A very brief flurry of snow grains / graupel in Marleybone as I walked to work this moning...

[johnholmes]

about 1 dozen spots of very cold rain and sleet around 9am. Genuine as I was in it taking the grass min emp, some went down my neck!

[Ripeberry]

Light drizzle and just had a burst of snow grains for about 5 mins, just started to accumulate at edge of path then it stopped and all melted! Drizzle started up again, temp 3c.

[londonsnow]

[Foggy]

Very light snow here for last 10 minutes, with the tiniest dusting of snow in a few selected spots

I think the answer is, as with any very slight ppn, very probably No!

[SnowJoke]

Wasn't really snow.

Wasn't really Drizzle.

Was definately the horrible stuff aptly named SNIZZLE!!! LOL.

Was snizzling around 9am here when i was on my way out of tesco's in Bletchley.

Snowing quite nicely here and its gone very dark! Its very smalll flakes but is settling on the ground, but will not amount to anything yet unless it gets heavier.

[Weather-history]

Snow grains falling in west Manchester

[Mistral 38]

Had some light snow grains to the East of Rotherham this morning .

[Paul Gilliver]

We have had snow grains falling for the last 3 hours some just larger than ants. Sitting waiting in anticipation for some big stuff

[Serendipity]

Same as the others really - a few snow grains today , so fine its easy to miss

[conor123]

Some snow grains here at times

[PersianPaladin]

btw - if anybody was reporting hail, well, your not quite right. It's more likely graupel (which is basically snowgrains passing thru super-cooled cloud droplets and loosing their crystal structure to become pellat form). This is distinct from the convective origin of hail and their harder composition.

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

Graupel shower here at the moment, only light, but settling on the colder surfaces.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Heavy graupel shower at 10:30am, then a light sleety flurry at 2pm.

Heavy graupel shower at 10:30am, then a light sleety flurry at 2pm.

Looks like a rather isolated affair.

[Red Raven]

a few small grains falling now. the mountain tops look ever so slighty whiter.
