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.

Am I allowed to ask what an onionse is?

On second thoughts, don't bother.

It's snowing a little bit more but looks like a pathetic attempt, it's like it's trying but then can't be bothered by the time it happens.

[Staffordshire]

Starting to settle on cars here now, still very slushy

[Turnedoutniceagain]

Sideways snow here - loads of it !!

Completely stopped here now I think someone forgot the decimal point when they said 24 hours ha ha

[Derbyshire Snow]

SP Its always difficult to predict the amounts of snow but the potential for something exceptional exists. Certainly the next hour looks terrific and the way its panning out we could have periods of heavy snow all evening and night. A lot depends whether the system to our south west stalls and intensifies over this area. It is expected to do so and intensify.

I retract my last statement, it appears to be getting heavier. Maybe it's finally starting now.

Finally beginning to stick....not particularly heavy snow though or big flakes

[nobble]

snow really gathering together now , even slushy areas re-covering

[el tiempo]

Beginning to stick on cars, rooves & side roads here (in Stoke) where it had previously thawed. Notice that BBC on line have lessened the amount of heavy snow for here but prolonged the light snow tomorrow. Bigger flakes now.

[Bishop Brennan]

I'm loving the way the temperature has dropped so sharply in the past hour, from 2.7c, to 0.7c now.

With only ninety minutes or so of daylight left, we should soon be within touching distance of the magical freezing mark

I guess as always it'll be a case of nowcasting and hoping for the best. The scene outside now looks the same as at around 7am for snow cover, with it looking like no thaw had occurred at all.

Where's here?

[Adzyy]

At least it's actually snowing me, nothing to write home about mind.

[snow freak]

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

i did and from the look of it at lunchtime it seemed to be heading in the direction of northampton

[Andye]

heavy snow here now in stoke been so for round an hour

[Polar Maritime]

Snowmageddon here, G&T's out now..

[Adzyy]

Finally, it's looking heavier. Flakes are a little bigger and lots of them. And a LOT of wind, if this settles tonight, I'd imagine there'll be a fair few drifts around.

[PolarWarsaw]

Sleet still here, virtually all of last night's snow washed away bar roofs. No chance of anything sticking, know or after dark.

[Staffordshire]

Coming down thick and fast here, paths turning white and trees/bushes starting to droop

[carled]

Absolutely ZERO precipitation of any kind in Enderby, Leicestershire! Dry as a bone on the road outside.
