Biggest flakes I've ever seen ......reminds me of a foam party lol

Nick

LOL

[FENDER.]

Heavy stuff here in Wednesbury. Not really sticking yet, but with temp of 1.3c and dew point of -0.6 It shouldn't be long before it does

[MKN]

Completely dry here still

[Wadey]

Almost stopped here now but hopefully 24 hours left too come

[tom_f123]

5 minute period then, probably the biggest flakes ive ever seen, monstrous. Starting to stick on roads, coming down thick and fast.

[richbiss]

Like a bomb has gone off in a cotton wool factory here! Amazing scenes!

[Summer of 95]

Precip moving SW-NE, surface wind easterly = low too far NE, and not dragging in the colder air/lower dewpoints

[wednesburybaz]

where abouts in wednesbury do you live?

as said previous hugh flakes very wet snow

im supposed to be travelling by train to hartlepool tomorrow to watch footy!!

[Nievehombre]

we've still got horrible rain here in Hereford, not sure it will go to snow really.

Feel very envious of you all describing those amazing scenes...

[Arnie Pie]

Almost blizzard conditions with large flakes ..... strong gusty winds, not sticking yet

[Ian Ballinger]

Snow virtually stopped here now.....had massive flakes but refused to settle

[richbiss]

If this continues all night there is no way I am getting to work 8 miles away at 7am in the morning!

This is the heaviest snow with the biggest flakes I have ever seen!

[Wadey]

And now back to sleet mental

[Adzyy]

Still nothing other than a brief light light light shower. Grrr.

[Chess01]

Just little snow flakes going 100mph here

[nobble]

the flakes certainly gone big the last 5 mins , helping to stick to all surfaces could be good later on

previously cleared surfaces now recovering !

[Nimbus Nix]

I have never seen such huge flakes, forget 50p size these were at least 2 inches in diameter! Amazing stuff, slightly eased off now though.

[klippieboo]

It is stopping ! And there is a hole in the radar developing. Telford snow shield gonna win out or will all that in the irish sea shift down?

[MKN]

Could do with the precip filling out a bit the band your experiencing now is about 20miles wide

[Wadey]

It's gone from pillows falling from the sky to little flakes to sleet to rain now back to little flakes lol need darkness to come now !

[smethwickgg102]

Heavy snow in West Brom, settling on wet ground, amazing to watch!

[Ian Ballinger]

Can't look at radar at the moment......has it started shifting down yet?

[Polar Maritime]

Just got back from my swim earlyer, was a little choppy to say the least... Doesn't look like I'll be going far for a while yet, lane is nearly blocked.
