Temp of 3.9°C here, up from 3.2°C. Dew point of 2.4°C and wetbulb of 3.2°C - Not even conducive of sleet.

The A35 is the new M4

This is why we need Doppler radar access. It is 100% rain here.

[Chesil View]

Sleety mix falling here a few miles east of Dorchester

Are you sure? It’s definitely not rain here!! 

[kevvo]

If Met Office are right, it's not supposed to turn to sleet/snow until about 2300hrs, so maybe a chance later.

Shame that heavy bits going straight into the channel. 

[snowysouth]

I'm seeing rain in Poole. Maybe the odd flake chucked in but mostly rain tbh

[fromey]

One hell of a drop in dew points!

now down to 0c

[Andy Bown]

Whatever falls there are some serious downpours moving quickly across Devon and Somerset.

[Nights King]

Light snow just starting to fall here.

Met Office snow and ice warning is now covering a larger area, and I have been removed!

Yep. I was outside having a smoke, and shone the handheld sun up in to the sky. My weather data doesn't support anything wintry, and it's right.

It's snowing in Taunton, dewpoint here is positively tropical so not expecting to see anything.

Who's this Robomod chap? He's messaged me and told me I'm not an active member anymore, cheeky beggar!

[Nights King]

Light snow with a brief moderate burst but showers gone and looks dry for a while again.

Temperature much better though now 0.1c

[Ashme]

BOOOM! BIG THUNDER HERE BUT NO RAIN

[Ashme]

@dancing daisy did you hear it? Didn't see any lighting though

No I didn't but to be fair I'm watching tele, painting my nails, drinking tea and posting on here like the multi-tasking Queen that I am. 

I'm also in Bridgwater.

Fair doo’s, the lights don’t lie. Perhaps I need some stronger lenses  but I’ve seen rain, and that weren’t no rain here. Well towards the end it was, but that was when initensity died off

Like I said earlier ;-) So glad I didn't get excited about the inevitable non event ...

[Ashme]

Intense hail then snow and stopped! All in 3mins ??
