Shame that real heavy precip the pink and white just fizzled and moved SE.

Yes we didn't quite tap into the pinks and whites this time but I'm just happy to see settling snow. I wonder what happened down in MK as it looked like a direct hit for them!

Front stalling and moving south slightly, so anyone in a line east to west of the West Midlands county could get something, and about 15 miles north or south.

Snow coming down in heavier bursts once again. Lovely to watch.

Gone somewhat lighter here for the time being - concerned its starting to clear the MK/Leighton Buzzard area... wasn't expecting this after a day of light rain nonetheless. Even if it does clear some patchy light rain/snow looks to follow overnight. Down to 0.2C here now... not expecting clearing skies! Good old covering, shame only the hardiest patches of snow remain from pre-Christmas.

The BBC forecast had a line of snow extending from N Wales through Shrops/Staffs/Leics/Northants tomorrow which looked quite interesting. Also some separate stuff towards Notts/Derby.

How the hell can it be 1.5 and still be throwing it down with rain? Tonight you can clearly see the effects of global warming. 

What has that got to do with global warming? surely it's just down to the dew points in your particular area

I bet if it were the same conditions 50 years ago you would still get rain, nowt to do with global warming, you can get rain down to freezing and beyond you know.

Dewpoints yes but I was looking forward to a nice day of snow tomorrow, our local radio forecast have got it wrong twice in the space of 3 weeks. The last time they forecast heavy snow for christmas eve and all we got was a slight covering then clear skys. The frost and ice was the main problem then it quickly melted.

Around 8" recorded over the highest ground in parts of Wales and from what I've read so far, a couple of inches in some parts of the west Midlands. Seems my estimates weren't too far off. Only managed to get 1cm at the most for this part of Birmingham, quite lower than my 1-2" snowfall estimates earlier on today (which would have materialised had it not rained in the way it did before the snow fell).

Can't wait until I get the proper snowfall, with 4-6" snow depths! Most likely will have to wait until February or March for that.

Funnyly enough...we did better in october last year 2"

Wasn't offered a glass mate - only had buckets available - training in holding objects comes in next year's government handouts .

I read that statistically march is the snowiest month in England. I never believed that statistic though

Very heavy snow falling here now, and i'm not one for exaggeration. About an inch on all surfaces and the digi thermometer is reading 0.1C! Hoping the band doesn't move much further northwards as this could be good stuff.
