Freezing rain in stoke.

[Matty23]

that snow in northen england is that heading towards us midlanders??? looks promising

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

I believe an upper trough is pushing over us later, it should enhance the ppn some what , hopefully see an extra snowfall later

[Bolton67]

It's very fine snow , mark. I cleared my car about 1 hour ago, it's now got a sugar dusting on it.

[Clazzer]

Steady graupel in Stoke covering areas where the wind had previously cleared.

[Serendipity]

I think we have sleet maybe even rain.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Yes I think its snow grains here, really is dandruff snow but not rain

[cold stoke]

Snowing in kidgrove very light

[Staffordshire]

Mondays snow potential lost on the 6z now.

[Gustywind]

I thought you only get freezing rain with high uppers? That's not the case here.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Mondays snow potential lost on the 6z now.

Never really was a snow risk monday, tomorrow light snow I think, bbc gives heavy snow, but will expect that to downgrade to light

[Serendipity]

It is warmer today than I expected so we are getting a thaw.

[we_want_snow]

Alot less snow around than yesterday can only presume it's thawing

About 2 inches left on a few surfaces

[Shezale coventry]

look on the 00z

Snow event is still on

[Staffordshire]

Snow event is still on

yes sorry i stopped viewing, i was going to wait till the end of the run but yes it pivots around us keeping us under snow for a while. if sundays front can get shifted west a little more then i reckon we will see 25cm+ in the w mids, if i could pick where to be id say northamptom as of this morning.

Staffs, that's the kiss of death now. Lol

[Barbmac]

[Adzyy]

Drip drip drip

25cms from tomorrow's fall or in total? 25cm looks like a very generous guess looking at the NAE 6z! I reckon here in Coventry we might muster up another 5-10cm, particularly if we get a western shift.

[camperstron]

No sign of a thaw in south brum. Very crisp, still lots of snow over and a bitterly cold wind.

Snow cover, not snow over

[the lad sharp]

Light very fine snow falling here. Def no thaw.

sunday and monday/tuesday's events added to our totals, i think its very possible i have 15cm easy

also a general note, 6+ days, but next friday has been modeled as another snow chance since yesterday now however this run has a much better angle of attack (not NW-SE more W-E), obviously it will chop and change right to the day but we have alot of snow chances this week

[Ian Ballinger]

I thought it was going to be colder than this.....it's certainly no 2010 with this thaw already

[picog]

Light snow here. Just popped up out of nowhere.
