Snow Watch: Midlands & C Southern England

[Snowman15]

The Heavy rain has just turned to heavy snow here in dorset at last!! would take a while to get our 6 inches forecast though lol!! lets hope we get some sort of accumulation out of it as its starting to set on waterlogged grass and wet roads, cars etc!

[barmybrummy1]

ppn looks like its heading for the north sea again

sorry im new, does this mean that we will get more snow for the midlands?

[get my drift]

Do i remember you saying you are in wimbourne?

[Serendipity]

Easing off here a little now I think.

[Costa Del Fal]

Had a fresh dusting but annoyingly all the snow is about 2 miles away from us now on the radar and will be like that for ages.

One minute it looks like its easing, now its coming down very heavy again!!!

If this carries on I'll have a foot of snow in my back garden

[Blimey]

Just started in Ringwood, settling on cars

[jimben]

Very heavy Moulton, 50p and larger sized flakes

[Reading FC]

Very Heavy snow overnight here with thunder and lightning to boot which woke me up about 6am. been drizzling since but just turned back to proper snow again now albeit quite wet snow.

[JamieUK]

Moderate snow now falling. We were supposed to be right in the thick of it, but looks as if all the heavier precipitation is further north towards leicester and northampton......is this heavier precip going to sink south towards my area?

How are you all doing up there?

This week has been good but annoying for one thing- The Forecasts in which every single snow event we had never came to what was expected where just a few miles literally away grabs it all. E.G Yesterday The East bagged it all when we should of had the most

Now today we have just missed out by a few miles again. Not one forecast has been right for here this week really in terms of amounts of snow and precpitation location which is a shame.

[mackerel sky]

Getting lighter here now but 4-5 inches of new snow this morning. 8-9 inches lying!!! Good grief. Anymore today and we'll be pushing a foot in places - if starts sinking back SE as forecast! Hopfully with the colder uppers, we won't see the same thaw yesterday that removed a good 3 inches off the top of yesterday's snow.

Hi everyone!

Still snowing lightly here, I've had to take another snow day so I have been having a frolic!

Measures about 11cm in the back garden. Hope you're all enjoying the snow! x

[scotto]

This is so annoying. The snow band is curremtly showing that it has just arrived over us, but we haven't got anything and it has been the same all morning, with it staying just a couple of miles to the south of us. All I want is some more snow

Lucky, with all the forecasts we should of had that too but its just thawing away with not much left apart from on the grass.

Amazed of how much snow has fell in shuch a short time.flakes are getting bigger must be 4-5 inches of new snow since 8am !!!

[Stargazer]

After a centimetre or so of wet snow in the early hours (with some thunder around 6am) we have a light rain/sleet mix at present here in Reading. So far the weather hasn't been as severe as expected here, and the remains of the snow from earlier this week are slowly melting. Temperature currently 0.7, after last night's minimum of -0.1.

[Bolton67]

Very heavy Moulton, 50p and larger sized flakes

Son's football practice has been called off in moulton for this evening.

Would not want to travel down the back routes from kingsthorpe to moulton :o

However what is your loss is someone elses gain :o

Must have had 10 inches last 48 hrs

Now a bit of sleet and at 1.3c a slight thaw with I guess a rapid re freeze tonight if skies clear and BBC suggest some places could get down to -8c

[NorthantsSnow]
