NAE is totally borked for some reason. GFS is closer, but still not perfect.

[Ian Brown]

Light snow resumes.

[MKN]

Gfs shows snow returning around 6pm slight changes to exact positioning of the heaviest stuff but largely the same as 00z

[Polar Maritime]

Blizzard conditions continuing here, there's going to be some massive drift's here later on, already 1m+ in places.

So midlands still looks good for quite a bit yeh?ive just taken a look at the ukmo and the midlands is slap bang in the middle of the heaviest snow!!

[Potent Gust]

Yes GFS good for Midlands still

[reno]

Around 10-15cm here on outskirts of stoke on Trent, 800ft asl and lots blowing off fields, drifts

Already up to 2ft.

At work now in centre only around 5cm and

Getting a bit slushy

[Mair Snaw]

Blizzard conditions continue here.

Yep same here seems no let up insight and with things to get worse as the day progresses its not looking good..... the wind is really hellish up here at the moment and the snow is drifting real bad, school still open tho as teacher walked to school....

[#windysnow#]

Could someone try and do a graphic on how all the ppn shifts back of the midlands tonight as I am struggling to get my head round it and also a time frame

[Wadey]

Not a thing here :/ just slush really weird

[Gustywind]

Looks like the front is starting to stall.

[shaky]

Yes GFS good for Midlands still

Get in thereðŸ˜!!cant wait to wake up to 15cms of snow tomorrow!!

[Arctic Hare]

Still a thin slushy covering on the grass (I got my >50% lying at 09.00 stat!) but it's not amounting to much now as the rain continues to come down. Glad to read it's been much better for some. We'll see what today brings.

Yea i was thinking that too we could be in for alot of the white stuff over next 24 hours

Yes BS, im expecting another 24hrs of persistent snow/blizzards in these areas and model'd to getting heavy'er tonight, power cut's are a concern... tilly lamp will be at hand tonight.

We already got a lot of it here, roads are really bad the wind is really starting to drift the snow as well and no sign of it stopping just seems to keep coming and its ment to be worse later

[Polar Maritime]

The main event/concern is tonight.

[Mair Snaw]

Yes PM things are bad enough already and its only been snowing for 10 hours so just cant think what another 24 hours will bring....power cuts could well happen if this continues as it is and with the roads this bad it could be a few days before anybody could get here. just glad we have plenty of coal and food to keep us going..... not seen it this bad up here for a long time.

[Costa Del Fal]

Dodgy conditions for most for the rest of the day in terms of rain/snow but looks like a fair bit of snow for all tonight.

[Ian Ballinger]

Radar isn't looking good for anything else today here, what time is tonight's lot supposed to arrive?

[mr benn]

Strange - sky had become much brighter, then suddenly its started to snow here ! Only light tho'.

[syed2878]

my self i'm not too sure regarding this evening and the depth of settleting snow here. After heavy snow all night we got crappy slush to show for it.

[Arctic Hare]

It's turned back from rain to sleet here; surprising. I'm still expecting mostly rain today, at least during daylight hours.
