The 18z initialised about 70 miles west of the real location of the low too, would bring the east Midlands back into play for later in the night if it continues to be that wrong

Yup seen that 15 mins ago!!you would think it has fresh data fed into it but dont look like it!!i mean the forecast of that low LOOKS way out!!

Looked at the lamppost and it's Snowinnn. Good signs for later.

[Eskimo]

Sleet here...but mostly rain. Pretty rubbish.

[snowstorm27x]

Coming down quite heavy aswell. That low seems to have more PPN than forecast. If the temps play ball the mids could well get a few centimetres.

I'm in Leicester can see ice within the rain on the windowscreen so perhaps a chance itl turn later on.

Should turn for you soon.

[snowstorm27x]

Sticking to the grass. Feel we will need a blizzard for it to stick to the pavements and roads wich are soaked. Nice to see even before Winter has even started.

[MattStoke]

Snowing in South Birmingham.

How are places lower down getting snow and I’m stuck with rain? Even areas further east in the milder air

[Wingman Blue]

Snowing again here now.  Big flakes, squally. Could do with the wind dropping.

[MattStoke]

Now starting to turn to sleet/wet snow. Can see it on the bins.

[sheikhy]

Yup sleet here in leicester!!

[Ali1977]

[Delka]

wet snow/sleety mix here but some decent flakes for sure! if only it was slightly colder and could settle 

[Sparkiee storm]

Sleet here atm with gusty winds, heard a piece of slate fall from the roof.

Heavy snow and settling at the winking man.

Just turned back to sleet here Matt. Seems evaporative cooling in heavy PPN is why it's so hit and miss at present

[MattStoke]

2 miles from me. If I don’t see a decent fall, a morning walk might be in order.

What is the elevation difference between your location and there?

[BarometerCat]

Taking dog for a walk in Hinckley, wind and rain for now, but cold

About 50m. They often see more snow than I do. Fortunately, they have a lovely country park (Park Hall Country Park) which is great for a winter walk.

Temperature 1.2C here now, right on the cusp. Oscillating between snow and sleet.

Still, it is November! Reminds me of a November school day in 1971 or so.

back to sleet, got lucky for fifteen minutes i guess. slushy surfaces 

[BhamBoy]

Think this is going to miss Brum in terms of snowfall  

[Snowy L]

Well the low pressure might be East of the models, but the rain isn't. Looks like the band is heading to Northwest England and Wales, needs to start tilting SE.

 

[Summer of 95]

Very windy but no snow and only light rain here. Despite what the radar says all the heavy stuff seems to be miles away but the wind is stronger than forecast

[Staffmoorlands]

Very stormy, sleet and snow but nothing sticking at the moment
