Raining yet again- very light and no sign of any sleet. Typical Shrewsbury cold snap weather!

I've never had so much exercise, walk to the window, back to the keyboard, press f5, back to the window...phew this is hard work.

Still raining and temp dropping 1.1c from 1.3c (hinckley)

Finally snowing here! Started off as yet more boring rain to add to the rain we had on Saturdays non event. I decided to ignore it and just checked and it's proper snow now not sleet at all but big flakes beginning to settle! Very wet but looks great - lampost watch in full effect :-)

71m asl by the way.

[Koppite]

Heavy snow here, not settling as yet.

[we_want_snow]

I must be teetering on the edge of the warm sector - back to rain here, all our snow cover from Sat now gone. Our road has been icy since last week, now all washed away and completely clear again.

This is going to be so good when it gets heavier especially as it should stick on previous covering.

If its snowing where i am in the severn valley, then you should be guaranteed it.
