[moogyboobles]

it's raining lots here :cry: really wanted snow!

[coffee23]

Rain, Rain and ummmm well more Rain........... :cry:

[coffee23]

Mainly Snow with a little Sleet here now, not laying though (not even on cars). :?

[mackerel sky]

Here it's absolutely chucking it down with a mix of sleet and occassional bursts of wet snow. Noticed on the BBC forecast saying 3 degrees for tomorrow they've upted it to 5 degrees. Had a miserable walk home from the pub though with ice bashing my parker hood.

[mackerel sky]

Looks like the sleet/snow is clearing through here.

Bah!

Here's hopeing the easterly blast sets in and perks the dregs of it back up again across E Anglia/E Mids.

[mackerel sky]

We've got light snow here now. 90m asl. Don't think there's much chance of it settling, but you've got to keep the dream alive. Don't believe for one minute it's going to get upto 5 degrees here tomorrow. Hopefully the oclusion will get stuck and be fed by cold air off the continent as it attempts to dive into central Europe. Surely some NE's have to come into the equation at some point, even for a 12 hr spell.

Forever an optimist for 2004

[mackerel sky]

After several hours of occassional snow and sleet i'm reassured that the thermometer has dropped below 1 degree celcius. But for the past two hours it's just been frozen rain, it makes a racket on my patio and windows. The radar suggests that this precipitation is now a bit stuck over eastern england, probably end up as drizzley bits, before giving our lucky contential neighbours a decent dump.

[spindrift]

still snpw on the ground here this morning and its starting to freeze.

[pyrogaz]

Morning all.

About 5 cm of wet snow fell in SW Cumbria between 7pm and 11pm last night then turned to rain. In the Penrith area had about the same amount but it's melting quickly this morning.

[Graham]

Had heavy snow here in norfolk from 1am onwards and good covering, but this morning has gone back to rain! .......but more on way!

[SnowSnow...&.More Sno]

Still a covering of wet snow here, it's thawing away slowly as it's still very cold here, +2c We had Blizzard conditions for about 5 hours last night and were sledging and snowball fighting at midnight ..Now i have a huge headache and the snow is melting :cry: ..
