And, another one!

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Temp absolutely shot up to 1.2C and now raining

[artic*blizzard*]

lets get things started, whats the weather and temps like where you are??

bishops cleeve, nr cheltenham - dry after drizzle, overcast and now 0.9oC

[03jtrickey]

I'll start by saying the temperature, curiously enough, has dropped from 1.4 an hour ago to 1.1C.

Precipitation on its way soon. Probably sleety over the hills, but I'm not sure about here. We'll have to wait and see.

There is nothing on my side of Chelt..

But temps have gone down

[aspire27]

snow in cardiff, temp there 0.9

Yes - odd that! Can only be a good sign. But then again, we all know how much the weather loves to get us excited about nothing!

[artic*blizzard*]

for snow i think we need the heavy precipitation which takes the temperature down further, none of this light drizzle rubbish

[Wilxy]

sleet here.

[snowdog]

Raining here for most of the morning,in the last 45 mins we have had heavy hail showers leaving a white covering on the ground.Shame it isn't snow !Most pavements and roads have thawed now,but still some spots with ice.

Rain in Filton, Bristol Temp 1.9C / DP 1C <BR><BR>Getting sleety as it gets heavier

[Nights King]

Sleet here in whitchurch although report from back home has said very wet snow up on mendip but its is very wet and will probably be rain when i get home in 3 hours time ish.

[theprophecyman]

Wow how did u access that?

[SteveB]

Rain with the dd bit of sleet, fairly heavy though. My rain gauge has not recorded anything yet considering it's been going for about an hour.

I guess it's frozen still.

Temp 1.6c

Humidity 93%

Dewpoint 0.5c

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Chance of evaporative cooling in the heavier bits?

[kumquat]

Wow how did u access that?

My thoughts exactly - Maybe tommypoo is Richard Angwin?
