I assume there is no daily current conditions?
Anyway, thought of posting this in the Unusual Weather Conditions" Thread
Last night there was rain which turned to heavy wet snow with temperatures down to +1.6c in early hours then heavy rain at 0800am at +0.5c this morning melting snow, despite it being colder (odd) - or that slushy mix on the grass here in Okehampton but nearby hills and moors were covered white with proper snow.
As I drove toward Exeter for work (30 miles east) it was all rain and it got greener and greener. Rain turned heavier mid morning despite temperatures remaining around +3 mark. This evening the temperature in Exeter was +3c at 18:00 and I drove back to Okehampton (30 miles west on edge of DARTMOOR) along a30 and all that snow on side or slushy deposit which fell early hours had melted and temperature was actually much warmer at +8c in Okehampton (200m asl) yet it was actually colder in Exeter by some +4.0c all day into evening- but there was no snow in Exeter or not reported. My only guess as to why Exeter held onto cold longer is that it's further east where the cold airmass stuck around longer but yet didn't turn rain to snow?
Bizarre eh? - TBH South and SW never really got into the cold airmass we never made it to freezing! - At least I saw some snow early hours but wasn't enough and shame we never had these eventful weather patterns in the winter.
ANYWAY, Nice to see some interesting weather after a month or so of nothingness!
Currently drizzle plus +8.5c here in Okehampton.
