Just finished work and sleet here in Telford, in fact more rain even at this elevation unfortunately.

Disappointingly seems never had anything else overnight in the end though flurries started up again now.

Dodging us to the east right now, next one may be to far west ?? hmm come on give us a direct hit

Height definitely playing a part here, 160-180 meters above sea level in this part of Telford, on route to work this morning was snowing at top of the road and then pure rain 5 mins later by town centre (around 100 meters lower).

Still coming down dusting now

Heavy snow now yay about to clear but hopefully more to come now winds ideal.

Light snow here main shower dodging us to the east!

Oh looks like I was wrong about wind direction after all, this batch looks set to pass east of here now weirdly!

Sods law really winds looked ideal direction all week then at the last minute change to a NNW. If we don't get anything tonight i'll just return in Spring as you know GFS will be the correct solution for next week. NMM a bit more hopeful at least for tonight!

Woke up to light wet snow here, clearing now 1.5c

Unfortunately just rain here tonight, no sleetiness, fingers crossed tomorrow night - ideal wind direction and upper's for once! but will the showers appear..?

Ooooh at it again, torrential sleet and hail now, absolutely hammering it down! back up at 3.4c though

Edit: Stopped here completely 5 mins after turned to sleet after 4 hours of driving rain, sods law aha!

Absolute washout here since 4:30pm and it's now turned to sleet and down to 2.7c First 'wintry' precipitation of the winter here.

Yikes lord have mercy gave up chart viewing and posting for 2 weeks, viewed once last week finally and saw the most incredible easterly and winter on the way which I instantly knew would fall apart, didn't bother viewing charts again till today and shock horror as usual it's stuck over the north sea god forsaken washout muck again. Only difference now is changed from 12-15c washouts to 7-9c washouts, great. I'll try again in another 2 weeks.

Looking at the 12z it's safe to say 2015 was the worst year in living memory weather wise here and I won't be posting till January as 15c drizzly muck does nothing for me. To sum it up: All spring and summer warmth/sunshine confined to working weekdays with washout cool weekend's, attempted snow events in January/February washed away 2 hours later by mild upper's and rain, dullest November on record, those southerly tracking lows at the end of July. Only redeeming features were the thunderstorm on 22nd August which was fantastic (first proper overhead storm since 2008) and the glorious late Indian Summer warmth at the end of September. Other than that good riddance and i'll be back in the New Year, hopefully 2016 will bring the return to real seasons/excitement last y ear Jan-Jul 2013.

If only it was 20c and sunny when Spring arrived, this default of teen's celcius murk seems to take over every season now, exhausting.

Up to 12.9c here, fohn effect, beasting it down.

Don't even need to elaborate on today's weather, know the drill by now, oh to have even winters like 2013 back, didn't seem that special at the time but after 18 months of howling 40mph winds and 11c any change would do nicely.

Hilarious after a fairly decent week (compared to recently anyway) yet again we get to suffer a sunless misery fest of a weekend *sigh*

Unfortunately the blandest, mildest most sunless run aka the ECM is always the one that happens these days. Immune to any other weather here since August 2013!

What a shock next weekend AGAIN looking atrocious already, what a mess.

What a fool I was thinking we were finally onto a decent Sunday here, nooope, slate grey skies and unforecast showers.

The first non awful day in a while today, still mostly cloudy BUT the sun did indeed briefly come out this afternoon and finally not that endless damp, pleasantly mild to 13.8c max.

You have got to be kidding me, another sunless weekend of endless rain on the way, wow weekend's this year... Can see the routine already, rain all day Saturday, clears south Saturday Night then slams back in Sunday, thankgod for Vitamin D lamps.
