Pouring with huge flakes. A slush covering forming. Grass and roofs white over.

Sky lightening here, rain has eased off. Any sleet/snow didn't stick. Temp now 2.1^oC, dewpoint 1.4^oC. Visibility's improved dramatically, can make out snow on the Welsh mountains.

Heavy snow here for the past 10-15 minutes, surfaces were soaked but snow has had no problem sticking.

 

Already a covering on both roads and pavements.

bbc didnt predict it, still doesn't, GFS were going for back edge snow, but not on the last few runs

[snowangel32]

Light covering now, more snow predicted tonite also bring it on

[ChezWeather]

Big flakes falling here, way to wet for it to settle though. Anybody tell me if its settling up towards Matlock? 

[Dancerwithwings]

[weirpig]

easing now  dropped quite a bit of snow

[Adzyy]

Nothing here, just heavy rain. Will keep an eye out.

[hammy]

I suspect this is due to evap cooling in the heavier downpours?

 

could be wrong as i am still just a rookie...

[Bishop Brennan]

Yay, heavy snow in Solihull for the past ten minutes and counting!
