Yes Rodney, I was driving on the M25 near Riegate at about 2230 GMT, and
went through some heavy rain. Over a distance of about a mile, the sound of
the rain on the windscreen became markedly louder, and I wondered if there
was hail, but I could also see the tell-tale splodges of recently melted or
partially melted snow. Mind you, I think that the road is about 700ft ASL
there.

After a very cold and wet afternoon in Rutland, we were driving home near
Uppingham when I thought I saw the characteristic splodges of sleet on the
windscreen - but I could not be sure from my position at the back of a
rather full "people carrier".

A short time later the driver reported that the indicated outside
temperature was 5 (I don't know how accurate). Anyone else see sleet today
(Sunday 18th)?
