The misses just phoned to tell me its chucking it down with snow in the Forest - if we miss out again i think I will give up my interest in weather and take up pulling out my toe nails with rusty pliers

View from littledean hill in the forest - is that snow/low cloud or fog?

The radar show the precip band as mostly rain, how come it's chucking it down with snow in Cardiff?

I think you mean snow mixed in with rain; that is sleet.

Still raining here in Nth BTL, albeit v.light.

my mate texted me from tintern in wales lots of snow there .

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Well, seems my temp might of peaked at 2.8C but the DP was well above 1c so hence no snow.

That said, did have some wet snow in a downpour just now.

[Wynn D Woo]

Unsurprisingly its raining here even with a DP of 0C, who wants to go halves on a snow machine with me???

Well who know's it might turn as the evening moves on.

On a good note....There are more people who dont like snow and Storm's

Im slowly becoming one of them in the UK

Looks like it, Temp up to 1.9c

I would, but we might also need some epic freezers to, I found some but they still need -2C ambient temp to work properly. (oh and they only shipped to the US at a few thousand $)

[MP-R]

Scrap that - heavy sleet and hail now. 0.8C

[kumquat]

Proper fat snow in Filton Bristol (but now onto wet ground and what's remaining of the snow cover)

[SteveB]

Nope I mean rain with sleet mixed in. Now snow here mate.

[Bristawl Si]

Heavy sleet now in Nth BTL; bit of a surprise. In fact more snow mixed in than rain.

[kumquat]

Edit back to sleet!

[Nick L]

Nope I mean rain with sleet mixed in. Now snow here mate.

But sleet is rain and snow, so you had rain with rain and snow?

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

But sleet is rain and snow, so you had rain with rain and snow?

Yeah, 2 parts rain to 1 part snow.

[aspire27]

But sleet is rain and snow, so you had rain with rain and snow?

I think it was just rain.

[SteveB]

But sleet is rain and snow, so you had rain with rain and snow?

I am sure you can have plain old rain with the odd bit of sleet in it., just as you can have snow with sleet in it.

Anyway, what ever was falling from the sky has stopped now & the Temp has gone up to 2.1c
