Just had a quick shufty higher up.
It is starting to look white above 400m asl.
Should be good for a stroll later!

Temp now +1.2C and bigger flakes again.

Well it took its time but we now have continuous wet snow.
Snow is starting to stick for longer on velux.

Temp +2.2C

Rate still 2-3 mm/h
Continuous moderate sleet (50/50), much smaller drops now at a
higher
density.
Temp 2.6C and starting to feel chilly outside as the wind is
picking
up
from
the
north now.
Bar 986.1 hPa.
Total precip so far (AWS) is 14.5 mm

Rate 2-3 mm/h
Temperature 2.8C
Continuous moderate sleet (50% rain/snow)
Heaviest precip. is to east ATM which is a pity as a heavy
burst
would
bring
the
snow level down.
But sky is darkening again and pressure is steady at 986.2
hPa.

Is this what modern winters have come to, looking at a velux
to
catch
snowflakes? LOL :-)

Rate 5-6 mm/h
But temperature now 3.0C and wet snow is staying on the
velux
for
longer.
Still continuous heavy sleet at 70% snow 30% rain.

It might turn to snow here but the precip. could stop before
it
does?
Hope these updates are useful for operational forecasters?
