[Backtrack]

It's a certainty. The two fronts are merging over our heads, there's a lot of energy being transferred into the system, it will pep up substantially.

I think once the fronts join the triple point may drag rain/snow down from the north meaning whats to our west will stall which is where the snow/rain comes from for the evening and night

[SNOW GO]

Sleet has now turned in the last few minutes to Moderate- Heavy grainy snow with Blizzard condtions reported at the Stoke vs West brom game.
