Wow, huge dry zone over towards Cambridge and into East Northants.

[cyclonic happiness]

Bit confused about so many reports of sleet. 98m ASL, 100% rain here, 2.1c now.

It's the colder uppers making their presence felt rather altitude.

[fourseasons]

Temperatures continuing to tumble, now at 2.1 degrees and has turned more towards snow in the last few minutes.

NMM has most of the precipitation dieing out after 10pm, and the intenser stuff up derby way, so i'm not sure i'm going to see anything much at all settling here.

[Bolton67]

I'm sure the radar is playing up today??? that huge gap has now filled in.

Nope pure rain. Not even a hint of sleet.

To be honest i've noticed that it's often rain here when others report sleet, must be something about my area.

[cold stoke]

IT has now turned to snow here ... yes !

where r u

[Higher Ground]

Snow is starting to settle here, but it's very borderline. Just turning the grass a little white. So I can say with some confidence that the snowline in this area would be about 1000 feet (300 metres)

[i love snow]

Slowly turning to sleet now!
