It's been moderately snowing in Sale for the last 15 minutes and starting to cover cars and grass. For 5 minutes its was big flakes, now more smaller flakes and a little sleety.

Heavy snow here, only a dusting when I left home I would expect there to be a bit more now.

[Weather-history]

Wintry shower of graupel and snow passing through.

A real strange winter season. wintry precipitation falling what looks like not particular special 850hpas: mid November, late January, early February and now late February. Yet the easterly with lower 850hpas, it rained. shows the complexity involved in snowfalls but this season it has been really odd.

 

[Day 10]

Heavy rain here, not seen rain like it since yesterday! So lucky living here on the coast!
