Sleet here again. Only in the heavier bursts mind, it's mostly rain.

 

This winter really is a stinker; every hint of wintriness has been down to evaporative cooling, it can't seem to manage without that even on the very few occasions the temp is low enough (ie yesterday). And it's always been the same few places that hog any settling snow, the same damn places that get it every time ie high ground in the north and Wales (plus Wrexham yesterday for some reason).

Yep really wet snow here, but snow none the less..... decent snow being reported just out of town (as you would expect) Minsterley has a decent covering apparently. That's what happens when you live in a town I guess, just that degree or 2 makes all the difference?

 

Either way none of this can be helping the flooding... lots of surface flooding in the town today added to the problems caused by the Severn. If the rain is as bad as predicted could be higher still than the 4.30 peak last night later this week. 

 

Also fair play to the EA, they might have balled up elsewhere but protected Shrewsbury really well with the myriad of schemes yesterday. I think Shrewsbury is the case study as to what they can achieve if they get a shed load of money!!

It's coming down quite hard now, will really struggle to give any lasting cover with that ground so wet though.... Yesterday rain at 0C, today snow at 2-3C, bizarre weather.

Its all down to dewpoints!!

Tomorrows storm will take a more northern track according to the Met Office. The most severe winds look to be to the North west of the region.

After hammering down with rain, overtopping the ditches, and flooding the lane which is now river-like, it's decided to try and snow!

Doesn't seem'to be sticking in town on the webcams, but got nearl 1cm here and trying to cover the path, off out towards Telford shortly so will see what's going on there.

Its sticking in Abbey Forgate, the roofs of the buildings around me have a covering, and cars, and grass. Not the roads though.

Evaporative cooling due to heavier precipitation plus undercutting of cold air I guess, can see it falling and settling on the webcams:
