Snow in Shrewsbury! Incredible

After hours of hail, sleet, rain it's snowing heavy and sticking!!

[Ian Ballinger]

OMG it's turned back to snow! Never expected hat in a million years- big flakes and sticking too!

Hopefully Telford next, the heavy stuff doesn't look too far away on the radar

[Brrrrr!]

Damn shame, certainly been delayed by miles, was hoping it would be here by 8pm, forecasts said 5pm

Yeah, always thought that was to early. Looking at NAE and Met Office and other bits and bobs it was always around midnight... Fingers crossed, I am off into town soon and I won't mind walking home if we get snow

The band of red in South Wales is moving west, and on its current route will cover the south midlands... MAYBE!! What do I know??

[Bishop Brennan]

Sleety rain here at the moment - fingers crossed for some evaporative cooling later on

Seriously incredible how intense that band of rain, sleet and snow is over Wales. If it remains cold enough, and if it arrives in that sort of intensity, I think it may just give me the most torrential sleet or snow I have ever witnessed. :o

[Brrrrr!]

And its got some power building up in it according to the radar

[Ian Ballinger]

Nevermind, they are in Wales for the night, and posted on Facebook about the 2 inches

[RobR]

Intense echos above...strangely not as intense as I thought it would be. Its a very icey snow falling too.

[Bishop Brennan]

I'm sure I just heard a rumble of thunder????

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Mark, what's your temp and dp at the moment.

[we_want_snow]

Absolutely teaming down now!!

It's a white out including main roads!!

[Serendipity]

Heavy rain here again

[i love snow]

Very heavy ice pellets. Pretty cool but prefer snow so hoping for the change

[Ian Ballinger]

Quite heavy now, and looks like we have it for a while on the radar, lets hope it stays as snow

[picog]

Heavy ice pellets here too. All white.

[we_want_snow]

Definately some ice falling in amongst the snow

If its snowing here then it will anywhere!
