Well west midlanders, im glad most of us have seen some decent falling snow. Long may it last and for those of you to not see any yet, hope this afternoon brings some opportunities!

[phil nw.]

Morning, yes another snow day for many of us.I wonder how effective any mild incursion will be later.

Probably the most snow I've seen since 2018 now. 

[Polar Maritime]

Morning Phil, yes an interesting day indeed, the Amber Warning here isn't even in effect till 3pm onwards. Snow heavy all the way currently atm, bunkerd down making the Milk last..

[davehsug]

Still too light to make any impression, melting as it settles. Looks like the rain shadow effect of the peaks taking over, as so often in the past.

[Sparkiee storm]

Yeah clearly most snow since 2018 easily now.

[kmanmx]

About 5cm here, snowing steadily. Really hoping it remains as snow all day but forecast predicts it turning to rain this afternoon, which will sure make it a mess outside.

Already turning to sleet/rain here in Evesham - and forcast to hit 14-15c on Sunday so I can't see it lasting in these parts!   May get another dusting tomorrow moring first though.

cold winnng out ?? 

[blizzardinthehills92]

Hate to say it.... But looking a bit more sleety now

A good 15cm or more in Church Stretton this morning.  I went out about 9pm last night to fetch my daughter from a remote workplace and there was a reasonable accumulation then, and its been snowing again since about 6am.  I was overseas during the 2018 snowfall so this is the most I've seen since December 2017.

[Sparkiee storm]

There is a strange pattern ive just realized, we seem to get significant cold and snow in March every 5 years. 2013, 2018 and now this year.

[Row w]

Please please don't let it turn to rain 

[Barbmac]

Ack turning to rain here! Just very light, but still. Temp currently -0.2'C

[Eskimo]

50p flakes here which means the atmosphere is warming. That's fine. Most of the precip is moving awsy now. 1C max so should keep things from melting too quick.

[Shezale coventry]

Still snowing in coventry nearly hitting the magical 10cms in my back garden best snow event since 2017 when we had 12cms!!

[Summer of 95]

Pepped up in last hour, just been out with the ruler as its 9am and we have 7cm level! March to the rescue....

[andy_leics22]

Woke up this morning to about 5cm added overnight and chucking it down with Snow again! I'm expecting it to turn to rain later this afternoon, but it's been a good event, this.

[Puddy Galore]

@Methuselah we had a smattering of the wonderful white stuff after all.  

Have to keep brushing it off my cat enclosure fence

@weirpig you were correct!

Might have to take a drive down that way, not settling in Loughborough at all it’s just wet
