Some of oyu might be lucky soon , East Midlands is reporting light snow showers .

There is a band of snow showers just to the north of leicester.

Should be snowing soon in leicester.

The radar looks good. Two clusters of showers moving in off the north sea likely to affect parts of the region later:

Also a stream of showers running through NW England at the moment which may make it far enough south to affect parts of the West Midlands.

Basically it's all kicking off! And all this sunshine over Northants at the mo is only going to aid convection later.

I didn't notice anything at that time but Pitsford Hall reported a few granular snow showers in parts of the county overnight.

Hi Everyone! Had a few sleety/snowy/rainy/mist-come fog showers this morning here in good ol' Notts. A few flurries about here and there but no snow showers yet (like proper snow, not mix) but fingers crossed! Does anyone agree that the latest 06z has crapped out for Monday's snow? unsure.gif

Latest radar (1210) is a peach. I think we could be getting in on the action VERY soon.

Looks like that big band will end up in between leicester and northants.

i'm blowing it further south ..lol

Look at the winds , GFS got it wrong , There ENE , Any showers that form now will head straight into the Midlands , 40-50mph winds here in Skegness at the Minute and golf ball size hail. I havent't seen this before .. constant large hail .. not stopping , been like it for over an hour .. Should change to Snow soon hopefully.

Yes I think so. SW Leics/NE Northants in line for a direct hit. Some heavy radar echoes towards Oakham.

I`m not that far from northamptonshire but i`m not expecting any snow or much snow today as its clear blue skies here, if we do get snow in the next 5 days it looks like it could just about hang around until christmas day, probably a slow thaw though in the daytime in the sunshine :drinks:
