People actually care about snow a week before the start of May?

 It might not be ideal and what people want heading into summer. But this is a weather enthusiasts forum and snow and convective weather like this is interesting whether people like it or not!

 

Looks like it's going to be a chilly one here tonight, 0.4°C already.

Well said!

Just had a heavy graupel shower pass through, each one almost a cm in diameter, has left a covering. Also had the years first clap of thunder! The temperature has barely been above 6C today and that's even with sunny intervals, spring's a slow burner this year.

Brrr today, hail/graupel/sleet and snow showers on and off leaving a temporary cover. The fells have a dusting. Tomorrow afternoon and evening could deliver quite low level snow.

Rain/hailstoning at the moment

Big fluffy flakes from that shower, settling above 250m. Hills are lovely and white. Feel sorry for the birds nesting on the moors though!

[WillinGlossop]

Heavy snow..... Inch on ground.....

[James M]

Big fluffy flakes coming down and sticking everywhere!!

[Weather-history]

Snow shower that passed over Irlam this morning

 

[Backtrack]

We also had a heavy snow shower last night. Briefly lay on cars. I went to bed though so unsure if it did it again

Snow warning for tonight issued

by Met Office

Front has arrived and we have wet sleety stuff with a few flakes mixed in. As evaporative cooling takes hold I'm expecting the precipitation to quickly turn to wet snow down to relatively low levels - could be a surprise very late notable snowfall for some parts over next 24 hours. Fells certainly about to take a pasting, pity I'm heading south this afternoon missing out.

[pip22]

Sleeting here now.

Back to rain now.

Met warning for tonight and  tomorrow.....

[damianslaw]

Rare to see temperatures falling through the middle of the day in late April. Currently 3.8 degrees with sleet. 

[AderynCoch]

Trust me to be flying out of the country when I'm under a snow warning. Doubt I'll see any in Naples.

[cheshire snow]
