Back to rain.. boo hoo.

I haven't seen any snow per say. But I did see some large snow flakes swirling in the cloud above. Although none of it got to the ground, it was fairly noticble. Looked like a blizzard in the clouds. 

So you have seen snow

Any reports from the Midlands as to what is racing down the spine of the country currently?

The snow level was close enough to the ground, that swirling flakes of snow were clearly visible overhead. 

Its a messy mix. Anything on high ground is sleet or snow, at lower levels its rain or sleet, and mostly rain. In the core of that street, sleetiness is most likely to be found at lower levels. Also if that street gets anywhere near E englia or humberside, it will turn rapidally to snow. 

OK, so I do head up to Epsom Downs/Boxhill to catch my first snow of the season in about an hour or so? Will it miss me to the West,. will it be rain?

Not sure what's falling out of the sky but the temp here is down to 3.8c. Breeze has picked up a bit too. Snow can't be too far from the hills around here. 

In theory, I could catch the western edge of that later tonight, in practice, I'm sure it'll amount to nothing by the time it gets here ......   I'll not be staying up!

Thanks for update, not sure what to do...though the wife is getting on my nerves so may use it as an excuse to shoot upto the Cock Horse at Headley for a swifty!

Moderate wet snow here folks!

The cold pool over yorkshire has merged with the larger one over E anglia. The constant heavy precipatation is starting to have an effect. But note, the cold air lies SE of the main shower band, despite this we could see some flash precip changes particularly in yorkshire, and especially if the wind has any chance to drop. And if that band does move a little further SE, then snow could become potentially widespread to lower levels. 

Oh Boxhill is about 600ft asl so I must stand a chance, surely?

Fingers crossed for you!

Well over 700ft in the village at the top.

Snow is now sticking on cars and grassy surfaces.

Edit - sticking on the road too!

OK this is the situ. As expected a rapid change to snow in yorkshire now. The black lines indicate cold pools. Basically where evap cooling is capable of turning the precip to snow. The two pools over E anglia and humberside have merged and are now causing a snow transformation in yorkshire. There is a smaller cold pool also starting to develop in SW wales. 

iphone on charge, car headlights at the ready. Heading out in 15mins....
