Started as rain 10 minutes ago but now heavy sleet with 50/50 mix rain
and big snow flakes. Apparently it is snowing hard in Princetown just
100 metres higher up.
T +2.8C


Now snowing at 2150. Big wet flakes.
T +2.3C

Jolly good. I was about to say it probably would as it did just that at
Anfield and I guess you are on a similar longitude and your altitude
compensating for their northerlyness. :-)

While here in Tideswell, about 50 miles ESE of Anfield but 300 metres higher up,
we only have wet sleet. There must be quite a bit of cold air advection going
on.

Did look like it was very heavy rain at first.
