Big 50p snowflakes here in west Cambs. Shame it's not two months' earlier.

Just drove through barcombe East Sussex and it was hail and snow , temp dropped 3 degrees in an hour from 8.5 to 5.5 .Back home and the sun is out and temp on the climb again 

[alexisj9]

Squall just went through here, started as rain then sleet then snow, then wet sleety type snow, thought it wouldn't pass the sleet stage here. Looks good for later.

just had a pretty decent squall here in Dover, one moment it was calm and the next blowing a gale with torrential rain almost horizontal, it turned to sleet since with a few moments of snow which has settled around the frames of the windows.

overcast here. think i heard thunder just now

 

wow no sooner did i post that than it got very dark and hailstones arrived and now we have light snow which very dry today so is on the cars settling lightly and it is thundering. do i have thunder-snow?

started snowing

[crazysnowcatz4]

Radar shows rain turning to snow on the trailing edge . The sleet >> rain boundary is slowly moving east as temperatures slowly drop away.  Showers currently over Birmingham could be heading our way for around 4.00 PM ish . Despite the weather warning the BBC forecast hasn't got much instore for here with the GFS only showing a limited possibility for some snow / sleet.. I suppose it depends where the low is centred and how quickly it pivots. However surely on Saturday afternoon until  Sunday 3.00 am there must be a fair chance of some kind of streamer which could bring localised snow. Looks to be favouring northerly coast this time..

[throwoff]

first red bit on the snow risk GFS I have seen all winter for Friday. 

 

Looking forward to the 12z

[JennyJane1]

Impressive large hailstone blizzard, everything outside is white and very loud rumbling thunder.

[whitespike]

Proper wintry mix here in Bexhill Hail , snow rain allsorts
