Just starting to rain here. Nothing wintry about it at all.

[Harsh Climate]

I'm at 265m in west yorkshire, heavy snow but with 0 settling. No chance below 300m.

[MattStoke]

Could be snow if the precipitation was heavier, but it keeps weakening as it approaches the Midlands. Welsh mountains killing it off!

[nobble]

Rain here 

good to see daylight snow showers earlier

[MattStoke]

With things staying on the cold side next week, we could see some further sleet/snow showers.

[Weather Enthusiast91]

It snowed lightly earlier on this afternoon for around half an hour, along with a hailstorm. But that snow didn't settle. Whilst I am disappointed, I was however expecting this outcome and at least it isn't peeing down with rain for a change.

yes, as it's early March it is possible, even with max temps of 8 degrees

Oh no. Please don't tease us like this AGAIN. Can't take another let down

The Euro4 brings a line of snow showers across Stoke during the early hours of tomorrow. Could be interesting.

Typical! Another downgrade within the 24 hour mark. Story of this winter

Feels cold today again had heavy sleet shower at 12 pm

[nobble]

Just had a hail and snow shower

[Midlander]

So another “Winter” has ended. Here’s a quick summary of my observations regarding frost and snowfall:

Winter 2019/20 has been the ‘worst’ Winter since 2013, with below-average frost and snow

I recorded 4 days of snowfall

                 1 day of settling snow

                12 days of frost

This Winter makes me appreciate just how good Winter 2017/18 was, even if there was no BFTE I recorded regular periods of snow.  From Dec 17 to February 18 I never went more than 15 days without recording any snowfall. I hope that next Winter will be better!

Just at the tail end of a heavy snow shower which has whitened the ground temporarily.

[landslave]

Just started to sleet with some small flakes of snow... Ashbourne 

[MattStoke]

Sleeting in Stoke.

[Arctic Hare]

Thought I'd make an actual weather post! Not a very interesting day here, however. Mostly cloudy with some rain of the "annoying rather than flooding" variety. Chilly without being interestingly so: max 7.5 °C; now 3.7 °C. The river is well down, at least -- the bridge in town is finally open to cars again, and even most low-lying farmland should be above water by the end of tomorrow. Mind you, it'll be a mess -- many of the fields already re-emerging are muddy expanses with no grass at all. That will grow back, but it'll take time.

In my humble opinion it’s felt cold and raw today .

a real nip in the air

but luckily in a way, not that cold, or we'd have missed out on an absolute snowfest

[Neil Harris]

That sun was gorgeous this afternoon, and quite warm. Spotted a few people in the beer garden....

[Zak M]

Gainsborough has got 17c on the cards on Tuesday.

Quite warm for the time of year.

[SDM.13]

Up at stupid o'clock and it's pouring down and windy  - another weekend of crap?

[Arnie Pie]

Any conformation for lightning just to the N of Wolverhampton 3 oclockish

[MattStoke]

A very wet 24 hours or so coming up.
