Wet snow/sleet falling here in the Vale of Mowbray but melting on
contact with windows or ground. Visibility poor so I can't tell if there
is snow lying on the North York Moors. Big shock for all the delicate
new leaves that the trees and hedges have sprouted last week!

Air temp at 5pm 2.5C and has been dropping rapidly since about 3pm.

Hi, Martin,

Starting to pile up here now as temp drops below 0C. About 6cm so far
and still snowing quite heavily, roads covered. I expect the North York
moors and Hambletons will have a fair cover.

Even in our relatively sheltered spot there is snow lying this morning.
Actually lying doesn't do it justice - plastered onto the side of every
north facing wall would be a more accurate description. Some sun and
blue skies now but temperature and wind chill make it painful outside.
It is warming slowly now up to 4.2C but the wind makes it feel worse..

Snow on the ground is patchy on fields but wind blown drifts in places.

I pity all the farmers with their new lambs in the fields in this!

18:20Z NNE 17KT(Bft 5) vis 300 metres, sky obscured, snow and blowing
snow, temp -0C dew -1C 1005mb rising quickly. Snow 6cm

Seems to have killed my electronic barometer too
