It's supposed to stall over us anyway and pivot I think! Could be around for rest of day just not as heavy! Also haven't looked at models today yet. Are we still on for repeat sort of performance Monday?

[Adzyy]

It's really tiny flakes now, is this it fizzling out here or is it meant to get heavier?

[PolarWarsaw]

It's slowly fizzling out now. It's like moderate snizzle, but its been a much better event that I previously expected.

I think its already stalled, but bring on the pivot! id be happy with moderate snow for a few more hours!

And I've had a brief look at the models, and they show a possible event on sunday, all subject to change though of course!

[Shezale coventry]

Very light flakes in coventry but comming down hard for past couple hours 6cms have fallen already and main roads are now filling a sign that snow is building

It be defiantly nice nice for the snow to stay to have more heavy snow on top for change. Doesn't happen often

[I remember Atlantic 252]

lots of little flakes now, around, hopefully be amazing back at wildwood

[Chunky Flake]

Cannock roads are grid locked apparently . My partner has been sent home from work. I aint getting home from Wolverhampton tonight then

NW Coventry

[Potent Gust]

Best snow event here for a while. Several cm's already

[Serendipity]

Looks like it is easing off to my west and the sky is brighter here although still snowing hard.

[Dancerwithwings]

My daughter is on her way home from school,went straight to the shed sledge out ill be ready before she gets home yippie

[Cornflake Girl]

A lorry is currently blocking the A4103 Worcester to Hereford Road near the Texaco garage at the crossroads with the A417, so beware!

[SalopWatcher]

Bet lots of towns in the mids are finding this this afternoon but most schools that opened this AM are closing and according to the BBC "Arriva has recalled all its buses which operate from Shrewsbury bus station because of safety concerns in the snow"

Still coming down, the band has fragmented over the last hour but plenty of showers around this afternoon

[Adzyy]

It's been tiny flakes all day, would've liked some bigger flakes but we got that on Monday.

Very pleased though, didn't even expect this to happen.

[Staffordshire]

Great isn't it!? Now 9cm level snow on our patio table. That radar sweet spot hasn't moved from over us for an hour or so now. Best snow for years!! Yayyyyy!

TCBTS

12cm level here now what are your drifts? i measured some at 19/20

[MKN]

A reasonable snow event here 4cms new snow roughly although the drifting makes it harder to guage exact amounts. Fortunately that fell on top of 4cm we already had.

[snowangel32]

Sustained moderate snow this is looking like being better than 2010 in terms of snow.

[phil nw.]

Steady snow since around 8am heavy and blowing at times.Around 8cm(3 ins) lying up to now as a conservative estimate.

[ISAAC]

people are worried about it fizzling out. This is common with such bands, it will pep up again in parts and then fizzle out towards the east after 6pm

[Adzyy]

6cm here now on the paths/roads...nearing 9cm on grass where lying snow remains from Monday.

[Gustywind]

Looks like the heaviest of the snow may have passed now, it's definitely lost intensity in the past hour, although still coming down moderately here, not as heavy as earlier though thank god.

[Ian Ballinger]

So how long should this last in telford

[klippieboo]

Very heavy in telford again now laughing at people trying to get up the hill in front of the house!!
