looking at the lamppost a slight sleetiness to the rain now.. temp dropped to 2.4 degrees now...!! another hour or so and should be turning more... prob need some heavy precipitation to help with the process!!

[Ian Ballinger]

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

It's almost comical Conor

Luckily precip should start to move more NW then west as the night progresses, may be a case of to little to late though if it starts fizzling out.

[Bolton67]

Snowing well in crick

That's where my depot is. hope you get cut off so i cannot make it into work tomorrow.

[Fozfoster]

sleet now, temp 1.2c

[kmanmx]

1.7c here. And you know what, even if it doesn't Snow, i've still had a great time on here today. Half the fun is talking to everyone here and lampost watching, actual snow falling is just the icing on the cake

ohhhh under a yellow blob now.

[LeeKay]

Evening. Sleet / wet snow for the past 15 mins or so now. Quite breezy too.

Currently 1.4°c falling @ rate -0.6°c/hr DP 0.8°c

[Brrrrr!]

Lights out inside, lampost watching outside..

[ANYWEATHER]

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

2c here and a 2c dewpoint, cold rain here !

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

Yep!

[hammy]

a quick update, just been outside and we have.. wait for it... 2mm of SNOW on the car/bins/grass

steady as she goes..

elevation could be key here

[Gustywind]

Wet snow here now, very rapid transition. Not settling yet though.

[Bishop Brennan]

I tell you what, no matter what happens tonight regarding snow, there are going to be some very serious issues regarding ice. If temps keep falling as they are, all those puddles are about to freeze solid over the next few hours.

[weatherguy]

Maybe if everyone turns off their central heating, that will make the crucial difference between sleet and snow outside?

[Nigel Langton]

Rain still in south brum

[conor123]

About a 80/20 mix now of snow/rain, in fact more like 90/10, temperature falling steadily, luckily dry gap is filling in a bit.

[Rammie]

Kettering now down to 1.7 and heavy sleet

[Nigel Langton]

Snow in se Birmingham b26

[the lad sharp]

Mainly snow here now. Temp about 0.8.

[Serendipity]

dp still over 1 here so sleet falling, no sign of snow, not a chance of settling snow imo!

[Bolton67]

Temp 1c dp 0.7 snow trying to settle.

[Nigel Langton]

Maybe if everyone turns off their central heating, that will make the crucial difference between sleet and snow outside?

[camperstron]

Snowing now in south brum. Was pleasantly surprised by one of my cats belting in covered in it

[TootyFruity]

Does anybody know what the system coming in on weds holds for the midlands and will it change at all before then ?
