2 Cm of snow in Chesterfield, covering the roads and still falling now

[SalopWatcher]

Woke up to a really fine coating of some surfaces but over the last 30 minutes been under fairly intense snow shower thats covered everything a little more... strong wind so it was whipping around! Light snow still...

A nice start to the day.

The area of snow we just head is heading for Telford/Wolverhampton

[picog]

A very light semi-covering of snow here, and a few flurries. Lane is white, and only 1 vehicle so far to spoil it!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Snow flurry here now, my god this really is like a blizzard

heaviest snow of winter here golly

[i love snow]

Just had moderate snow fall here. Think the winds become more favourable later but the uppers are higher so most likely rain

[I remember Atlantic 252]

shockingly quiet on here, if I have had a snow flurry, must be 10 times more elsewhere, left everything white, first time I think ive ever seen a snow shower move in from the west

[snowangel32]

Light covering here hope for a bit more later

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Metcheck is unrealistic, it gives me 24cms of snow on sunday

[shaky]

Any chance of the main band falling as snow here cos its currently falling as snow across scotland at the moment!!maybe a surprise later???

Some pictures of the great 1991 blizzards in coventry upto 31cms that day.

[80's child]

Had lots of snow so far this winter in SE Birmingham, although disruption to my school has been limited (1 early finish 1 day off). So my fingers are crossed for a big snow event sunday into monday as some models are starting to show. Does anyone here with model experience know what the percentage risk is for this event.

Cheers.

Yeah they are quoting my 31cm. It was though Dec 1990.

[Stationary Front]

Those pics were from Dec 1990. Feb 91 was good but the snow was not as deep. Not seen snow as good & deep as that since sadlly.

Metcheck is showing a rain / sleet event for Sunday - or am I reading it incorrectly?

[i love snow]

Many reports of snow in northwest! Surley a good sign?

[TonyH]

Not necessarily, it may start as snow later this afternoon for the Mildlands but less cold uppers soon turn it to rain by this evening.

I gather from the model outlook thread that a warm sector has appeared to spoil the party on Sunday!

[Serendipity]

pesky warm sector! Anyway, another lovely day, blue skies, not as cold as I thought it might feel although the wind is chilly.

I'd have got away with it if it wasn't for that pesky warm sector.
