10cm very nice hope some of that gets over this way

[Adzyy]

5cms will do me, if it can reach...

[Essan]

A nice dry, breezy day - ideal for drying the washing

I did think earlier that I might get 3 flakes of snow today - but looking at the radar, I suspect I was a bit optimistic .......

[Summer of 95]

Light snow here blowing about; nothing settling yet. -15 uppers; surely, surely that must mean finally a really cold night or two??

[ANYWEATHER]

Afternoon folks. I think some dynamic snow showers will become widespread and more organized later as the very cold uppers encroach from the NE from around now. It will also be interesting with the precip to the south of us and how far north it will get, perhaps grazing the south midlands? Anyway some bitterly cold weather on offer within the next couple/three days, unusually cold for this time of year. Enjoy the snow falling and if youre lucky and its certainly possible[ settling]

yes a few cold nights and in that wind...... well

[Serendipity]

I just got back from watching my son's football match. It was very very cold as the wind is incredibly icy. It snowed most of the match but only lightly with nothing settling. In heavier bursts the flakes were bigger.

We've had some snow on and off though it has stopped here for now. However, none of it has settled but it is getting gradually colder. Therefore, any falls later on may settle.

[Supacell]

I think snow will settle as we get towards evening and then overnight some parts that are within the lines of showers could get a decent covering. Other parts will get very little though.

[Adzyy]

Snowed all day. Not settled at all. Boo

[syed2878]

doesn't look inspiring if the met office forecasts anything to go by for the west mids. Here's hoping for a change.

[cyclonic happiness]

The colder upper are now moving in overhead as the snow has turned more fluffy and there are proper flakes in it too.

The temps must be falling as well or it's be more sleety at this level.

I think it'll be settling within the next 2-3 hours, especially as the temperatures fall for night.

[Gord]

Think we may just end up with flurries I'm afraid looking at how showers start to weaken as they come inland. Hopefully, they'll either intensify or the radar is playing tricks again. It's having a good go out there now at the moment though.

Means snow has fallen on every single month this winter. Although December's brief affair is hardly worth mentioning!

[Gustywind]

Agreed Gord, although the ones heading to the wash now look a bit more interesting, let's see how they get on.

[cyclonic happiness]

Moderate/heavy snow here now, that area near coventry and leicester is really pepping up.

This is why sou should always go with the hear and now and not with the forecasts.

[Adzyy]

Snowflakes dont look as wet now.

[Adzyy]

Woaaaaaah blizzard. Ice pellets but woaaaaah

[Adzyy]

Stopped now, that was fun though.

[Potent Gust]

Quite a heavy snow shower just passed through here. I am enjoying this last bite winter is offering us!

[Staffordshire]

Defo a different type of snow now not wet.

[Potent Gust]

Yes if we catch a heavy shower after dark it may settle

[kmanmx]

Sorry guys only just noticed the MetO forecast. Missed all the build up. Whats going on ?

I'm looking at MetO forecast and it has me down for 15hours of heavy snow. Yet I look at the NAE and GFS output and precipitation is nowhere to be seen. What the heck is going on???

[Dancerwithwings]

Like you said you've just looked at the Meto forecast !!!!

its the radar cast you should be looking at !!!!!

and like you said what is going on!!!!!

not much to be honest....
