Heavy hail shower with snow mixed in giving an icy covering on all surfaces.
Drifts of ice on side of moorland road.

0850

Temp 4.2 deg C
Dewpoint 1 deg C
Wind (est 10m) NW 22 knots gust 36 knots (severe gale force 9 on open exposed
moor)
5/8 Cu and isol arctic Cb (low topped)
Visibility 10-15Km
Rainfall since midnight 3.3 mm
Bar 1010 hPa falling quickly

Heavy shower of hail and snow.
Temp 2.5 deg C and crashing down.
Dewpoint 0 deg C
Visibility 300m
Everywhere turning white rapidly
Temporary northerly gale.

STOP PRESS

0925

Continuous heavy snow, big flakes - blizzard conditions, snow settling on road
rapidly.
Snow depth 1 cm

0930 Snow stopped leaving all surfaces white with a covering.

More Cbs to my north so it looks like more snow to come.

The rapid fall in dewpoint would indicate that a trough has come through, bar
has now kicked.

Looks like you have more on the way Will, the good old SE is in it's
usual sheltered position with NW'ly.

The radar picture is interesting, with some clearly defined "streaks"
running NW to SE across the Wales and the SW. Looks like parts of
Hampshire and Sussex are also getting some substantial precipitation,
unusually with the wind in this direction. (And the area round the Great
Glen seems to be getting a real pasting.)

================

1045
Temp 3.8 deg C
Dewpoint 1 deg C
Wind (est 10m) northwesterly 23 knots gust 40 knots
Light sleet showers

Snow cover now disappeared and eveywhere looks green. Still some snow cover
around Hay Tor summit (looking out of top bedroom window). Patches of snow/hail
where it has blown.
Warm sunshine in between showers but wind is fierce and is almost certainly
storm force above 500m (so not a day for venturing high on Dartmoor unless you
have Arctic clothing and plenty of experience and good equipment).

Rainfall 4.8 mm since midnight (AWS) (but some missed due to horizontal snow)
Bar 1011 hPa steady
