Some very wet, sleety snow here as a trough passes over. That was quite a surprise, I didn't think we'd see anything!

The precipitation band has just arrived at my end and indeed it is snowing lightly at 5.4 c, it's the 0 c dewpoint that is helping to support it from aloft. Somehow was able to overcome going over them thar hills to my north which normally acts like a fliter.

I have been reliably informed we had a light covering of snow earlier, about 7.30am.

Nothing here despite wintry showers being forecast we have temperatures of 13c in the sun and dropping to 12c under cloud?

Many people reporting snow and heavy snow - are you sure it's actual snowflakes? It could be soft hail, sleet or ice pellets? Sometimes they do look similar remember, I recall many people shouting snow in March 2013 when in actual fact it was soft hail - I am would be very surprised if it's snow (pure snow) that's falling if you are recording temperatures of +5, +6c +7c.

Similar here - light snow for about 45 minutes to an hour but neither cold enough nor sustained enough to settle.


Now the sun is back out and it looks quite pleasant - until you step outside... 


 


Just in passing - looking at the radar I think there may be a polar low developing in the North Sea, east of Aberdeen between Scotland and Norway.

A flurry of snow (very light!) as another shower passes through. This time it wasn't the wet stuff, but the powdery dry type... inidcative of some very cold air aloft!


4.7C, dew -2.2C.


EDIT: It fell to 4.6C, -2.6C as I was writing this!

It has been snowing on and off (horizontally) here in very strong gusty winds for much of the day so far. The sun is strong enough to melt the cover in many places but not where it is drifting in the shade.

Currently it is 1.3°C sunny and snowing.

So with powdery dry snow and outside air temperatures of almost +5c. Wow! New to me. Must be cold air aloft then for snow to fall at such high temperatures?


We had a few minutes of icy hail then that was it - temp of +9.5c.
