Just south of camberley, Surrey J3 M3. Temp 1c dew point 1c. Rain falling melting the laying snow slowly but surely. Anyone with any idea on the chance of snow on the back edge later?

A noticeable thaw taking place here now. Temp at 8am was -4.4c, now 1.8c and rising. I had 5cm of lying snow still from the falls of Thursday and Saturday night but its now visibly melting. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Perhaps the areas to the north and east of me will hang on to the colder temps a while longer ?

I posted yesterday that the Met Office forecast our weather in Lowestoft to be unbroken sunshine for the next 5 days. 24 hours later and they now forecast 2 days off continuous rain. Goodbye White Christmas, hello soggy New Year. Nice while it lasted.

Hi Mesocyclone, welcome to the forum :D

Im sorry to hear that your snow is melting, this is quite similar to what happened on the 5th of February this year. There is a chance of the rain turning to snow on its back edge, but because of the snow melt, may not settle

Thanks for the welcome, as i type it has got heavier and is turning more to sleet, anyone know if this is anything to do with a warm sector passing or just the increased intensity?

I think those to the north of London away from the urban heat will see snow, very marginal here all morning

very light rain/sleet here. But the ground must still be freezing as the ice and snow that is left has barely melted at al during the past few days, and hasnt melted this morning either.

:drinks: I knew there was a reason I took pictures this morning of my 2-3 foot long Icicles hanging everywhere. TBH I am glad that I am in the rain area up to Xmas as the ice sheets around where I live are about 8" Thick at present and I have seen so many people fall over on pavements. Dont think todays rain is going to get anywhere near to melting all of the ice as it is so thick but a rapid thaw with + temps over the next few days will be welcome as Folks are coming down for Xmas.

It can snow all it wants in January though :rofl::good:

Thank you.

Raintoday showed snow over me this morning around 10am and it was rain, dew point down 1c to 0c now, going the right way!

Some big flakes starting to get mixed in with the rain, looking so close yet so far!

Massive icicles in Ipswich today as well - I have never seen any that big before ! We have loads of snow still as well...so Im not too fussed whether its sleet or snow or rain here....but some more snow would be nice just to see even more though !

Well MetO have a warning out for Herts, but not Essex, and as I'm on the Herts/Essex border I'm expecting a horrible sleety rain now. Temp is up to 0.9c and increasing still.

I would now discribe it as wet snow. some lovely big flakes starting, i think this could give a very good dumping for some. Amazing how the models didnt get hold of this equally at such a short timeframe....
