Currently having a sleety hail shower could be Grauple mind.

just had a sleety shower here

[Gray-Wolf]

Soft hail here at present. The convection also seems to be becoming more vigorous and cloud heights are increasing.

[PersianPaladin]

Just had a fairly sharp wintry shower here. Mostly of moderate rain, but with some sharp bursts of hail and sleet thrown in as well.

Best shower of the day so far.

[Hairy Celt]

Heavy hail / rain shower now, temp dropped 4C in 20 minutes! Now raining. Hope for later perhaps?

[paul tall]

Had several heavy sleet showers through the day.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Just had a shower, started as mostly rain with the odd flake of snow then suddenly 100% snow, heavy with gusty winds <_< .

Stopped now but could be an interesting night ahead

[i luv snow]

sleet showers here, odd bits of snow in them, but mainly sleet <_<

[Stratos Ferric]

Two or three beefy showers in West Yorks this evening. Sleet here in Stratosdale, about 10% at best (20% of drops about 50% formed), though driving home from Bradersfax came through a spell of about 50% (100% of drops about 50% complete). Currently another heavy shower, though this one is <5%.

Have to say I surprised by the stready stream of showers coming across Yorkshire: there's undoubtedly a convergence zone here at present, just enough to maintain uplift and some heavy showers. I expect snow topped moors in the morning.

[disco-barry]

yeah heavy rain/hail/wet snow showers and im expecting more soon, MO predict sleet/snow here later in the week so!

[Nick F]

An 'orrid mix of sleet/hail and the odd wet snow flake falling in the last twenty mins or so. Temp: 2.5C, DP: 1.3C.

[i luv snow]

had a wet snow shower at temps of just under 2ºC, lasted for a little while

[Stratos Ferric]

It's now all but snowing here - and about time too. Wet, but undeniably nearly everything landing on the velux is a complete snowflake. About 90% of drops, and about 80-90% formed. Hell, it's nearly snowing, and in February too. Wooo
