Was a chilly night, a low of 0.1c and up to 2.4c now

Sat in the office in Reading and looked out and saw a peregrine falcon flying over, so that was a good start to the day.

It's been four long years since we last had that much snow here, and doubtless it'll be at least five as we're most unlikely to see settling snow now that spring is here.

Talking of spring, today was the start of the much colder conditions aloft as forecast last week. The MetO had highs of 8 and 9 for today until Friday, the GFS stuck with 4 to 6. GFS has since stuck to its guns, with 5 to 6 for the next three days (and some snow flurries!) while MetO has 8s and 9s still.

It's currently partly cloudy, 6.5, dew 3.5, the high so far being 6.6. Yesterday's high was 9.8 and the overnight low was 2.9.

Similar here - might drop a degree or so further in the next couple of days. Probably the closest we've been to snow showers for a while in a northerly. Of course that extra 1.5C drop would have helped in the past. I remember a winter, probably 10-20 years ago that was not notable but there were many days when light precipitation mostly fell as snizzle or light snow showers. Never came to anything though.

Well, the back garden started to turn white earlier, briefly, due to a heavy hail shower! The convective engine is still working, but at 7C it was never going to produce snow. Hail is, at least, a bit different to the norm.

I believe we had a slight spattering of hail about an hour ago, as the rain sounded a bit sharp, hitting the windows.

My  bowe  betweyne  you  and  me

In  the  firmamente  shalbe,

By  verey  tocken  that  you  shall  see,

That  suche  vengeance  shall  cease.

Wher  cloudes  in  the  welckine  bene,

That  ilke  bowe  shalbe  seene,

In  tocken  that  my  wrath  and  teene

Shall  never  thus  wrocken  be.

The  stringe  is  torned  towardes  you,

And  towarde  me  is  bente  the  bowe,

That  such  weither  shall  never  shewe,

And  this  behighte  I  thee.

Currently cloudy and still - the current temp has risen up to -0.2c

EDIT - now (0930) clear and sunny again
