Hi, I overslept

 My radar has it as snow/sleet likely rain near coast. 

A juicy blob I'll be back on later..

[Dami]

I don't know what I had, but the ground was damp and the wind is

[Blessed Weather]

Good example in the latest radar of how the heavier precipitation (over EA) can pull down the temps sufficient to turn the rain/sleet to some back-edge snow.

Sleet has started here in south Suffolk. Getting a bit late now tho as the temp is on the up - was 2.4C earlier, now 3.3C.

Had few very light wet snow/ sleety showers. only twice this winter it's happened.  Getting excited about a shower of rubbish now

Wet snow showers for the last 45 minutes or so here, some heavier promising bursts, just a shame it started off more 'rain' and the ground become wet'. Also guessing ground not chilled enough to actually settle. I'm guessing this will be about as good as it gets, but a nice surprise and will certainly have the other 4/5 year olds in my son's class exicted this morning!

I think there is a lot of chopping and changing to come but we are entering into the slightly reliable time frame now.. 

So cross model agreement on a storm.. When and where is up for debate...

Oh please no more wind, it's destroying bubs wendy house. I don't know how you can get excited by wind. It's windy 300 odd days of the year here.

For storm enthusiats like myself, if you could have a storm like the above, with no damage that would be ideal! But you can't, I love all types of weather.. But the one thing I hate is like today quiet, cloudy, cold BORING

I thought everybody was out playing in the snow I was forecast 

Bring on the Spring and Summer where we can all moan about not getting any Lightening

Some did see snow! unfortunately much of it fragmented to NW and arrived later than modelled.

I shall say now that Bedford is the worst place for thunder, so one moan fits all.

That's something I will never moan about, hate the stuff.

[Dami]

As soon as I saw the pink on the radar i was off to the window, but i think if there had been any snow i'd missed it, as what was hitting the window didn't look snowy. Gone from  very chilly this morning to still chilly, but i dare say when i found the sun there was a bit of warmth there.

Snow in MK was at around 6:30 am and over in a matter of minutes, was nice to see though.

[Jo S]

My daughter text me earlier saying tiny flakes of snow, i didnt see it, but the country roads where i am have been gritted tonight. very cold here in the sticks, not much wind, ,not much at all really rather boring

Looks like the very nasty storm modelled on the 0z GFS has disappeared, thankfully! Not the first time this has happened this winter. 

Edit: Oops, 18z has brought it back again, not quite so bad for us with N France, Germany, Benelux getting hit worse.

Something to keep an eye on.

Bedford gets on average more days of thunder than 80-90% of the country.
