I’ve got 4 to 5 cm here and it’s still coming down….for March it’s good

But my memories of March 2013 is and will always be the one for me, 22cm over two days….an amazing weekend I’ll never forget

Solihull done decent not deep but a very pleasant snow fall

[Dancerwithwings]

Looks like the last for me

[nobble]

Still thick lovely snow falling here

[MattStoke]

Arpege has gone further north.

A good shift South of the milder air on the 18Z Arpege for tomorrow afternoon (sorry, it was just too tempting )

Same and duvet size flakes….that’s the signal for when it’s finishing…but we’ve done well being we wasn’t expecting to see anything a day or so ago

[WinterWilf]

Looks north on the radar hopefully with the north east winds will push it down our way.

[Serendipity]

Snowing again here now, temps rising slightly now.

Edited to say it is actually building a bit round us again.

31cm! Willinglossop is going to be snowed in again I haven't seen him on here for ages. Does he not use the Midlands thread anymore?

[Sparkiee storm]

Coming down pretty good again, gotta be close to 5cm now .

[JR319]

Looks like that stuff to the north of the Midlands is now gaining some momentum? Is this expected to head southwards? 

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Really heavy here again now. 

[phil nw.]

Still snowing moderately now a decent covering.

Certainly a reasonable event considering the time of year.

Happy to see one snow day this season anyway.

Despite the likely chance of snow turning to rain for most of us during tomorrow (except maybe Northern Midlands, but definitely a nowcasting situation), it has been a fairly decent snow event. It doesn’t want to give up the ghost yet, as snow continues to fall. Colder, deeper, air could have ensured more settled but not bad going for March. I mean, it’s pretty when snow settles, but pretty just watching it fall too. Plus, as others been covering throughout the thread, the snow could come back to invade the Midlands early Friday. As such, even though snow could lose the battle tomorrow, it hasn’t yet lost the war.

The war isn’t over until mid may

after that I’d prefer and warmth

This is now at 10:52 pm 

Hasn’t stopped 

 

 

[Serendipity]

If you run the radar sequence it is actually building more on the southern edge now.

That’s true to be fair. So wouldn’t mind seeing it snow in May (but with lots of warm spells in between). Last time it snowed in May here was in the mid 90’s (if I recall correctly).
