Steady light snow in Evesham, though not quite heavy enough as yet to settle on exposed surfaces (hoping that'll soon change though!)

Hope it changes for you as well. If Evesham gets the heavier stuff than that would be great news for the whole of the west mids to your north!

[we_want_snow]

Had over half and hour moderate/heavy snow in Shrewsbury now

[German John]

Moderate light snow here sine about 9-30. Covering patches already. Radar looks promising

[Snowmoon]

Rather bizarrely, given the general north-westwards movement of the front, the Netweather radar shows the snow spreading south-westwards towards here from Bromsgrove/Worcester and should be here in a few minutes!

Edit: And now it's here - just tiny flakes drifting on the wind at the moment, but definitely snow nonetheless!

Interesting radar watching ahead.............

North of Wolverhampton seems to be the sweet spot at the moment for some decent snowfall.

Current snow flurries in Sedgley........slight coverings on cars etc. Forecast is suggesting the main snow arriving from lunchtime......

Met has a heavy snow symbol for 3pm this afternoon in DY3, but this changes like the wind!

[Hoofhearted]

Moderate/heavy snow here in oswestry, the radar looks good for today! ;-)

[sicko2ndbest]

Can anyone post the latest runs?

[The Wolf]

Snowing here and sticking and adding to exisiting snow.

Is this going to last all day?

[Soma]

Scratch my "should be here by lunchtime" comment - it's here already! Small flakes but good to see! Radar looking interesting too!

[Staffordshire]

The whole front seems to be pushing west now, could be good news for overnight if this carrys on

[snowangel32]

Looks like lasting until around 8 at present time with maybe heavy snow later according to radar and current forecasts.

[Bishop Brennan]

Still just light but persistent snow. Not that I'm complaining - this event could so easily have missed the Midlands altogether

A few hours of this will at least partially recover some of the snow lost yesterday, which is fine by me.

[nobble]

Been snowing (small flakes) but occasionally heavy bursts since 8.45 am had another 1cm very surprising

[Barbmac]

Light snow has started again, falling on what we already had. Current temp -1.2^oC, hasn't been above freezing for a few days now.

[Clazzer]

Stopped in Stoke now.

[Serendipity]

The snow still continues but actually is melting now. Our patio had a new covering as did the roofs but now the snow is so fine it is just melting on landing. It seems to be doing more harm than good now!

[we_want_snow]

Been nicely snowing in Shrews for 1 hour now, bout 0.5/1 cm added I'd say

Yes it's the same old story for Stratford I'm afraid , I worked there for 5yrs and due to it been very low ground if ofern does this , it wasn't much better in Henley where my parents live, it annoyed me that much I moved to the Cotswolds !

[MarkT]

Sticking here and not melting, surfaces covering up nicely.

[cold stoke]

Moderate snow in south stoke

where about of stoke Edited January 20, 2013 by cold stoke

[Jupiters Winter]

Oxygen for my snowman. 1cm covering so far. NAE looks good for the area aswell as the radar.
