Well, what an insane 10 minutes! We just had torrential rain, heaviest I've seen up here for years, which began turning to sleet (temp was 5.1^oC, dropped to 4.0^oC), and the rainwater running down the street became rivulets in the sleety bits. Was all over after 5 or so minutes, then we've just had huge wet snowflakes falling, temp is now 3.0^oC. Just spoke to my MIL in Shrewsbury and she said they were having heavy snow!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Heavy snow in Telford reported 10 minutes ago by my other half there!(I'm in Edinburgh, but haven't seen any snow in two years now, sob, sob - now even Telford is out-snowing us!)

[shaky]

MY word have have you seen how heavy the precipitation is west of Birmingham!!if that is all snow then some lucky places might get quite a bit of snow!!

[picog]

All hill tops around me are white — I'm at 100m, so I'd guess that the snow line is no higher than 200m.
