Snowing here now quite a covering.

An ice day today.

My power is out so my weather station is on battery standby. Culdrose RNAS 7 miles from me went from gusts of 38mph to 85mph  and the temperature has dropped from 10.5c to 4.9c in an hour.

after 5 minutes of huge wet flakes falling horizontally in the wind here in Okehampton and the temperature falling to 0.8c it has now risen to 1.8c with sleety rain again. - That's it I think? oh well. Was interesting how the temperature rose so high to +11c with drizzly rain today then dropped to 0.8c in a matter or hours with heavy sleety snow and now rises to 2.0c again and continues to rise with sleety rain and perhaps soon becoming all rain!? :/

Uppers are -2.5@ 850hpa perhaps why at such low temperature and wind that there is more rain than snow!?

Here in Edinburgh, it looks as though slightly less cold air is now starting to come from off the North Sea to the north of where Storm Goretti is currently located.

In the last hour or so, the temperature has risen back up to just below freezing and no more so if rises much further, we could find that today actually ends up not being our coldest day of the winter so far after all due to it that bit milder later on.

Furthermore, the band of showers to our east which is very slowly approaching us from off the North Sea is showing up on the latest radar maps to be just falling as rain with any snow being confined to more inland and higher parts.

All change here, the wind has picked up, max gust 27mph in the garden, temperatures have nose dived in the last 30 minutes, 1.4c and DP at 0c, it's also started raining again so maybe a bit of lamp post watching. Edit. temps are dropping still, 1.2c now and DP -1.

Light to moderate snow is now falling here in NW Edinburgh which is also giving a slight covering here.

Currently just below freezing but around 0°C here in Edinburgh with the only downside being that the temperatures have been refusing to drop as the night has gone on, which means that tonight is unlikely to be as cold as last night.

Entertainingly miserable here (as for many in the SE quadrant I assume) - wobbling around 1.4c, DP 1c, showery rain and windy. 

Hoping to at least see some flakes in the rain at some point!

A few bits of sleet in the rain here, 2.2 / dew 1.5. My pup is most unimpressed by it all and gave me a most sour look when I suggested he go outside!

Currently -1°C here with occasional light and patchy rain (no that’s not a typo). 

The snow cover is completely unthawed from yesterday but any surfaces that had been cleared now have a uniform layer of ice on them.

Getting absolutely hammered with heavy snow here today. Another 3 inches has fallen in the last hour with the temperature rising from -5.0C at 9 am to -1.5C at 2 pm. Met radar not showing the true extent of the heavy and persistent precipitation. No sign of it letting up.

Here in NW Edinburgh, the slight covering of snow which we got during the night has now already completely disappeared from here.

There was a bit of sleet and wet snow earlier on which never really settled here and although this has largely all died away for now, it remains rather dull, grey and dismal here.

However, today isn't quite as cold as yesterday with the temperature here in Edinburgh currently at around 2°C.

31 mm so far today as Goretti pull onto the Low Countries, most of it rain but did turn sleety for a time in morning. Currently 3.0 C, that feels most unpleasant in brisk NW wind.

 If it is just 2 C colder.

We had another 5 inches of fresh snow today between 11 and 6 pm. Been dry since with temperature holding between -2.1C and -1.6C. 

I'm nervously looking at the radar to see if we get any more snow overnight. Hoping to dig my car out in the morning and get out of the street to drive down to Edinburgh for the Hibs game. Any more snow overnight and I think I'm goosed.
