I think game over for tonight now as nothing settles properly anyway.

 

There wasn't really a game on, if you expect too much you're never going to be happy.

Seriously? It has been snowing here on and off for an hour or so. Not that is has settled.

I went to look outside and stood right under a lampost and yes I could see some very fine and small flakes. Pretty sparse though...my car seems to have some raindrops on it so maybe a bit that melted?....maybe my lampost is too far away from the window...!

It's now clearing up, but absolutely everywhere is now soaking wet after several minutes of moderate sleety rain. Not exactly ideal if there is any snow popping up later! Oh well, this was never likely to be great for my location/altitude, so I'm not too upset. Hoping for better at some point before this chilly spell ends. :)

Nice to be sat perfectly in between two bands of snow

 

Judging by some reports, you're possibly perfectly between two bands of sleet! Not sure if that makes you feel any better...

Dew points have risen, as the wind is more WSW, so I guess the showers are picking up the warmer air from the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea.

The met showed all showers would be of snow in the Midlands.

It snowed here at 3.30pm. and was sticking.

Bloody typical! So frustrating.
