Driven back from Basingstoke to Alton. Sleet falling in Basingstoke when I left and proper wet snow at 500ft ASL around Herriard and Lasham on the A339. Sleet continued at lower levels until I reached Alton where it was much lighter and consequently just rain. Bloody typical!

I can confirm that in Folkestone just before bed at 10pm last night there was one a couple of very occasional wet blobs of sleet in the rain. This morning it's all rain again.
It would seem that the 'peak' of this wintry spell occured around that time when 925Hpa's fell to 0c. This morning with 925Hpa's back to +2c there is now no chance of witnessing such excitement. It's +4.6c this morning, the coldest period in this cold spell was at 11pm when the T2M temperature fell back to 3.8c.
What a winter !
