Martin, I think what Evershot got was rain, about the same time as you.
The AWS registered 1.0mm, last tip at 03:08z. Certainly there's what
looks like snow on the ground, even on the road, but I suppose it's
frozen rain. Temp now -2.5C at 07:37z. Sky clear.

Ditto what you have said Hugh except that as I was desperately trying
to resolve a tricky Soduku puzzle, I actually heard what I thought was
rain on my skylight. I remember thinking it was def rain so I did not
get out of my pit to investigate whether it was sleet! exactly 0115

Remarkable ups and downs of temperature in the last 12 hours.

Off to Bedford today so I dare say things will become, well, boring. I
thought a few days ago there were going to be some really deep brisk
moving depressions steaming up the Channel, but that seems to be out
of favour at the moment.
