Default Snow in lowland areas next week?

The semolina I used to have years ago was flakes. The small snow pellets we
referred to as sago.

Sago eh? Could be. When it snows/rains frog's eyes, we'll be in
trouble, though! Every little bit of this morning's snow has now
disappeared, but there are some super Cu+s against a perfect blue
background. A pretty perfect weather morning

I've still got a few patches of snow in the shaded area of the garden and I
see a tiny patch on a nearby roof but I doubt it'll last many more minutes.

Soft hail in Dawlish. Floating down a bit like snow, but it can't fool
me

The air in this North to North-Westerly Arctic airflow today has been
so dry, between the snow showers, that I managed to cut the grass,
late this afternoon, after a centimetre of snow and having built 4
(very small) snowmen at 0900 this morning. I think that's a first, for
me. The snowmenn had gone to make a few more clouds by 1200!

Heavy soft hail now. Covering the grass. These kind of showers often
end with snowflakes, as the cold air is progressively dragged down
from aloft with the shower.

Terrific convection today. Cold uppers and warm sunshine. A perfect
combination.

Paul

PS Yup, as I thought it might, the shower is ending in snowflakes; not
many of them and a little rain mixed in as well. Just great weather
watching!!

Paul

Enjoy it Paul, it's fantastic isn't it!

Plenty more showers to come this week, though becoming less wintry with
time.

Well it hasn't achieved the criterion for "lying snow" here (50% cover
at 0900), but we've actually got some of yesterday's late shower still
sitting on the lawn. It won't last long, but yesterday proved itself
to be the snowiest day in Dawlish for 9 years. 1 cm of lying snow at
it's max, which quickly melted, then a heavy late shower, the results
of which froze.

"That'll do, pig", said the bluff shepherd. Onwards to spring and
summer. Hopefully that's it for the cold, but the UK weather is always
full of surprises. Snow in May, anyone?

The Haldon Hills are certainly snow covered Will, as I'm sure you can
see from your eerie.
