Nothing happening now.

Had heavy sleet 10 mins ago that was it!

[TEITS]

Last post from me this evening.

Again looking at radar and reports its tricky working out what will happen especially as the radar is playing up. Seems everything from rain, freezing rain, sleet, heavy snow is possible and again from reports its the intensity of the precip that is deciding this. I read a report of someone witnessing the temps dropping from 1.5C to 0.8C due to heavy snow falling.

A few cm so far tonight on top of the 4 inches still laying from previous falls. No thaw this evening whatsoever and the rain that fell was freezing rain.

So in the morning you could find slight accumulations, a thaw, or even heavy falls! Seems its a Lotto tonight and its who gets lucky with the heaviest precip.

[Jason T]

Heavy Ice/Rain now. I suppose we would all call it Sleet. Glad its January.

[Snowy Easterlies]

pretty wet out there now moderate rain falling with the odd bit of sleet, thank god im not out in it

[Norfolk Sheep]

Please let us know what your friend got seven of in three hours?

Ah.....a space too many in that sentence! 7in - as in inches of snow

[Mark Burton]

Heavy snow now, and settling - this is mad....

[Jason T]

I think some will be really happy later,Some will be un-happy. So to love the weather GODS to grant the UK ,Especially (3 Counties East Anglia Thread) to Score 10-out-10. However, Boring UK with its Boring UK Rubbish Spells Boring and Frustrated mood for Many,Lets live up to expectations and thrive,Then again lets pray for a miracle.. . . . They do happen.

Been pouring with rain here for a fair while, sucks. No snow down here for sure, had a flurry before the main band earlier... Not even close to sleet, just pure rain.

Well, most people here have gone to bed just when the fun starts!

We have a Snow to Rain to Snow event - Temps have dropped back to 0.4C

[mackerel sky]

Back to where we started in Rushden. 1-2cm early on that got washed away by the sleet between 10pm-12am (other than on top of the existing snow) to now 1-2cm again. Could do with it picking up a bit.

[Eskimo]

Another bust event here.

Typically in Rushden we are 0.5-1C colder than in Bedford, my son is at nursery in Melchborne and the one morning this week when the cloud did break, the car thermometer read -11C at 8am there. Once down Kimbolton Road into Bedford town centre it was -2C. Rushden is a much bigger town nowadays, but on a level playing field does get more snow. More rural and 200ft higher.

[Jason T]

Rain here and going strong. My ASL must be wrong lol.
