Snow Watch: East Midlands, Lincs And S & E Yorkshire

[Polar Low]

Moderate snow falling here... good dusting now and still coming down.

[sunny scunny]

Must be close to a few inches here and still it continues.

[farmans]

to sum this up so far, all the intense stuff has missed us to the east and now the west lol :lol:

Im further west of you in Sheffield and I can confirm that although the radar is showing moderate snow - its not. Looking at wider comments it seems that this is an issue elsewhere as well. Starnage - I would love to have an explaination as to why this occurs from one of our knowledgeable members?

We barely have a dusting here.

OK, is it just me, or is Nottingham starting to have the snow turn into rain???? There is deffo a nice dusting down, but I can't see the snow on lampost duty, it looks suspiciously like rain now! That's it- (sound of running down stairs) I'm going to go check outside... I hope it stays as snow though! <_<

(out of breath from running back upstairs) Nope! It's still snowing!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!

Snowing and settling since 4.30. All thawed areas well covered.

[Cal2]

Still snowing lightly, around 4-5cm of snow has fallen over the last 5 hours, the good thing is the slight thaw we had earlier has stopped .

Aye seems to have pepped up again .

[andy_leics22]

Well what can I say!? I went out at 4:15pm to go to Asda, I said on here that all the heavy stuff was missing Leicester to our East and as soon as I left the house it started snowing quite moderately, been snowing moderate to heavy now for the past hour and everywhere is white even the main road. Looking on the radar it seems it really pepped up loads after I left, can't believe it!

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Just picked my wife up from town, god that was scary snow covering all the main roads!!!!! Got hoome safely and built my first snow man of the winter!!! 3 inch on grass

Sorry mate Looks like you have some snow falling though... Is it?

[Cal2]

Seems the precipitation is now on a more southerly track . Should be good for the midlands particularly Notts/Lincs borders .

Snow beginning to accumulate rapidly with the heavier stuff moving in .

[Craigers]

how unlucky am i !!!!!!!

[The PIT]

Amazing Light snow which has now stopped. Net weather extra radar has under green so it's thrown another wobbly as it was very light snow and now is dry.

[Hurricane Andrew]

Just went for a fag and witnessed 4 almost big accidents, i want to go to comet and buy my new 50" inch HD screen, ordered a taxi and it be here in over an hour and a half! telephone boxing typical 3 inches of snow and i cant get a taxi. still its snowing heavy still.

[kev238]

Unexpected snowfall is always the best-- woke up to a forecast of a wintry mix-- logged onto met office site and saw severe warning at 3pm-- white all over with heavy snow at 6pm-- completely wasnt expecting it and conditions are already far worse than the Winter Storm in Nottingham city!

[sunny scunny]

how unlucky am i !!!!!!!

Bugger

[Craigers]

now its raining LOL

[andy_leics22]

now its raining LOL

Unreal mate Type in LE3 and look where I am

[allenar]

Heavy Ice pellets now, rather strange weather this, Bit annoyed to be honest, got used to the melted snow, then it snows again, now looks like its turning to rain washing the 1 inch away we have had in the last hour. Typical

Im waiting for the front to push SW now, will it or wont it
