nice covering of a few cms here in Northampton. Not snowing now but sky is looking full of it. Just hoping the next band is snow and not rain. we're on a knife edge here and it could go either way today.

From the dew point GFS charts, you guys in the E Mids should be OK for snow today.

[Coventry Lee]

I'm travelling through Nuneaton at the moment and as far as I can and something is hitting the windscreen. It looks wet rather than white. And the puddles confirm it; we have......rain.

Few snow flakes in Derby

I'm not hopeful. However the metO forecast has heavy snow for us tonight, so it might get all washed away during the day, and be replaced by a nice pristine layer overnight!

[Costa Del Fal]

Looks like rain for much of the Midlands today then though returning to snow tonight for a time as showers get going again for a bit. Glad to see the Cheshire Gap occurred at home last night night too.

The band has arrived in stoke and it is ...... Sleet.

Do expect it to turn to snow when the heavier when the precipitation picks up

[Gustywind]

It's very marginal either way so you never know, always a chance it could turn back to snow in heavier bursts also.

Cotswolds

[laheymichele]

Snow now here in stoke on trent!!!

[smethwickgg102]

Chucking down with rain here in Tipton, didn't even have the common decency to turn to sleet first :-(

[MKN]

The gd news is at least the bands firing up nicely over the last half hour. Its that heavy stuff id expect many to see some snow from as a fair few reports in nw thread of snow

[snow freak]

it's so annoying when we get a covering of snow only to get it replaced by rain and then possibly turning back to snow. What a waste. By the time this second band turns back to snow the ground will be so wet there is little chance of any snow settling unless it is incredibly heavy. Saying that, the wet ground will be treacherous this evening and tomorrow morning if it freezes over tonight.

rock on, just started to snow here again, light at the moment, and temps holding steady at 0.2, should be interesting when heavy stuff arrives, also looks good for people East of here.

At work in coalville leics and its snowing again to add to the half inch or so that fell overnight

[ISAAC]

Sleet has turned to proper snow now.

[MKN]

Seems to be a bit of mixed bag atm I presume largely down to the intensity

[Potent Gust]

Had it all this morning. Started as sleet, then rain, then sleet and now snow

[Turnedoutniceagain]

9am and the METO radar's on the money - snow starts again

[Bottesford]

A cm or two here but paths/roads are a melted slushfest as I think its a little above freezing.

[Turnedoutniceagain]

Light snow hear

No - can't hear it

[Serendipity]

rain here
