We'll I can safely say first snow of 2014 IMBY.... Yes I'm fairly high up and we have some Wet Snow Flakes mixed in witht he rain, not just Hail now but flakes of wet snow.


I'm suprised nobody else on the forum is reporting it.

Dew point here dropping to -2.6C and the air temp is dropping aswell, showers moving westwards off the north sea towards here. Hopefully a hint of wintryness in a short while.

Snow falling here but not settling, air temp 4.1C, dew point -2.2C. I guess the dew point is the factor in this. But the air temp is steadily falling.

Still snowing here but far too wet to stick, it's a similar picture higher up too on the webcams.

Enjoy the snow up north, it was only a brief flirt here, but certainly much chillier!

Wet snow around lunchtime today. Briefly left slight cover of slush. Only daylight flakes since a year ago.

By the looks of things anything that falls will probably be of rain over the next few hours for the north - dew points on the rise. Gone up quite a bit here over the past hour.

Radio reports of wet snow/sleet in a shower at Ryde IoW this morning. Looks very black over that way from here.
