freezing rain is effective, very rare leaves everything icy/white, not mentioned though on bbc/meto etc

[A.J]

any areas in the west midlands currently having snow will see ppn rapidly change to freezing rain and then plain old rain...Dew points generally are at or just below 0C, but more importantly T850's are generally now just above 0C, which makes snow an impossibility (snow flakes will melt in air temps above 0C below the WBFL - even if surface temps/dewpoints are below freezing all you'll get is re-frozen raindrops)

Heavy snow here from that patch just north of Coventry, wind is from the east weirdly.

Yes it will, unless youre on the highest of ground above 1,000ft....

[i love snow]

If the precip is heavy enough wont it dring the dew point and temps down enough for snow?
