I'm not optimistic now, it keeps going down then stopping for ages.  

[Mark Parsons]

I can confirm heavy snow on Beaminster Downs Dorset.

[Wiltshire_snow_lover]

Sleet here

2 hours ago.

[Dorsetbred]

Bouncing along at the bottom around 1.8C / 1.9C, that's about it as the wind is now in more from the SE, i.e. from the Channel, so unlikely to drop any lower now.

[matt111]

Still dropping here at an extremely slow rate but it's down to 2.5°C with a DP of 1.6°C. 

[Leon1]

Temperature still not dropped since I last said.  

[matt111]

Sudden drop from 2.5°C to 2.3°C in the space of a few minutes , it took over an hour to get from 2.7°C to 2.5°C

Chase me, Chase me...Temp: 1.6 °C, Dew Point: 0.6 °C

[ThundersnowDays]

sleet here

[jethro]

According to the closest reporting Wunderground station (a mile away but same height and topography) it's currently 1c here, dew point -1.4c. Nowt falling from the sky though.

[Leon1]

Maybe my weather station is reading wrong, I've been outside and it's ruddy cold. Sleeting gently too.

[CheesepuffScott]

Nice curve

[Leon1]

Temp just dropped by 0.3 degrees in the space of 10 seconds!

Edit: Make that 0.4

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. Temperature has finally started to drop and it's now below 3 degrees!

[karlos1983]

Just goes to show really that easterly is always the way forward for us daan saaf! Last “winter proper” slider central didn’t deliver a snowflake on @Mapantz weather station, never mind the floor away from decent elevation and well inland! But currently we’ve got at best an average easterly, in mid November and its soooo close to delivering proper, uppers just not quite cold enough!

[A.J]

getting interesting here.....2C with a dew point of 1C, ppn approaching from the east........ 150 meters a/s/l

[matt111]

Like @Mapantz I've got a snowflake here too.

Meanwhile outside it's dropped to 1.8°C with a DP of 0.9°C. 

[Thundery wintry showers]

It got pretty close in Exeter but not quite close enough - there was a period of light rain with a temperature of 3C.

[Ben Sainsbury]

Now at Reading Uni it's difficult to know what regional chat I should be in. Nevertheless it is beginning to precipitate with a moderate intensity here, being on top floor of a halls of residence makes it difficult to see but looks to be a tad sleety.
