Snow here now light and wet in nature but it's actual snow. 

[Ian Ballinger]

Well the cold has certainly arrived here, but the rain has stopped

[Arctic Hare]

Sleet here in Bewdley now. It's pretty horrible out, to be honest, but in terms of seeing flakes in the mix this is already as good as the entirety of last "winter"!

[Polar Low]

Sleety mix here in Grantham, only just getting any kind of intensity. Expecting transition within an hour or two.

Blow it this way lol

Largely turned back to rain now, as it's got much lighter. Just the very occasional tiny flake mixed in with all the wetness. Hopefully those with a bit more altitude* will get be having more luck.

* A bit more, meaning 150-200m asl. I know those at 300m plus are already doing so, but that's a darn sight easier!

Looking at the radar i would guess another hour of snow before the system clears away south of the West Mids. Looks good for the south east later on.   Happy to see some snow flakes and it could get interesting tonight with the Cheshire Gap streamer.

Light snow, temp continues to fall.

Temp 0.9C

Rate: -2.2C/hr

Dew: 0.3C

Although i don't expect any accumulation this evening, it will be interesting to see what tonight overnight brings as temperatures are now a lot closer to where they would need to be for snow.

Confirm snowing small flakes in Birmingham city centre!
