The sleet is now much more obvious, even a casual glance from the window shows snow flakes mixed in with the rain. Don't know what the temperature is as I'm at work.

[Bolton67]

Well villa have won so anything can happen today

I've got em down for relegation.

[mackerel sky]

Lol

[cyclonic happiness]

Sleety here now

The rain here has changed in character in the last half hour and is now that sort of heavy, but very fine rain you get just before it turns to sleet and then to snow....I have a good feeling about tonight, it has an air of 1990 about it :-) (and I'm usually negative about this sort of stuff lol)

[Nigel Langton]

Omg if villa have won then anything really can happen. Snow in August I reckon if villa stay up.

I agree.

They have got this all wrong. Way underestimated snow amounts. I think we'll see some people come out with 20CM.

And I'm only half joking!

[fourseasons]

I think itl be around 2c surface temp when we see the transition

Since my previous post at 13:28, the temperature has dropped by 1 degree, temperature is now 3.1 degrees. The rain isn't that heavy though.

[hammy]

villa only won because of soft decisions by the ref! ah well they'll still go down

can you tell im a blues fan?

anyway back to the weather, temp now at 2.5 with a dew point of 2.1!

Bring on the snowmagedon

[kmanmx]

Well, would you like up that. A nice juicy gap of weak precipitation with Leicester right in line with it all. Why am I not surprised ?

Hope this changes.

[Staffordshire]

Lets not ramp to much guys

But i agree with bish a joint thread is much better, we have a good chat and some banter too

[Terminal Moraine]

Now light wet snow. Nothing settling.

this is good, a good while for the ground to dry up and hopefully when that heavier ppn arrives it will be a much better type!

[snow freak]

4C ???

I'm showing 2.6c

as i said, my guage is just a 'stick out the window' one so proximity to the house might have an effect. just need to show it dropping that's the important thing. snow can fall at temps at high as 7c but for any settling to occur the temp needs to be less than 3c. saying that rain can fall at temps just above freezing so temp isn't always a gurantee of snow unless they are really low.

12z GFS quite an upgrade for areas E and SE of Birmingham. I would put Warwickshire and Northamptonshire as the places to be for this event.
