On the plus side hard frost tonight too!!

And I'm really doubting the predicted maximums tomorrow, especially with snow fields. Not a chance of 4c tomorrow, more like 1c.

Yes.... -5 forecasted here. 

0-5c atm......I don’t expect to get above freezing at all today

[I remember Atlantic 252]

small flakes again now, but must be 6-7cms fallen! looks like heavier stuff moving NW of here now

[Gustywind]

Very light now, almost stopped, 7cms here so at top end of my original expectations, with potential for a bit more later perhaps.

[Shezale coventry]

Oh my its hammering it down again here!

[sawan]

First signs of pivoting, easterly wind has brought the snow back here in Coventry. It shall be an all day event!

Doesnt add up with the radar lol, Similar reports from everyone its like its being shown to be 10/20 miles further north east than it really is

[snowangel32]

Wheres Matt has it snowed there yet come on dude join the Snow party.

[WelfordRd]

Slowed down again in Hinckley maybe 2-3cms so far

[Ryukai]

Radar =/= cake right now  for Stoke on Trent.

[Rickent]

first few flakes now in Syston.

[Gord]

Looks like we’re done here, but a really good snowfall. We’re not going to be in the prime spot but when you think that some of the forecasts and models have shown us as missing out over the past few days, then we can be very very pleased with how it’s gone.

An excellent snow day!

Really coming down again now. It must of stalled now otherwise I’m sure this would of stopped

Yh its snowing here and all around Birmingham now. Radar shows it bone dry. The radars are having a nightmare its clearly stalled and pivoting now. No sign of it stopping at all here.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Pivot around Stone? still going well here, E'ly wind picking up, sure this now moving WNW

[markw2680]

That radar is talking bull it hasn’t stopped here all day but look at radar and it’s gone from here lol

It's not going to hold on much longer but we have the return trip to look forward too. Some models still have it snowing at 9pm in cov, might just scrap 10cm

[Snowy L]

No idea what is going on with radar and why it's getting it so wrong. Right in the middle of bright yellow yet what's actually falling is equivalent of dark blue. Not getting more than a dusting if this continues.

[Arctic Hare]

Just had a phone call from Sainsbury's -- no food delivery for me! Can't say I'm surprised; I wouldn't want to be driving a delivery van around this (hilly) town in this either. Will be raiding the food cupboard for a few days by the looks of it.

I have about 7 cm of lying snow here, most of which arrived with the main band, but it is still snowing lightly. As others have said, the radar isn't picking this up, but it is certainly still coming down. +0.7 °C right now.

The radar is definitely not to be trusted, today! The snow slowed down here for around 10 mins but has picked up again, despite the PPN apparently moving away and leaving us under very light stuff

[Gustywind]

Still going here, almost stopped but has picked back up again, bizarre as should be clear of here now based on the radar!

[stewfox]

A few inches 

[Arctic Hare]

And now it's picking up a bit here too! Really is a windowcast event at the moment, as the radar is completely useless for this snow!

wouldnt totally write it out off gord, still snowing in bewdley/stour/the surrounding area. Easily had a good 7cms fall here, been an excellent event, really has 

[Snowy L]

Finally getting a bit heavier now.
