Game over for all of us if you are reporting sleet. 

Mostly due to precip being light and drizzly...if anything of higher intensity it’d be snow.... 

[Snow free zone]

Showers already starting to move into Scotland and N Ireland. Mostly snow looking at the radar as well.

Heavy snow in Whitefield just beginning to stick to cars and roofs

 There’s going to be some beasts of cells tonight. Expecting quite a few reports of lightning.

Give it time, as the temps cool off into this evening the showers coming behind should be the main event for many parts of our region. The top of the fells near you must be covered now though?

[Iceaxecrampon]

Sleet in Balderstone...!

Looking at all the reports coming in it seems as if conditions are more favourable as the wind and ppn swings round to the NW

Kirkstone Cam looking "interesting" - I think the pass is still open unlike A6 Shap.

[SnowThunder]

We've got plenty of the predicted rain, here's hoping the snow will come later

 

[whitewitch]

Snow here

[Hanny]

Hi all, Brinscall - wet snow, has been going for about an hour and is starting to settle except for roads, a lot of surface water from earlier rain, if this lot freezes tonight, roads will be very tricky.

[More Runs Needed]

Back to sleet in Manchester cc

[captaincroc]

Omg, snowflakes in Crewe shocker!! After all the reports I was expecting rain for most of the day! Could be fun after all.

06z EURO4 is a belter 

[feb1991blizzard]

Belting down now, pity we had that rain to wash the dusting last night away first  as we are wasting snow now until it starts to settle properly.

[Backtrack]

Lots of snow mixed in now!

[Snowy L]

100% rain still. Back in familiar territory with sleet/snow to my west, south, east and north

Get a larger tin of freezer spray and give the flakes a helping hand to settle.

Tip for the day. I used loads last night to make the drive and car look that white.

I feel your pain!

[Minnizi]

Just rain here. Think for my part of the wirral the chance may come later. It is a colder than early this morning though

[Chris.R]

Very sleety now here. Think this might turn before we get to the back edge.
