Is it a guaranteed yet or do the next runs define it?

When are they due?

Nothing is ever guaranteed when you're talking whether - but it's about as close as it can be.

Heavy snow here covering quickly, we're at the point where the two band are meeting so maybe we're in for a right old dumping?? Has ANYONE actually forecast this band? Gonna leave alot of red faces, (if only from the cold )

[Ian Ballinger]

Think NAE showed this band?

Yes CH definitely heavier now and settling well.

Recent NW radar images shows the area of pink expanding and some darker patches over our area too.

Out of nowhere-as they say.

Think NAE showed this band?

yeah but that was just a snizzly bit of crap, this is good, honest , hard working snow

Evening all, Snowing here in Burton

[Ian Brown]

Think NAE showed this band?

It did - picked it up 48 hours ago and has kept with it in varying degrees in each run.

SLAP BANG! Over Leicester

Can't believe i'm actually seeing this, a band of snow that's actually intensified over Leicester that isn't rain or a thunderstorm. This is unbelievable. Absolutely no models or forecasters predicted this for tonight, it's not just hit and miss either, it's a mass band that covers the whole of the Midlands and it's not light here, it's big flakes.

[Adzyy]

Just went out to the bin and everywhere is white, only a dusting but oh my god, I'm so surprised.

The two heavy sections of the bands are about to merge over you too, wonder what that will bring???

[Summer of 95]

Still snowing here in Shrewsbury, but it still won't stick beyond a light dusting. Most roads are still wet

[Staffordshire]

Yeah we still cant get it pinned with 100% accuracy! could still possibly stall over us and die out saturday afternoon! Sososo glad ive got everything out the way i can just follow this tonight and tommorow wooo

[camperstron]

A nice cm or so outside in south brum!! This bodes well

[Staffordshire]

P.s anyone update me on 12z's? on phone so cant view charts and dont fancy reading MOD thread

[warden]

Been snowing in Hinckley or about an hour starting to cover paths and roads

[Barbmac]

Currently 0.2^oC in West Malvern, we've had some light snow which is starting to stick. At the moment it's eased off, think we're at the tail end of the current band of light precipitation. Roll on tomorrow!

[we_want_snow]

Nothing sticking in Shrewsbury!!!

Tomorrow/Saturday had better deliver, this last week has been painstakingly poor here, hardly no snow settled anywhere, annoying!

[we_want_snow]

It always happens Conor

You normally do better than your friends 14 miles west

Look at the forecast for tomorrow/Saturday, you're ahead of the game

It's not the driest of snow that's for sure

[we_want_snow]

Just been out it felt drier than some I've seen settle before
