We are currently experiencing heavy wet snow here just North of Chelmsford. Its 2c and I am very surprised at this, there was no mention of this bbc southeast. Its not settling yet.

Heavy snow here

[Jackfrost]

We had sleet and a little bit of wet snow today.

[Thundery wintry showers]

There was allegedly some torrential rain and hail in Lancaster between 2.30 and 4.30 pm, on an otherwise uneventful day. With the temp falling to 3.4C, I suspect there was probably sleet or wet snow as well.

I was indoors, away from windows and hence the weather, for just 2 hours today.

2:30 to 4:30pm.

:evil:

[Andy Bown]

I am reporting light sleet this evening between 18-1900.

Temp really fell quickly this afternoon.

From 6c at midday in a W wind to just 1c by 1600 and a brisk northerly.

[Methuselah]

Sleet here today too. The snowline came down a bit at around midday, and I started to get excited. It only rained after that though! :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Ross B]

more heavy sleet :cry:

[mackerel sky]

The snow in Bedford this afternoon settled a bit, giving a covering on cars, roofs, grass and slush on the road. On the drive home up the A6 it was quite thick on the outskirts of Rushden on the laybys and side roads, about 2-3 inches. It's thawed quite abit, but stopped thawing now as the skys clear. Still about an inch on the grass and pavements in places.

Just goes to show even small differences in altitude/urban heat make the difference between snow settling or not - Bedford (25m) trace of snow settling, OS spot height on A6 2 miles south of Rushden (103m), upto 3 inches.

Nice snowy pictures on local news from Northampton Town's Sixfields stadium tonight.

[JulieinHerts]
