Anyone else in the West Midlands spot the sleet on the car windscreen

In Coventry, the air temperature was 4C, so it is possible my eyes
(and those of my better half) were not deceiving me.

Might just qualify as a "snow" day!


I reckon it should. I was driving from Coventry (Westwood Heath) to
Kenilworth at 1630 yesterday, the car thermometer was showing 4 deg C
and some of the heavier precipitation hitting the windscreen
definitely had sleet in it.
