is it causing mayhem?

Met Office website suggests not.

news of these alerts are really pepping up...METO have just emailed me with a 'Yamkin' alert :w00t:

[bellanite]

Snow/sleet in stroud if only it had been propper snow. mind you more settled in 20 min than in the last 24 hours!

[Met4Cast]

Is it me, or is the area over East Anglia very slowly working towards our region?

[kumquat]

Just started as rain here in Winterbourne BS36. approx 60m asl.

[the gas lad]

[snow raven]

Well, hopefully Yamkin is correct and some of us do get some bonus snow. Not sure about it causing mayhem, but who knows?

Good luck Mullender - might fall as something wintry on your 'little hill'

Temp in Warminster has gone up to 4.2c from 3.4c 45 mins ago so not good for snow!

But with humidity at 79% the dewpoint calculates as -8.4c!!

You sure your calculation is correct? Filton weather station giving air temp 4.9c, Humidity 80% dp 1.8c??

Heavy, Icy rain - some fat wet flakes mixed in now

Heavy, Icy rain

Ditto here now! Ice is going to be the main hazard come the morning I think!

This does not bode well.... Not even got some sleet?

[kumquat]

There's a few fat wet flakes mixed in with the heaviest stuff - but you have decent height there - might get lucky.

Huge flakes appearing now!

Should be 0.9C.

[kumquat]

Proper fat wet snow now! First I've seen this year :smilz38:

[Andy Bown]

Yea sorry I miscalculated lol!

Heaviest precipitation has 'slid' ESE as the band edges S! Should be here in around 15mins

I hope we don't get to much rain out of this because my remaining snow patches on front lawn are looking fragile.

Well fingers crossed the Mendips sees more snow as it was lovely and white up there this morning. Will take a trip up there tomorrow to go walkies.

[dubmuffin]

There is some very vey light precipitation out there at the moment, so light it is hard to tell if it is snowy or drizzly but although it's a balmy 5 deg with a 3.9 dewpoint, it feels v cold
