It was when I looked outside at 6 am and was wet everywhere and drizzly 

[BarometerCat]

Looks like I’ve slept through anything falling. Some evidence of sleet or snow on next doors shed… see other areas have done well

[nobble]

Stopped now and already melting 

probably almost 4 cm on car roofs etc 

nice surprise but reckon be gone for lunch 

[bluearmy]

you can see the three current area on the dp’s 

anything falling from the sky is 

A wet (away from notable elevation)

b. Uncertain - elevation important 

c  white 

the lines obvs have a margin of error west/east and precip intensity can drag that freezing level down locally)

[mother nature rocks]

Very heavy now in Droitwich and starting to stick - never expected this

[BarometerCat]

[Puddy Galore]

What a beautiful start to the end of autumn and coming up to winter here by Villa Park I would guess about 2 3 cm of lying snow sorry these photos isn’t very good quality

[Ms Rock & Blues]

Snowing here near Tutbury, a couple of centimetres but it is wet snow. Still great to see.

[MidlandsWeatherWatcher]

 

Kingswinford, Dudley , West Midlands. 99m elevation apparently 

[Dancerwithwings]

At work in Redditch, duvet size flakes falling, feels very Christmassy

Anyone for a mince pie

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Still great event but dripping off trees already,

It’s headed south - will likely be white (at least in the sky) for a while as I expect some lower dp’s to be dragged in from the north  

looks a bit short lived in most places 

 

[BlueHedgehog074]

Snow losing it’s strength here now, but has been leaving a wet 1cm(ish) covering. Came down really nice and thick for a time earlier

[Midlands Ice Age]

Wow.... Woke up to dinner sized flakes for breakfast.!!!!

Temp 0.4C, Dew Point -2.4C with 82% Rel Humidity.

Looks to be about 2-3 cms.

MIA

[Midlander]

What a great start to the weekend.

More snow then I was expecting, I estimate 3cm maybe 4cm on tarmac surfaces at the peak. At least we know it will not be a snowless season!
