Lmao!! Don't worry, I will turn it off tomorrow when I get back to Leicester

[MKN]

The only thing left not tinted white now is the road...!

Anyway, time for another chart.

Doesnt appear to be heading south on the western side atm. Hopefully as the low continues to move east this will be more apparent, for all of us in the midlands its what we need to happen to keep the precip falling for quite a few more hours.

[The Wolf]

Yes, heavy snow starting to settle here aswell! How long will this keep up for?

[cyclonic happiness]

I hear Leicester's gonna get a foot!!!! ehem!

Moderate falls of sleet for an hour or more but nothing sticking and temperatures still too high at +3ºC. Dewpoint down to 0ºC though.

Temperatures need to fall now with darkness and for the PPN not to die off or move too far East/NE.

Which deity did we offend? It's snowing in Nottingham...

[snowhope]

Getting close to 3 inches here now, is it still due to intensify over the region this evening? Malvern Must have 5 to 6 inches by now I would have thought!

Cheers

Halesowen now in "Snow Factor 3" - Everything (except roads) are at least half-covered by white. Perhaps white tinges on edges of roads.

[locneverstop]

Down to freezing! Now just need to wait.

what's the highest snow factor out of interest?

Some very impressive rainfall in the south near the center of the low

Where's that image from, SnowTornado? Is it a Netweather image?

[conor123]

Been snowing in Telford for 2 hours or so but nothing settling as of yet though it looks like it is a bit higher up.

[Strider]

No snow at all between Derby and Notts ....

[tom_f123]

Settling a little on grass and pavements here, but not heavy enough to settle on roads which are very wet.

[Crimson_Sprite]

HOLY TOLEDO BATMAN ITS SNOWING IN NOTTS!!!

and seems to be getting harder by the second! OK- its mixed with rain actually- but its a start!!!! WOO-HOO!!! Snow sheild is melting! M-M-E-E-E-E-E-E-L-L-L-L-T-T-T-T-I-I-I-I-N-N-G-G-G-..........

**runs off to drink heavily in celebratory madness****

It's up to 5" now and still snowing heavily!

If you get back to leicester It might be snowmageddon over here while you are in Wales *evil laugh*

[fordy]

The strange thing about today is even though its been bucketing it down for a couple of hours or so now its very wet stuff, with only a dusting of snow about, it really is'nt topping up at all atm. Really need the temperture to drop abit more. I actually got more snow cover from a 40 minute snow shower last week than i have outside atm even though todays snow has been more intense and longer lasting so far.

[A.J]

bloomin 'eck....proper white stuff falling out of the sky for the 1st time today! ...Congrats to the forecasters, bang on time!

[Crimson_Sprite]

[Arctic Hare]

Real, proper snow now in Bewdley. Down to 0.7°C and snowing steadily. Thin covering now on grass and car roofs and starting to add house roofs too. Roads still just wet.

[stevomatt]
