Yeah. Pouring with sleet here. Met Office have a warning for snow covering the Staffordshire Moorlands.

[weirpig]

Snowing in pelsall

Just got back from my allotted exercise, It's vile out there, a sleety cold rain and icy wind. Village common looking lovely but pathways starting to get very grotty.

[MattStoke]

Facebook friend has put up a video of snow falling in Weston Coyney, just 2 miles from me but about 60m higher. Looks like there’s a lot more snow left there from the weekend too.

Yes we have snow, but finding it hard to stick to pavements 

[Sleet30031972]

Today was so close to being another 'event' tbh. Snowing on the high ground around Belper.

Dry here but expecting rain soon. Next chance Sunday but looks an outside chance.

[Ryukai]

Sleeting here aswell, big noticeable flakes amongst the drizzle now too, pity this is the back end and will be going past shortly.  

 

EDIT: Plenty of Snow up on the Winking Man webcam

It's been snowing for just over an hour now but only a very thin covering of fresh snow. The temperature is 0.3c  and it's turned foggy in the last half hour. I don't think there'll be much out of this before a thaw sets in.

[stewfox]

The snow cover has held up quite well today about 90 per cent but very light rain now the writing is on the wall

[markw2680]

This is what I hate, sleet and wet snow turning to rain with a slushy mess left behind but feeling raw with very cold wet feet

id say buxton and flash and such could be getting a covering? above 300m id expect accumulations

[el tiempo]

Flash cam was looking pretty white as was the cat and fiddle 

[Summer of 95]

Murky and a bit of drizzle here, still feels cold but melting the snow much quicker than the sun did yesterday when it actually felt warmer.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Last snowy walk, thaw will be quick tonight

 

 

[Fozfoster]

Its cold wet and dark, reminds me of an old girl friend  .....

[Dancerwithwings]

Snow cover was still here, but only just as I took this just before it got dark.

hopefully fun and games come the weekend again

Probably, but this time last week, we were fairly convinced we would be too far north for last Sunday's event.

This winter has been quite unpredictable so far here in the West Midlands. The beauty of the Atlantic not being in total control of our weather!

[smethwickgg102]

We can but dream 

[nobble]

Snow cover has took a real bartering today

kids have built a snowman so he can stand guard of the remnants of patchy snow

Yep lovely while it lasted.  Hirlam 12z  as 80mm of rain falling over us  Wednesday into Thursday    quite a difference.
