Very short (10 mins max) snow grain shower here around 5.30 GMT. Sky
clearing rapidly now with bright stars. The snow settled almost at once
on hard surfaces except right up by houses, and there's now an
attractive dusting on the pavements, though presumably that will
quickly disappear once the sun comes up. Temperature currently stands
at +1°C.

Bewdley, Worcs, ~90m asl.

I thought I heard something in the night, sounded more like hail here, the
way it was hitting the windows. Glazed over 'nicely', hopefully gritters
will be out.

Hmmm; I can't say it definitely wasn't soft hail, since I didn't go out
in it for more than ten seconds; I should have made that clear. But
here at least it looked more snowy than haily in the way it was coming
down.

Having a shower of something like it here in Shrewsbury, 16.50. I'd
say it's (small) soft hail, looks a bit big for snow grains (and not
graupel either), solid but soft ppn, crushable, about 3mm across. Temp
a bit high for snow grains too. Looks snowy at first, in that it blows
around in the wind, but I'd go for hail.
