Don't worry be happy, Spring is almost here. The time for those April showers, with thunderstorms and hail opportunities. Time also to get out of the clag and change the season, cant wait.

Snow in the south on Thursday, didn't look far enough down for the south coast though;

OK what did I miss, I saw 8C on Thursday and dry, did I miss something? We are back into south westerlies with the warmer air approaching end of the week.

Well, we hope!

Anything of note on Mendip Nights King/Jethro?

2.8c with continuing sleety rain here, it became plain old rain between 10.00-15.00 but has reverted since the temperature has dropped.

The amount of precipitation seems far more widespread and intense than forecast even this morning, oh if only it has been a few degrees colder!

I have light sleety wet snow mix but I seem to be losing the ppn as it drifts eastwards. Strange because BBc forecasts show it hanging around until 6am with some snow on hills of west country.

Always the way... once colder air turns up ppn has moved on. 

 

Temperature is 1.8c and falling slowly.

Don't forget, disruptive snow is coming next week!

Sleety rain on the Moor except here, just rain. But still expecting a wintery flavour over night. A definite lamp post watching except they turn them off now.

Sleety rain mix here now radar suggesting higher Moor is starting to get snow

Sarcasm. Didn't you see BBC weather's tweet?

[Dorsetbred]

Still raining here....

[slinky1989]

Radar says sleet at the moment here, a quick look out the window tells me it's definitely just rain.

[Dean E]

Same here, just rain even though it says sleet.

Was just driving down the A3 back from London, and at Hindhead and around Butser Hill (Nr Petersfield) you could see sleet hitting the windscreen. However, that's with a lot of elevation!

[Mapantz]

Replacement Netatmo anemometer is back, and paired! I haven't put it outside yet- prefer a sunny day to do it.

[karlos1983]

Hmmmmm

it sure isn't sleet out 

 

[stevofunnelcl]

4c outside, just getting down into sleet possibility terrority

lamposts are turned off until near dawn, too darn cold for lamp-post watching anyways

the duvet is more tempting

[festivalking]

Comical. The band of snow is but a mile north of here. And has been most the night, as it's running in a se direction. Oh well least the dog walk in a bit will be fun.

[hooch5]

white outside first snow of the winter for us, at last!
