Here near Loughborough we had a yellow 'be aware' METO warning all day yesterday and today we have an orange 'be prepared'. Well I've been aware and prepared for the possibility of snow for 10 days now and all I've seen is a few brief flurries. And guess what - Sunday's METO yellow warning covers everywhere west and south of Leicestershire. That's the price you pay for living slap-bang in the middle of the country.

hmm, NW forcast said 100% chance of snow today, nothing!! A small flurry yesterday which dusted the ground and that is it.

[we_want_snow]

Saw about a dozen flakes in Shrewsbury yesterday but nothing atall. I want snow now!!! Is it coming to Shrewsbury???

[cuckoo]

Here in Derbyshire I think we are the only county in the UK that hasn't been raised off the Met Office green "all clear" status at any time, either for the easterly or the northerly.

At least I didn't get my hopes up though.

[chapmanraven]

I'm sliding into a serious depression....I need a snow I really got excited by all the talk of repeating 1981, 1962/63 etc. and we have had no more that a couple of flurries. No snow on the ground, none in the air and I can't see any heading this way.

Just a light sprinkling yesterday from one graupel shower and thats all we've had. The sunshine and a sleet shower today finished that off so you'd never know anything happened. I try not to get disappointed with stuff like this, but I just cant for the life of me believe in an easterly cold enough that our area missed out. Its absolutely baffling.

Greetings from a sunny and totally snowless Lincoln.

how do you do thoses flying birds ??

[Timmytour]

I feel a bit guily coming on here because we did at least have some....even if it was nowhere near what we were hoping for and, dare I said, led to expect.

The snow that comes into Anglia on these occasions very often splits to the east and to the west of us. I feel like the "Snoker"....inches to the left of me, inches to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with a dusting!

[neville]

Lots of no from last night, so the other half's a bit miffed. On the other hand today I've driven from work near Guildford via Petworth, Haywards Heath, Heathfield and Rye and it's been snow all the way apart from the last half dozen miles :lol:

However there's been the odd flurry on Romney Marsh this afternoon so it might be white in the morning for SWMBO.

NO SNOW IN THANET, EAST KENT!

[Cookie]

Still waiting, still waiting.

fed up of waiting.

[Methuselah]

Apart from ONE shower early yesterday, there's sod-all snow here...

[cuckoo]

Still Derbyshire remains "all clear" on the Met Office warnings website

[noggin]

Still no snow.

It always seems that we'll be getting some "tomorrow" or "the day after tomorrow", but it never happens.......

[RedShift]

Following the much-vaunted notherly frontal snow event today, during which I blinked and missed, I now have about 30 cm of snow – measured horizontally. I would need an electron microscope to measure vertical depth.

Which reminds me, whatever happened to SF’s classic ‘how to measure snow’ guide?

[Solar Cycles]

Well we had snow, but then the rain washed it all away. Such is life eh!!

[derby4life]

well apparently we had a snow shower yesterday here in north shrops ....but unfortunately I was watching a different shower in Derby lose :lol:

very disappointed with the no snow so far here ...really thought it was going to happen last night but it just rained like billio ....somethings going on ...you southern snow stealers :lol:

[I remember '63]

Last night we actually had about 2mm of snow which immediately turned to slush, so technically we are no longer members of The No Snow Club but you'd need a magnifying glass to prove it.

[derby4life]

we've just had sow showers

[conor123]

Crystal clear skies here and after last night failed to deliver and no showers from the chesire gap ive given up all hope.

[Costa Del Fal]

Well im out of this group after last nights heavy snow!

Good luck to the rest of you!

Hi All,

No snow from an easterly, no snow from a northerly.

I appreciate I live in London but do feel deflated and mislead by some of the forecasts that were given.

If we can't get any from these temps then I really don't hold much hope for the rest of the winter. A bit dramatic I know but to get nothing from Fridays easterly was unbeleviable.
