And there are a few flakes amongst the raindrops.  First seen for 2 years.

Dutch radar always the best in these situations locally

...and the answer is... loads of rain, not even a hint of sleetiness.

What utter horse manure.

(You would have thought that -9C at 850 would have been enough, but apparently not. It's not even close, either, with an air temperature of 4.1C and a dewpoint of 2.4C - the latter having risen as the rain's set in).

That is exactly what we experience from a long ”cold” SEly in midwinter.

I'm sorry retron but I did laugh out loud at that post.

Showers fairly isolated here but definitely snow.

In other news 1051hpa!

I don't think people realize how crazy this is. It's like seeing 20C in January or snow at in June, that's how unusual this is.

There has never been HP of this strength outside of winter before. We are pushing up on the all time record at the end of March!

Malin Hd reporting 1051 mb also, although this may be just a rounded up figure. 

1050mb... and it's mostly cloudy and quite blustery with the odd shower rattling through.

Not quiet the weather you would expect with an air pressure like that!

Wonder if that band is a warm frontal feature.

If it is you might get snow out of it later as it pushes back south.

It is. Notice the higher thetaE values behind that band in the SE.

However do not panic. This is what it looks like by 5pm.

Here in Edinburgh, we had a pressure of 1048.4mb and rising at Edinburgh Gogarbank at 9am this morning.

It's a shame though, that this high pressure isn't on the other side of the UK from where it is and therefore, bringing us some real decent spring weather with a gentle wind from the south.

Had this been winter though, I'm sure that this would probably have been the case and in that scenario, this area of high pressure would probably not have been that position where it is just now, from where it is bringing in those cold winds from the N or NE with some snow showers in places.

It's just like the thing though, that this always seems to be be how it ends up.

Warmer dewpoints in the SE very noticable.

Should decrease this afternoon though for those hoping for snow.

A random beefy snow shower has passed through here, a bit inland, in Hertfordshire.

1048mb here which is the highest I can remember yet the weather is horrible. Never seen such poor weather at 1040mb+ as this weekend has produced.

Once again it is the nasty unpleasant wind which is as bad as if it were 970mb. Just never lets up any more. If a high pressure cell of almost 1050mb can't get rid of it then what can?

Was even raining yesterday - a horrible nasty icy rain that did briefly give a snow flurry and the only day with snow/sleet this month which is a disgrace when combined with the entire absence of anything warm or pleasant. Had more snow during last years far warmer and sunnier March. 

Nothing remotely cold either other than the rotten wind. Min of 1.6C and hasn't gone below freezing since the 20th. Awful spell of weather 

Snowing lightly again here.

Light snow with some hail mixed in here at the moment.

Snow showers I've seen today:

3:30 am: Woke me up, heavy sleet/rain/hail shower

7:30am: Moderately heavy snow shower

10:30am: Light snow shower

10:50am: Light sleety snow shower

11:10am: Light rain/sleet shower

11:50am: Moderately heavy sleet/snow/snow pellet shower

Big question, will any showers develop in situ over the next hour or two as a direct result of solar heating (i.e not the lake effect)
