Very different here, still hovering around 6°C and dry.

 

Yeah, seem to have settled around 4°C - 5°C here. Not one shower yet... -_-

[SP1986]

we've settled at just under 4C here for now, but its gradually rising. The unsettled nature of the showers seemed to be causing unrest in the temperature trends, so now the temperatures should settle where the wind blows!

[bridgechad]

2oC and clear here! temps had leveled off in the past two hours but started dropping again so it could have been cloud cover.  only just woke up from a nap haha

[Gaz1985]

Snow beginning to settle on the grass verge at the M62 Summit in Saddleworth

temps up to 2.8oC and radar showing precipitation on the way.  not long left to see if its the first snow falling this autumn/winter now

scratch that, the start is here already and its drizzle...

[Cheshire Freeze]

Wet snow/sleety mix falling here now.

[Miamay]

It hailstoning heavy now

[MrSunshine]

Well that was amazing, I've just witnessed the coldest rain I've ever felt at 168 metres above sea level. Night all.

[Chris.R]

Still nothing here. The showers are still missing me. They do tend to do that.

[James M]

Finally a shower has hit here but it's mostly freezing rain. It's trying to turn sleety at times with a few flakes mixed in but that's it.

Still I suppose first wintry precipitation of the season! haha

heavy rain here in ashton.  might have been the odd flake mixed in there for good fun but defo not sleet nevermind snow.  good effort but no cigar, unless the temp drops big after the shower passes and the bigger shower due soon takes advantage.  cant see it though think my night is over! defo worth a trip into the hills tomorrow though! 

[bridgechad]

in the heavier shower it turned to snow for about 5 mins.  i'll take that as the first snow flakes of this upcoming winter  

[Miamay]
