Wet snow mixed in with sleet, out of nowhere ! wow - the transitioning is happening faster than expected for sure, I wasn't down for sleet til midnight and snow after 1am. I think the cold is sinking SE faster than expected!

[weirpig]

Hello. Heavy snow till around 5am. Deluge part 2 ? 

[mattyrayandkay]

Quite heavy snow here settling on cars  and grass. A nice gift for christmas.

[Staffordshire]

[SilverWolf]

Send the cold down to Stroud in Glos...  chucking it down with rain here for hours and it’s all about to pivot round! Enjoy

If you ask the Met Office, 1 or 2cm above 100 meters. If you ask some of the models like Hirlam, ICON, Arpege, NMM, ECM... 10 to 20cm.

So literally, somewhere between 1 and 20cm

Rain at 200m?

Thats really baffling!

Should turn soon with a bit of luck

[kmanmx]

Sleety rainy snow here. But definitely more *snowy* than it was 15 minutes ago. Might be close to 100% slow by 10pm. Ding ding !

Met Office's performance over this has been abysmal. People caught out unaware. Gritters sent out too early while raining
