[i love snow]

Heavier now. And seems heavier than Friday. Better than I expected

[ISAAC]

The snow is not hitting stoke

its amazing how much a few miles makes a difference.

Been snowing in south stoke non stop for the last 3 and half hours.

temps are on the wrong side though, 0.6c is not allowing it to stick, in fact very slight thaw on some exposed spots.

[we_want_snow]

I was harping on yesterday about the MO app showing snow all day

Everyone seemed so negative

What I've learnt this spell is the MO forecast is bang on within 48 hours normally, they revised yesterdays potential and upgraded todays, and that's bang on

[Gord]

Getting much heavier here as well...it does appear heavier than Friday but Friday's seemed to lay a bit thicker and faster. Still managed an extra 2cm here so far today though...and getting on for 3.

Getting heavier here in Dudley now on high ground near Turners Hill if anyone knows it (175M ASL)?, starting to settle on the roads here as well.

[Staffordshire]

Not heavier than friday for me but i was lucky enough to be under some bright radar returns then.

[the lad sharp]

No thaw here temp showing exactly 0. Still coming down strong and lots left to come by the looks of the radar. Unbridled joy!

[phil nw.]

It`s been snowing steadily all morning here-since around 8am.Moderate intensity now and this has laid another 3cm so far and building on top of Fridays 10cm.

It looks like a few hours of this over much of the Midlands yet-more than expected.

[camperstron]

Getting heavier in south brum too!! Winds picking up a bit too.

[we_want_snow]

Still not sticking temp still at 0.8

[cyclonic happiness]

Is anyone else worried that there's a big eastward push, or is that going to meet the easterly and pivot over us more?

Looking decent now for today, glad as Tuesdays event looks non eventful!

[nats]

Yep, much heavier in Stourbridge now, proper flakes, albeit 5p sized ones

Really going for it now. Fantastic stuff!

After today, the week looks quite quiet for the West Midlands on paper...but who really knows anymore! Anything can happen!

[Luke]

Just got to take each day as it comes. Never know what will happen!

[Hathers]

Heavier snow in Telford now. Great stuff.

[Bishop Brennan]

Very light dandruff-like snow here for the past 45 minutes - perhaps it's starting to edge northwards now.

Wind has suddenly picked up.

[Adzyy]

Jealous of you all.

[The Wolf]

Why the hell isnt it heavy here?

[Wadey]

How long does the radar suggest it's going to last for ?
