Precipitation started about an hour ago in the form of a highly unpleasant
sleety mix of rain and ice pellets. Wind strong and raw, Temp 3.8C.
A foul morning and will get worse before it gets better....

Aha - my prediction of snow somewhere not impossible then. It was 5-6C
here last night with strong winds and heavy rain. Just about stopping
now after 25mm for the event. Accurate prediction by the Met Office.

The ice pellets stopped soon after I posted that, but I've just been
out and overheard somebody saying that he'd heard there was snow
somewhere. Conditions on the higher routes must be 'interesting'.

Temp 3.4C. It really is vile out there.
The vast majority of winter days aren't this unpleasant to be
'out & about' in.

There's no snow to be seen on the Cat & Fiddle webcam (515m a.s.l.), just lots
of water. I agree, Col, that it really is a dreadful day. Not surprisingly,
there's been no walkers on the footpath past our house this morning :-)

Feeling very cold in the wind but not a lot of rain here, was expecting a
lot
more looking at the forecast.
Some light to moderate sleet at first then patchy rain with the temp around
3.1c

Just light and patchy rain now with temp up to 3.8c

4.2mm here so far.
