The precipitation started as soft hail, turned to snow, ended as snow, then we got a shower of semolina! (I kid you not, I'm sure that graupel/sleet was actually cold semolina!

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 |

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. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK.

Martin. -- Martin Rowley E: W: booty.org.uk 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 |

Will --- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. Paul |
