The odd flake here now

[Scoutsy]

Not a sausage here yet

[Staffordshire]

Looks like clearing the reigon quickly?

[Supacell]

Nothing here in Belper yet - i thought it was forecast to be here by now.

[XENA]

I think it was later for East Mids...its not far away now :-)

[Bolton67]

We have a few flurries

[Luke]

I can see the first flakes, wooo

[nats]

First few flakes falling now

[i love snow]

Light snow here :-)

[PolarWarsaw]

The odd dandruff flake.

[Staffordshire]

Finally getting first flakes

[we_want_snow]

All but stopped here atm, nothing but a sugar coating on a few surfaces currently

[Gustywind]

Light snow here in Heath Hayes and a light covering on all surfaces already. Does look to have perked up a bit in the last hour, hopefully a trend set to continue over the next hour or two.

[beccaboo]

Nothing here in Long Eaton yet Any idea whether I'm gonna get any and what tomorrows snow will be like for me?

[Summer of 95]

Very wet 0·5 cm or so on grass, cars, few exposed bits of pavement, but most concrete is just wet. This heavier stuff is not helping because it's just turning everything wetter- the light stuff was what stuck.

[Spah1]

Post from the North West here! Started off pretty pathetic then has picked up quite nicely now. Passing it over to you and considering Preston is virtually at sea level so you guys should get a nice covering. Enjoy.

[Rose]

Nothing yet here my way ( Tutbury). Very cloudy & feels positve, I swear I can smell it............. here's hoping, no work tomorrow!

[picog]

Lane is going white, but snow might stop soon judging by the radar:-(

[the lad sharp]

Well b----r me gently its snowing in Hartshill

[Supacell]

Nothing here in Long Eaton yet Any idea whether I'm gonna get any and what tomorrows snow will be like for me?

I think you and I would probably see similar amounts, me being that bit further north but you further east. The fact the NW is getting snow bodes very well for the East Midlands, as our temps and dps are lower.

I think north Nottinghamshire (Mansfield/Newark) could be better placed though. I expect places like this could get quite a good covering. For us, probably 2-5cm, providing it does actually fall as snow.

Currently watching sheep on the TV awaiting the countryfile weather forecast which should be interesting

[smethwickgg102]

Very light snow here in Burton :-)

[i love snow]

Getting abit heavier now.... Also out of interest where's the second band coming from or likely to form?

[Gord]

Snow has pepped up here, although I'd still class it as 'light'. Everything has a dusting on it now including the roads. Looking at the radar, not much left and a dusting is probably the best we're going to get...for now.

[nats]

Lamp post showing getting heavier :-)

Should qualify this, it's still very light!
