I will move back or similar but I can assure you it's caused some arguments with other half.  I am not impressed.

Stopped now but that was a nice surprise! 

Possibility of some hefty showers making their way to parts of our region late tonight / early hours tomorrow morning.

[fromey]

Currently have sleet, temps dropping 

[Nights King]

Upgrade alert I do have sleet and rain now. 

Yes kumquat I did say she could pick the house or live anywhere as long as its over 200m and at least 15 miles from the coast. Not much to ask for..

Sad as it seems, that could actually be my best chance of snow so far. I'm guessing the predicted temps are going to be right side of marginal,  so it's all going to rest on whether the precipitation actually makes it this far.

Bit lighter now but still snowing, settling too

Nice little bonus as wasn't expecting anything.

Looks good ! The joys of being in the valleys and hills. I’m over in Eastington now and although we have had some heavy wet snow none settled. 
Hopefully next week with the slightly dryer colder air anything that falls will come down to all levels  

[fromey]

Wet snow now

[slinky1989]

Just rain in Swindon, with the odd flake of sleet every couple of minutes!

The ICON 12z is rolling out now. Doesn't make much of it sadly.

Im liking that chart  hopefully the night temps will allow it to settle a little better

dewpoints look just the right side of marginal

Met office shows possibility of overnight snow.

[fromey]

I’m thinking this week will deliver a few surprises for some of us.

[slinky1989]

A few more flakes mixing in with the rain now but looking at the radar it won't last too long. Here's hoping our chances are better later!

[TheJCInsights]

This just appeared for Andover out of nowhere. Who knows if this will happen!?

Flattered to deceive me thinks. Band getting narrower. Did far better out if yesterday mornings little feature.

I'm surprised the video in the app isn't a "Rick roll" lol
