heavy sleet shower moved through, earlier shower gave hail, 5 minutes before, quiet on here? thought other areas would be under inches of snow, sleet here means feet of snow most other areas

The only snow here was very early this morning when there was 1cm lying following heavy showers, almost all of it had thawed by 0900.

Frequent short showers of ice pellets and snow pellets  today, none of them lasting long enough for anything to settle.

A warm dry spring-like day with a max of 13.1C. Just to prove it, the frogs have started croaking in the pond!

Yep warm here too, with a lovely sunny couple of days around 13:00 hours.

Max of 11.4C here.

I keep my frogs under control at this time of year!!!

Any courting is stamped upon. I use a fish net and take them to the local park. There they can indulge in  their orgies! 

 

(My Koi don't like being treated as female frogs by the unattached males!)

11C being called warm = :doh:

Yeah, saying 11c is warm is going a bit too far. It has felt very mild to me today though. Even right now, it's 9:30pm, current temp is around 10c and I can actually walk outside with a t shirt on and it feels comfortable!

It's the same every year at this time though for me. My body seems to get used to the cold and as soon as the temp rises above 10c, It feels kinda warm!

When the temp is 10c in October time though, it feels cold! Just the body acclimatising I think.

The cold front has just past thru Solihull with a 2 hr spell of rain, the last 10 minutes have been very heavy.! 

Bang went the golf. 

 

Temperatures had risen to 10.4C by this morning, but are droppoing back rapidly now in 10 minutes having dropped a whole 1C  to 9.3C  

 

Had noticed the possible wintriness appearing on the MOD thread for end of next week, on the GFS and ECM. MO may also be heading the same way.

As alluded to by BigSnow it is not the first time this year, the models thinks its right for the change to blocking but the weather has never really managed it . It is now about a week away, but the changes will need to  be still in the modles at the weekend for it to be a 'goer'. Lets hope!.

  :cc_confused:  :cc_confused:  :D   :cold:

 

Edit -   it has now dropped to 7.7C in the last 5 minutes,  so quite an active feature.

Haven't been able to post in a few days...

Had a heavy hail shower pass through monday around 12:45pm, it can e with a deep roll of thunder which set a car alarm off too.

Was nice to have a bit milder weather yesterday.

Some heavy back edge rain this morning from the front.

And I'm trying to ignore the chances for March until they get into a more reliable timeframe.

looking at the over night runs it was yet another garden path easterly.... so many times this winter the models have been so wrong.... I think in future I will wait until the wind is actually blowing in from the east before I believe any model showing it...
