Coming down handsomely in KingsHeath, B’ham. 

Wonder if the MetO would dispute these reports

I am envious of all the snow my old home area of Sourh Warwickshire has had, not a flake here! However,  spent the day in the area yesterday & enjoyed the picture perfect scenes. Pleased for you all, our turn next.

Bitter sweet knowing it will turn to rain, but fingers crossed we can get that high pressure over Europe to bugger off and see a Christmas snowfall for us all in the UK!

[MidlandsWeatherWatcher]

Light snow started at 9:20 which started to stick slightly. Became more fine and has since stopped completely. In Kingswinford. 

[CoventryWeather]

Some light flurries now and again here. Not expecting much but wouldn't mind an hour or so of snow. 

[Sweatyman]

Snowing and sticking in Bournville 

[Ms Rock & Blues]

Been a good frost here & dull / overcast so am hoping for a flurry at least.

After nearly 2 weeks of frozen ground and bits of dusting here and there it’s time to say goodbye!!

Don’t be a stranger see you again soon I hope 

[BarometerCat]

very fine precip here now.. graupel like.   its something though, right? 

[matty40s]

Right under the dark pink bit and its...raining

[The PIT]

Well radar says it snowing here but not a flake. Running the peak district camera's reveal that radar is giving false readings. There's the odd visible flake on Winking Mans camera and drivers driver at stupid speeds. Reports from Buxton weather say not a lot is happening but loads of black ice around on the roads.

[Serendipity]

raining here near Stratford.
