Anyway, over here, a short blink-and-you-miss-it moderate blustery cold rain shower has just rattled through here at Folkestone, but now the sun is back out again.

My nephew has just messaged me on FB that it's snowing in Shepton Mallet at this moment, not too far away from here, we've just had a heavy rain shower so not quite cold enough here yet, temp has dropped from 6.3C AT 14.00 to 2.2C now, so cooling down steadily

Wet snow in Minehead. Now that is rare in a westerly. Probably will be a fair bit up on the top of North Hill at the back of us.

latest shower in Evesham started as a potent mix of icy sleet, leaving a sheen of ice on the grass, though turned to mostly rain later.  Bodes well for any further showers tonight though.

Snowing here, ground white but that was from the hail mixed in.  Temperatures fallen to 2.7c, dp -1c.

Wet snow this afternoon near Melton Mowbray. Temporary covering on grass, all gone now.

Thin covering on all surfaces now as flurries come through now and then. One of those evenings when it's snowing whilst the stars are visible.

We had wintry showers overnight here which left a slushy/icy covering all day, odd flurry today but most of the snow seems to be to the north of here, thought we might of been right in the firing line here.

Heavy hail showers on the Wirral currently - wasn't expecting any showers at all in the rain shadow so it'll do for now!

Sleet here in a recent heavy shower. Doesn't feel that cold though. Ground is saturated, so not expecting anything of note

Plenty more coming in from the west in colder air.

Bit of sleety stuff here, temp steady at 2.3C.


Edit, my nephew's rubbing it in a bit now, he's sent a picture showing snow settling in Shepton Mallet.

But I would still expect the likes of Birdlip to see a bit of snow and cause problems tomorrow morning
