This doesn't look good... could be a lot of rain for the region over the coming days (or snow for the lucky ones).

@Lisa Martin Thanks for the updates, looks to be much settled and deeper than the last video you sent, hope supplys are in!

It really pepped up after the first video to huge flakes going quiet now though

I didn’t manage to get out Friday and go looking (it was misty here unfortunately) but did catch it very briefly last weekend when I was up in Bradford

Nice amount of snow falling here in Loughborough, had a little walk into town and people are coming out of the club and having a big snowball fight

Dead on 0.0c now. Settled snow white over. If i can stay awake 5 more hours (after being up from 4am Saturday) Wil be brilliat photograpy at dawn.

Ahh Brilliant well done, note the vertical light pillars too, rare, very rare.

Thankyou I was chuffed even with a glimpse. Planning a trip to Lapland for next winter so hoping for proper lights once there

All eyes on sunday night/monday now, if we can get that low to drop just slightly south so we dont pick up those southerly winds (as the euro shows) i think the whole region will have a decent snow event

 

[Polar Low]

Good covering here in Newark in the last hour, Looks likely to continue for another couple, too

 

Probably end up with 5cm or so I imagine. All surfaces including the main town roads are covered, so much for the gritters!

Wow, you will see them there, just keep a eye on the solar cycle - as you know the live camers are there. In time ill try send you a few links than might be helpfull, as an amateur astronomer / weather watcher, my old saying is to look up not down, how many do that these days?

Most of the region*

Gritters, good point not seen one at all, my ring cam triggers vehicles on the lane, and the Ice warning is now valid after the snow.

 hope you guys down there get something as well  just depends on where this system positions itself, if it shifts slightly south again you'll be in luck!

would also watch the backside of the low as it drags down colder air behind it, the euro has all of warwickshire with atleast 2cm by monday night

Must only be focusing on the likes of Lincoln Road, London Road, Bypass etc then. And even that is largely covered now I'm told.

I'm not really moaning. Will be issues for rush hour though, right in the town centre (Church) the roads are under a reasonable, full blanket; so the residential streets and back roads a little further out the town centre will be worse affected.

0z gfs highlights how that lows position will be critical to which places see snow

Had a couple of cm in the end, better than I was hoping for. It still feels very cold, hard to believe rain is forcast in a couple of hours. My kids want to go out in it now while it's still dark!

[nobble]

Well done to all that got snow

looking out it seems we had 2-3cm but is now melting rapidly

 

gone very misty too 

 

hope this is just the start of a long snowy winter

[WelfordRd]

Woke up on Hinckley and all I can say is that it was a epic fail here last night compared to others. Not surprised though.

[AltonMatthew]

A beautiful winter winderland here this morning with 11cm of snow lying! An amazing result here in Alton - Staffordshire Moorlands. Forecast rain from 11am so out to enjoy it as much as possible!
