Maybe at the top of the Shard....

Some sleet and wet snow on the back edge of the CF as it charged through here earlier on. Temperature drop of 2.5c between 7am and 8am.

Thanks Martin keep these updates coming ...and some photos for us snow starved midlanders please (away from peak district area of course) looked at your website , all looks very impressive.

very heavy rain here and squalluy winds blowing leaves around, no sogn of anything wintry though.....  6.1c

Hi NDJF, thanks for the kind words. Its great to hear from a fellow midlander, I was born in Great Barr and mom and dad had great friends who lived in Green Lane Castle Bromwich. I miss it there and also the hot weather sometimes and we also very rarely have thunder. Just little ones like last nights during the winter.
Its a beautiful day now big clouds and sleety showers after a wild night last night.
The weather doesn't look very interesting for me the next two weeks. I moved here to be near mom and dad who are from up here and also to have some interesting weather. We have a great autumn, winter and spring, very varied from minus 10 most winters or lower and very stormy weather and extreme amounts of rain . Summer is busy but also boring constant cloud drizzle and temps of about 18 degrees except this summer which was a real hot summer.
I will keep posting when I can and will be interested to see whats happening down there.
I think our nightime squall has reached you in the last hour.

Extraordinary weather here !
As this front pushed though, extrmely windy, blowing stuff over. Torrential rain quickly turning to sleety/snowy mix
Temp dropped down from +5.2c to +2.1c in 20 mins
And still sleeting

the front shows up quite nicely. Hope to see a few white bits too. Maybe the only sighting this winter! LOL

---

The front has just hit London. Gone very dark, loud hail/ice bashing the windows.

---

Heavy rain and sleet here in Hook, Hants. The heaviest part is when the sleet fell, noticeably there is ice settled on car windscreens which has slid down to the windscreen wipers to a height of about 4 inches; also car rooves had a speckled appearance due to the slush on them. The intensity has now dropped and it's all melting.

---

At work in Shenley. Had the squall line go through with 1 rumble of thunder, hail then snow for 5 minutes.  Temps dropped to 2.8c but now back upto 3.1c.

Impressive

 

Wet snow here in North London turning more to proper snow all the time.

---

Some sleet with rain at 06:20 this morning.

---

Much to my surprise we had some sleet and wet snow briefly, in amongst the rain, as the cold front went through about 30-45 minutes ago.  Before that a burst of hail and a single clap of thunder.

---

Sleety/Hail here, wind really picked up with it also

---

One of the most marginal soundings ever!

Snow possible in the SE tonight. 

Notice despite this very nearly being a snow sounding, how high the 850s are.

Those showers over the west midlands are really pepping up. A large yellow area has also shown up on my precip type radar, representing hail. Slow moving hail showers, must cool down the atmosphere - although with dps significantly above zero they can only do so much. Radar picking up the odd red pixel in that area too, so apparantly it is cold enough for snow in the heaviest of the showers there. 

This is really wierd, there are pockets of low dps in the UK, for instance church fenton is reading 0C dewpoints. 

Potential for some widespread (i.e well distributed) but very local snow this afternoon right down to sea level. If you can get a bit of shelter from the wind that would really help. 

---

The heavy showers over the Midlands seem to be fizzling out very rapidly as they move SE. Still bright low sunshine here in London.

---

I'm near church fenton and my dp is 0.1c

---

As I mentioned on the Convection thread early this morning, the showers associated with the occlusion are getting going in the NE of England now, and will continue into the evening. Snow likely over hills as this area of showers pushes through, perhaps some sleet or wet snow for a time at lower levels in the heavier stuff.

---

Very heavy wet snow here now, higher routes will be turning white rapidly.

---

Weather warning for the Pennines: temporary snow accumulations.

Wouldn't be surprised to see non-settling wet snow here.

---

Wintry mix coming down here, rain, sleet and occasional snow.

---

 

Ditto here - miserable weather

---

Starting to snow!! 😃

---

Just rain here. Heavy rain. Temps don't look right for snow apart from on higher ground.
