that seems high, all areas below zero, why snow is so dry, im at -0.7C and my elevation lower

Ack sorry half asleep and my '-' key sticks a bit so it didn't register! That should be -1.0. We've got that very fine snizzly snow, but quite a bit of it's falling at the mo.

[Gustywind]

Getting heavier in Heath Hayes, visibility reducing also, my usual bedroom window view of the hednesford hills is completely obscured now.

[Matty23]

Looks like the front has stalled i think

[mildmuck]

Currently 1.0^oC here, have got around 2 cm cover. It's not snowing at the moment, though.

Edit: I tell a lie, it's snowing again.

Interesting .. temperature reading -0.4 here, 65m ASL.

Currently Heavy Snow, Sicking to most surfaces. (even main roads)

[fortean101]

Vale of Evesham it is 1.0 c and moderate/heavy snow has been snowing heavily since 6.30am kids school is open! Oh dear oh dear sent them off to school regardless!

[Barbmac]

The wind's started whipping up and the fine snow is coming down thickly. -1.1^oC currently.

Two of my cats decided to have a full on fight with an intruding cat just now, all rolling around in the snow! LOL. When it was over, you could hear their feet making that squeaky snow sound.

Heavy snow here now roads are white

[PolarWarsaw]

Whiteout, 3-4cms already.

[Summer of 95]

1cm now in Shrewsbuty and still snowing- like elsewhere its dry, small flakes but a lot of them. Finally looling white instead of green and grey with white patches.

[azores92]

over a cm here i should say, but early days yet. quite heavy and rapidly accumulating out there, gooood times!

[ARB]

Not snowing here in Burton and they appear to have had very little last night - there was more in Lichfield when I left home this morning.

[conor123]

Moderate snow and howling winds here in Telford , only had 5 hours sleep from anxiety/excitement :lol:. GFS has moderate snow till the evening now yay.

[Wadey]

Is the front stalling at all ?

[Chess01]

Snowing heavy in stoke

[Soma]

Whiteout, 3-4cms already.

Thank God!

[ISAAC]

Snowing very nicely here in stoke. Looks to get heavier in next 15mins judging by the radar

[Gustywind]

I used to work in burton, rubbish location for snow.

[JL23]

Moderate-Heavy snow here in South Cheshire North Staffs/North shrops in the fireing line for this as well.

[ANYWEATHER]

Is the front stalling at all ?

The front will stall over the midlands and start to fizzle out late today and overnight. But copious amounts of snow for everyone before then!

[ARB]

I used to work in burton, rubbish location for snow.

Yet in both february last year and monday of this week Burton held onto the snow when it had almost gone completely in Lichfield, 11 miles away - in both cases it was being just that further bit east that made all the difference to the dew points. Todays snow is less marginal however so hopefully we won't get such dramatic differences over very short distances.

[we_want_snow]

Heavy in Shrewsbury now this is the real thing!

Windy too!

[fourseasons]

Snow very light here ...
