Place your bets then, I’m going for 27mm in near my back yard. There’s a friendly weather station just down the road from me as my rain gauge is broked! So I’ll be watching his. ?

So it coming my back to life didn’t last long then?  :sorry:

Well I forgot to post but I didn't expect to see this on a local hill on Friday! (This is East Hill at about 240m asl, the long hill in the last pic)

2-3 inches on the grass/surfaces in open areas..  A few miles from there at about 160m there was almost nothing, though 0.5 miles from home at 100m there was about 1cm on the grass etc. It turned to sleety wet snow at home for a while (25m).

As for today, light rain arrived by 4pm, and has turned persistently moderate-heavy. Already at 6.8mm, it will be interesting to see how much we get and the rivers will be high in the morning.. after this I'm ready for something warmer and drier though.

196mm in March.. can see how wet the field is in that picture.

Great photos Thunder! :clap:

Evening all, just dropping by to report we currently have heavy snow falling here. We've had steady rain for the last few hours so everything is sopping wet, doubt anything will settle.

Wales (excluding Cardiff - and Pembrokeshire) is defined in outline on radar, by sleet, and snow over the higher ground.

2.1c and heavy rain. The 2 beasts aside we seem to have had countless cold rain events since early December!

Thank goodness it was fine for 90% of the day! Lovely walk to the park and round the lake then outdoor play for our boy at grandparents house.

And it the good stuff, continual heavier burst followed by lighter to be chased by heavier bursts. You know... the good soaking stuff..

2.5c here. Dropping too! Might turn to sleet for a while before turning back to rain at this rate. If you know Lansdown Hill, I bet it will be snowing up there. The hills are actually foggy from my window so maybe some snow happening up there now!

Temperature has plummeted in last hour now down to 0.2c :shok:

Think it will turn to rain by mid night though.

Watched local bbc forecast out of curiosity since it started to snow and no mention of even sleet :rofl:
