I've still got a few patches of snow in the shaded area of the

see a tiny patch on a nearby roof but I doubt it'll last many more
minutes.


... careful now: if Sky News see that post, they'll divert the
'Skycopter' from central London to hover over your house!

Soft hail in Dawlish. Floating down a bit like snow, but it can't fool
me

The air in this North to North-Westerly Arctic airflow today has been
so dry, between the snow showers, that I managed to cut the grass,
late this afternoon, after a centimetre of snow and having built 4
(very small) snowmen at 0900 this morning. I think that's a first, for
me. The snowmenn had gone to make a few more clouds by 1200!

Heavy soft hail now. Covering the grass. These kind of showers often
end with snowflakes, as the cold air is progressively dragged down
from aloft with the shower.

Terrific convection today. Cold uppers and warm sunshine. A perfect
combination.

Enjoy it Paul, it's fantastic isn't it!

Plenty more showers to come this week, though becoming less wintry with
time.
