Gather them here. Hoping for a few flakes this evening in showers. Might drive up to Haldon and see a possible change to snow late afternoon as this system passes and we get into the cold air behind the cold front.


Am not home but daughter #1 keeping me updated. Has settled on cars with slushy accumulation on pavements. Currently (at 1839z) 0.6C (dp 0.5C) - heading down at a rate of 0.1C every 10 minutes. Am surprised by the amount of rain so far: 14.1mm until the gauge stopped registering when it turned to sleet / wet snow.


Snowing and laying on most surfaces now, about 1/2 inch. Temperature
currently 0.8°C DP -0.5°C

Good shout from the Met Office this one, can't fault the forcast from
about 3 days ago.
