Looking at the latest rainfall radar on the MO site you can see it going around Dartmoor.

Just wish the showers would man up a bit and come over the top!

Hey guys just got back in from girlfreinds only just noticed it's been snowing in the last ten minutes, have a really thin slushy covering here in tewks.

Unless it was raining earlier and only just recently turned to wet snow, edit ah I see was raining in chelts earlier so must of only just turned might be wrong.

oh how depressing it's turning to sleet rain now,cant believe its raining such is the nature I bet it's blizzard conditions on cleeve hill now.

Pretty certain it is snowing here too, a bit hard to see, but whatever is coming down is fairly heavy. Nothing settling though!
