Cant view link wont allow me to..

Its losing intensity as it progresses north, so areas immediately next to brum are getting pasted, the rest of Staffs are getting rain, sleet and a thaw. Bit of a joke really.

[Convection currents]

Been snowing for quite a while now, but still just small flakes

[Bishop Brennan]

Crazy, unbelievable snowfall for the past 25 minutes, pretty much a full blown blizzard now. Just starting to stick as well.

Temp is 0.8c, DP is -0.4c

North Staffs are getting snow, albeit fairly wet stuff.

[Adzyy]

All we're getting is a few flakes every 5 minutes. Meh. You lucky sods with heavy snow!

Yep, but nothing is sticking because things are too marginal/not heavy enough. 2 friends I've spoken to in neighbouring towns are all reporting the same weather and a drip drop, puddle thaw! Going to be some turnaround for accumulating snow later.

Not really, it's going exactly as planned right now.

Gonna be hard to watch the England game tonight, will prob miss most of it as i gaze at the lamp post, best we dont go on about lamp post watching as the bloody torries will stick a tax on it.... Cameron will call it the lamp post tax and the cost will go up in the winter..

[Potent Gust]

The heaviest snow of the two days falling now

Not sticking though.

[Ian Ballinger]

That's the same here despite the snow it's still thawing

[Derbyshire Snow]

Heavy snow again now, and lots to come shortly. Temp dropped to 0.3c and dew point -0.7. We really are in a good place just now.

[Nigel Langton]

Heavy snow in se Birmingham. But it did this most of last night with only an inch in the morning . how we get more in the next 36hrs and actually settling on the ground

[Static Prevails]

How much do you think we'll get in total? I'm hopeful for around 20cm.

[weatherguy]

So it begins.

Persistent light snow now falling with heavier bursts every now and then, with strong gusts. Looking forward to this!

He's doing a damn sight more than the Labour onionse that was in before him for the working classes.

Anyway, back on topic... light snow falling here now.

Guys, there is one vital ingredient missing from this thread... PICTURES!!!

[snow freak]

well decided not to risk it and left work early after hearing the reports of the early snow on here at lunchtime. Get back home to Northampton and guess what....nothing. not even a flake. it wouldn't surprise me if this 'event' turns out to be nothing over here after all. what a waste.

[Mair Snaw]

WOW just looked out the window and OMG ITS BELTING IT DOWN... never seen it like this before. PM good video by the way where did you take it??

[torzbc]

Heavy, big fat, funky flakes on the Western outskirts of Derby now...

Why didn't you check the radar or weather app ? There was never supposed to be any snow in Northampton at this time.
