Weather station must be pretty accurate as now it is reporting -0.2DP and we have lots of big snowflakes blowing around in the wind.

[Bolton67]

some proper flakes falling now...and the precip looks to be intensifying..

[kmanmx]

Still rain, not even sleet..

[shaky]

Yes you should do later, it's snowing here in N/Derbyshire atm

Edit,, infact you are only 8 or so miles from me, you should see your rain turn to snow very soon, topo is helping me as you are a little lower maybe 220m..?

Rain still in south brum

[Frostyhaze]

I've not posted but I have been following the thread the last couple of days, some great banter btw.

Temperatures here have gone from, 4.9 this morning to 3.7 earlier, and I've just been out again and it's now 2.1. So the signs are looking promising at the moment. The rain has been relentless all day, but there's definate signs of change, I'm hoping to sea a change to more snow like precipitation in the next hour or so

[Dibdabbers]

i wish it would just turn to snow grrrrrr

[Ian Ballinger]

Looks like we will be entering the dry patch shortly

[chapmanraven]

Rain, rain and guess what? More rain. Lol still got fingers crossed though.

[fourseasons]

it is wet snow here so none of it is settling at all .... yet....

[Summer of 95]

Just been horrible cold wet rain here all day, no sign of any sleet or snow as yet

[Potent Gust]

It feels like it is on the verge of turning to sleet. Certainly feels cold outside

[kmanmx]

Slightly worried that it's been 2c for nearly an hour now with no change.

[Rammie]

Kettering, still only rain, temp down to 2.3.

[picog]

Stillrain here but temp down to 3.3C from 4.3C about an hour ago.

It keeps alternating between snow, sleet, & rain here

I'm confused - I didn't think snow was possible until the dew point was zero or below? My local (i.e. four miles away) weather station still shows the DP at 1.0c above freezing?
