On XCWeather, if you play the Wind Direction tab on animated you'll see a very definite deviation on the latest frame - winds turning more easterly, which presumably is a good sign overall.

Lashing it down right now, the heaviest of the day.
The temp is gently starting to fall, now 3.6c with a DP of 3.2c, whereas around midday they were 4.7c and 4.4c respectively.

This link is a good way of observing temperature differences across the country - click on the 'Temp' tab near the top-right:

I believe it updates every 20 minutes or so

Steady rain here for most of the morning. Current temp is 4.6c, although it seems to have stopped climbing now. DP is 4.3c
I know it's still hours before anything might happen, but I ain't holding my breath.

Wow the North-West thread is going into meltdown, multiple reports of blizzard-like conditions although not everywhere is seeing it settle so far.
All heading our way - could be interesting for a couple of hours before it turns back to rain

It seems to be slightly too warm for snow here at the moment, however the temperature is dropping quite quickly now the sun has disappeared - five minutes ago it was 5.3c whereas now it is already 4.5c. The DP is currently -0.9c

Fantastic link shezale, thanks for posting!
Incidentally, there is a thread within the Historic Weather area for this particular event - would you mind sharing the link there as well, plus any memories you have of the day?

There appears to be a real north/south divide with regards to the temperatures in the Midlands at present, which probably explains why those mostly to the north of Birmingham saw snow last night whilst the rest of us mostly experienced rain and sleet. We got up to a sweltering 6.5c earlier this afternoon.
PS congratulations sir on your 5,000th post!
