A little splodge of pink now appearing in Wales!

EDIT: Tried pasting a screen-shot of radar, but it didn't work!

Any tips on how to post images without using attachments (if possible)?... Thanks

Only problem I can see is the rain is moving away quite quickly along the south. I think itll be that splodge growing off the coast of Wales that will be the bringer of any snow (if it lasts across Wales)

Becoming very windy down here in the island now. Rain has been persistant and heavy since 18:00. It's going to be a wild few hours. Just got back in from playing 5 a side and the roads are very quiet. At least people have taken heed of the warnings from our local met department :good:

I have had a couple of bits of sleet earlier but now temperature is climbing here and just rain 3.1c I think the reason for this is we have warm core pushing through our region now...

I've just looked out the window here and I think it may be a sleety mix, but it's hard to tell...

Got a lamp-post just outside the bedroom window, so that will come in handy for snow-spotting...

Just hope my new neighbours don't think I'm spying on them!!

"I'm lamp-post watching for snow... Yes... Seriously!" :smilz38:

look at the stuff in north wales.. sleet really expanding there :)

I wouldn't be surprised if it's more widespread than the radar is actually depicting... As has been said earlier, the radar is not overly accurate with regards to ppn type!

Yesterday when we had snow it showed as rain... Not even sleet!
