Bloody awful out there. This is exactly the type of weather i despise. Cold and wet. 5c and rain. Awful.

[nanu]

getting a pulse of flakes then back to rain at mo here.. cant see it being all that much if it does turn all to snow falling.. anyway i want the warm weather back!!

[mispy]

getting a few flakes of snow in with the rain in Borehamwood! Wasn't expecting it at all. Am hoping this means the precipitation will stop soon...

[Arnie22]

the heavy rain of this morning is now turning more and more to heavy sleet/wet snow - wind really picking up as well

[Pixel]

We have white, fluffy, cold and wet stuff about the side of 20p floating down from the sky and blowing in the freshening wind - is it snow?

Yes it Lettuceing is - who'da thought it possible

From west to east the back edge of the precipitation has slowed considerably, the wind now has a northerly component to it and the temp (3.1c) and dewpionts (2c) are dropping…

Mk have you finished your bottle of mulled wine yet?

Upminster Bridge has dropped from 9 degrees at noon down to 4.8 degrees. Nowt coming from the sky at the moment though of any form, except for some more bird sh*te on the bathroom windows. I am going to dismantle next door's bird feeder when they're not looking.

Just starting to turn to snow in NW essex, temp at stansted has just dropped 4c in 30 mins, and some pretty big flakes (about the size of golf balls) coming down

Ahh a local Wood person....Hi. Its never going to settle here way too wet

[blackprince]

Here in Docklands its dropped from 10.4C to 4.1C in 2 hours

[fatyido]

Rain turning more sleety now here in St Neots. Some big wetflakes mixed in now

[snowking]

Back to drizzle at the moment. Downdrafts playing a big role in this from the looks of things, probably due to marginal dew points

Heavy rain here, wind has swung around to a more north westerly and really picked up. Felt very raw this morning up on Colley Hill although the temp at that time was 8c according to the car thermometer. It's a few degrees less than that here now in Reigate and there is just the odd hint of sleetiness starting to appear.

I don't really fancy going out again but I am running out of time to get a chicken for dinner tonight. Mind you, next door are away and I've always felt they had one guinea pig too many, so I do have options.....

AS I could throw in a few gastro-enteric garden birds if you like

[Anthonyb]

Going by the latest radar most of London and home counties should be dry by 5/6pm
