turning very sleety here, Im hoping for a change in the next half hour or so!

[chillyblast]

Sleet near Sandy / St Neots, 2c, if it drops cooler and turns to snow it will be very heavy as its hammering it down.

[mackerel sky]

Plenty of wet snow falling here. No sign of settling but early days.

[MarkT]

Sleeting quite heavily now here in Brierley Hill, starting to settle on bin lid and cars etc.

[Bishop Brennan]

Current temp is 1.1c with a dew point of 0.7c

Just about managing to settle on the grass now, hopefully when the DP drops that final 0.4C we'll see some drier stuff and will settle more readily

[Frostyhaze]

Still sleet here. Id guess won't turn to snow fully till 6.

That's more or less what I was thinking. Another temperature check is in order, but not til I've put dinner on

[ANYWEATHER]

Physics.

No one understands it.

Depends on how ever precip is, evaporative cooling...

[Staffordshire]

I think its starting to turn a bit more sleety now, i reckon by 9pm we will be going through a page every few mins haha

coming down quite heavy here, cars starting to get a slight covering.

[stewfox]

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?

Same here wet snow now back to largely rain bit of sleet

amazing your only up the road and its stil rainy sleet here

[wizgti]

Definite heavy sleet here in Evesham, AT 2.2 DP -0.

[hammy]

isn't it true that if the dp falls below 0 the snow will settle more readily?

[Potent Gust]

It is sleeting now can see it on the car and bins

[weather_it_will]

Proper snow here and is settling on cars and grass with all turning white.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Wednesday looking like a repeat of 25th Jan, northern areas of the UK are in for a snowfest, our region could see snow before turning less cold

[TootyFruity]

Currently Lamppost watching Nothing as yet ...... well apart from Rain !!!

[jukebox]

Turning more sleety here now...near Cannock.

Woop woop :-)

[conor123]

Ooh what a shock Telford about to move into the dry gap with it exploding east of here just as it turns to sleet :lol: typical!

[kmanmx]

Still drizzly light rain.

Let me know if it starts snowing on top of that hill mate.

[Ian Ballinger]

Think it's turning sleety here just as the dry patch is about to hit us

[MarkT]

It's slowly but surely going to a more wintry mix, just need it to turn to snow proper!

[sixfootdrifter]

Snowing well in crick near rugby. Countryside location helps a bit
