[davehsug]

Why was John Hammond presenting the lunchtime regional BBC weather today? In the Birmingham studio, not video. Very unusual.

What is more odd is that he left the BBC a few weeks ago. Maybe this was his last swansong as they were desperate.

Ah, perhaps he was freelancing then?

A sunny morning here so far with only patchy cloud.

[Terminal Moraine]

Looking forward to the forthcoming cold snap.

Let's see how it compares to a similar one last April when I recorded 4 consecutive air frosts from the 26th-29th and 3cm of lying snow early on the 29th.

Crumbs! Looks as though there's an ice age coming up!

 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Another clear evening, looking up where the flights are going, depending on engine, and conditions, planes generally leave no contrail under 31000 feet

pants weather from tomorrow!

[Polar Maritime]

The cold front is just pushing through now with some moderate showers.

Temp 7.4c

Sky is clear, but the radar shows incoming snow. 

When will I stop falling for this electronic tease...?!

We had some heavy snow here. Left a slight covering on roofs and cars. Any precipitation that comes your way tonight should be all snow!

[Polar Maritime]

A dusting here this morning, Clear sky's with temp currently 0c

[RobR]

A good dusting this morning across the area as far south as Cannock.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Dusting here! but always more likely to get snow now, than the warm 3 month Dec-Feb, as they are dominated by the Atlantic

[fizz511]

Nada. Zilch. Not even a flake or two overnight.

As per usual....

 

[Terminal Moraine]

The minimum of -2,3c last night was the lowest on record ( since 1977) here in the last week of April. It was also the first air frost since February 28th.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Just had soft hail/wet pellet-like snow shower here! 

[Derbyshire_snow]

Looks like there is a snow shower heading my way from the north over Sheffield way.

[weirpig]

Quite a heavy snow show here. Nice to see 

[johnholmes]

some wonderful cloudscapes now out to my east and NE, large Cb9 and type 3 along with towering Cu, less convective over and west of me at the moment

[Polar Maritime]

Heavy snow showers here just now with blustery Northerly wind.

Temp 3.5c
