High cloud to my east running south east 

clear overhead here

[Sweatyman]

those showers in the NE are moving SW if you look. You never know 

[Sparkiee storm]

Yeah the showers are definitely drifting further West as they drift South, first pic from 8pm and by 10pm can see they have got further west inland.

 

[Guest]

Freezing drizzle here, 0.9c.

[nobble]

Clouding over

[Polar Maritime]

Someone I know saw some flakes falling for a few minutes close to Nuneaton.

The wait for snow continues for now!

[AmberRose]

Very light snow here

[moorlander]

Just a very light dusting of snow. 

[MattStoke]

Looks like we’ve had a thin dusting here.

[mother nature rocks]

Just had a quick look outside and defo a few flakes on top of the frozen cars. Nothing to write home about but snow nonetheless

Yes exactly the same here! Definitely a few flakes fallen, ground is spotted with like 1 white dot every 6 inches.... usually would be no evidence at all of what was obviously a 2-minute flurry but the first time I've seen any snow on the ground since April 2021

[mother nature rocks]

Just getting in van and 100% snow  Also, checked Mets previous 6hr radar and a bit of light ppn did come through  

Have a good day all

Nothing at all here last night, just another hard frost, frost over frost making it look kinda like snow in places.

[Midlands Ice Age]

Glad to see  that my alert for possible snow in the Midlands yesterday came to fruition.....

Seriously though, it seems to have decayed as predicted but left a few flakes over both the east and west midlands.

Haven't checked the charts yet for today, but more of these events could occur, 

Cloudy all night here with temps around -1,5C. As the cloud cleared just before daybreak it dropped to -2.5C, and has only slowly risen to -1.8C now. More misty than yesterday, but clear skies above,  reflect that there is more moisture in the air now, So one can be a bit more hopeful of snow showers,

All for now.

Very cold this morning.  So cold I couldn’t get my magnetic gate locks to work despite being protected overnight.  I am told me had a smattering of snow showers around 2.00am this morning.

Looks like showers beginning to head towards the Cheshire gap, but moving so slowly, it doesn't look as though they'll survive the trip this far.

Happy Fridays

Proper frosty out but some bright sun.  I get that there is a general mood of 'no snow..' but showers can still occur for the Mids.  Lot's of examples in the past, but also a lot of examples where we see nothing.  So, keeping an eye on short term developments only. 

 

EURO 4 Sunday

Someone help me out here too, Cheshire gap streamers don't tend to get picked up on models so keep an eye out there too.  Some pretty decent snow fall when that makes it this far in land.

Cheers!

I've noticed that they do tend to show on short-term models these days. Much less local knowledge required than used to be the case.

Met Office warnings suggest they will but I’m not convinced. Will just have to keep an eye on the radar.

Yeah, a bit of cloud coming over now, but I doubt there'll be more than a light flurry, which would still be very welcome!

[V for Very Cold]

Well Bedford had a dusting of snow grains overnight.... very crunchy!

And I notice MetO forecasting snow north and south of us..... keep those fingers crossed 

[Snowy L]

Going to be a frustrating week ahead imo.

[MattStoke]

Getting close.
