Everyone seems to have missed this but the amber warning is a rain and snow warning. 

Rain associated with Storm Christoph will persist for the rest of Wednesday and into early Thursday, with some more intense rainfall possible before it clears. A further 20-30 mm is likely widely, with more than 60 mm over some higher ground areas - bringing totals since Tuesday into the range of 100 - 200 mm over some hills. Rain may temporarily turn to heavy, wet snow as it clears, leading to a cover of 1-4 cm in places, possibly more on high ground. Strong winds will accompany the rain at times and may add to travelling difficulties across higher and more exposed routes.

 

That's for North east England well it was a few minutes ago.

6.2C and bouncing it down.

Defo looks like a squall line on the radar. Explains the heavy rain and steep temp drop behind I think

It's nots it's for the amber warning for rain. 

 

Reason for update

Warning end time brought forward to 0600, with warning area adjusted, particularly a reduction in the eastward extent. Mention of possible snow as rain begins to clear.

[The PIT]

No wind here it's dropped out but swung from the SSE to the WNW and temp down to 5.2C.

Still 5.2c here.  You were about a degree warmer than me not long ago!

Must be your altitude coming into play

5.7c here now. Getting there!

[Sunny_AS]

Cars are now getting covered...hammering it down with snow....

[Pipine]

3.2 here.. dropped so fast, was 8.6 half an hour ago.

[The PIT]

3.7C raining a bit more heavily now.

[Slysi100]

Question is, will the front have pushed through before it turns to snow? Still raining in Barnsley. 

[ChezWeather]

Absolutely belting it down here

[Had Worse]

You might not need to wait to long, the transition from rain to snow was like flicking a switch. Its snowed for an hour and 15 and its dropped 2.5" still coming down incredibly heavy.

[Empire Of Snow]

Heavy rain but temp is dropping faster than Mane and Fernandez combined. 

[joggs]

2 deg n snowing in Bingley

[Craigers]

Just to keep the energy alive in here tonight!
