed here in Northwich, I am not kidding! Couldn't believe it, at least a full 10 minutes (which is useless I know but still good for us!) Oh I hope we get more! I was in Tesco at the time and I looked out of the coffee shop window and there it was!

So, at last, MSL has seen some snow :-)

[falmouth]

Stil snowing in Derby, very heavy now my back yard is all white now

[Mrs Snow Lover]

It just snowed again! Only briefly, but even so. The sky to may right looks full of it though, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

[XENA]

Heavy snow here now, seems to be coming from the East

[SnowJoke]

sleeting here now in milton keynes, east midlands. temp around 3'c. hopefully if it drops a couple of degree's we'll get to see some proper white stuff???

sky looks very dark and grey and fulla snow, but doesn't seem to be getting down to lower levels :cry:

fingers XXXXX maybe just maybe????

[XENA]

I'm about 80metres above sea level and its been snowing here for about 30mins

[SnowJoke]

OMG. whoaaaaaa yipee, sleet has turned into proper snow now, big fat flakes of fun the size of 50p pieces. lets hope it starts laying

[cm2]

Rain with large snow flakes starting to appear now here, Kempston, Bedfordshire, temp 2.9 falling

[Snow_Lover]

Frequent light snow showers here in Midlands, Nottinghamshire. Stopped breifly although our last shower finished 5 mins ago, and there are now dark grey clouds overhead once more. Temp is currently -0.4.

Radar is currently picking nothing up within 100miles from me, what is going on as these aren't rogue showers, some are actually getting quite beefy.

What type of precipitation is this going to be once the band from Ireland hits England? As snow is already falling once again, surely it will be snow this evening to...?

[Lynxus]

Last night ( Monday ) into Tuesday

I was on my way to cheltenham to go clubbing and it came down with PROPER snow for about 1 hr. VERY heavy aswell. then it just stopped as quick as it started. None settled, Or did for a very short time.

Now im just hoping the next wave of rain will be snow when it passes by.
