[#windysnow#]

Goodnight been a great few days that's why we love snow and cold weather! More please soon

[lesta_snow]

14 hours of constant snow now haha! can't believe it!

[SL7]

It's still snowing! My car which I cleaned a few hours ago is covered again [not to the same extent].

[NickS]

Still snowing in Nottingham. Hasn't stopped since about 7pm. My car, which I cleared yesterday now has about 6cm on it. Should make for an interesting drive to work tomorrow!!

Well I've cleaned my car twice tonight and now another cm has appeared. Still snowing and more to come possibly looking at the radar. Mapperley Arnold roads could be interesting in the morning! But they should be clear to travel on.

[Supacell]

There has been light snow all night and looks to have been another 2-3cm outside. I wonder what today will bring, I am now under a yellow warning for snow and it is still snowing, although nothing heavy.

[Polar Maritime]

Mod heavy snow here all night, around 40cm so far, has turned lighter in the last 30min.

[MKN]

Well looks we,LL have to make the most of the snow this week as every model has mild wet weather return by the weekend its a way off so you never know might last a little longer

[Supacell]

40cm! Wow! Nothing like that here, more like 10cm.

[jimi86]

Roads around here are pretty treacherous just now! Already an accident on Chesterfield Road.

[shaky]

Beautiful scenes here in leicester this morning!!if only there was blue sky sunshine it would look sparkling!!

[Polar Maritime]

Still light/mod snow here, looking at the radar we could get a few more hours of snowfall out of this front.

Temp -1.7c

Dp -2.4c

E/S/E Wind 4mph

[shaky]

Might see a few sbow showers across the east midlands today according to bbc!nothing to heavy but at least its snow!!

[weatherguy]

my thoughts when reading the latest model output:

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Bolton67]

Light snizzle just started to fall

[#windysnow#]

Yep we have snizzle too, but nothing showing on any radars. Why is this?

[andy_leics22]

Absolutely amazing here this morning, the snow is the deepest ive seen it in Leicester. I put one of those 15cm ruler's in the back garden before i left for work and it came upto 12-13cm but that wasnt even on the grass because we dont have any in the back!

[LadyEv06]

We now have 8 inches of lying snow, local schools closed today and its still snowing.

[JonMillar]

Looks like it snowed continually from about 10pm last night until now. Though we are now on the bottom of the radar band.

Overall 13cm lying snow in total, with melts and compaction over the past week, we must have had around 20cm overall this week.

Was in Ashby yesterday where it snowed continually from 9am throughout the day - couldn't believe it when we got back to Nottingham at about 5pm and it basically hadn't snowed all day.

Ah well! Good things come to those who wait - the kids have finally got a snow day from school.

[jimi86]

We've been clinging to the bottom edge of this front for the last couple of hours here. Thought it would have pushed on over us a while ago - not complaining though!

[#windysnow#]

We are having a moderate snizzle fall here where is it coming from.

And yes before anyone says, I know the sky!

[chillyblast]

In London today, apart from the trains being a complete nightmare, it keeps trying to snow. The London Metro paper claims we are in for a week of temps that will plummett to -20C in the midlands....

Hmmm.. the models don't agree?

[Polar Low]

15cm level cover here in Newark, drifts exceeding 20cm's comfortably.

Chances of snow spreading north overnight tonight- anyone got a chart demonstrating this; haven't taken a look today.

[Bolton67]

Current temp is -0.5 and on the up !!! was -1.2 at 10am

Some very cold nights ahead this week, models are showing a breakdown to something less colder at the weekend but it woiuldn't take much to keep us in the freezer
