Wet snow/sleet falling here in the Vale of Mowbray but melting on
contact with windows or ground. Visibility poor so I can't tell if there
is snow lying on the North York Moors. Big shock for all the delicate
new leaves that the trees and hedges have sprouted last week!

Air temp at 5pm 2.5C and has been dropping rapidly since about 3pm.

Hi, Martin,

Starting to pile up here now as temp drops below 0C. About 6cm so far and
still snowing quite heavily, roads covered. I expect the North York moors
and Hambletons will have a fair cover.

18:20Z NNE 17KT(Bft 5) vis 300 metres, sky obscured, snow and blowing snow,
temp -0C dew -1C 1005mb rising quickly. Snow 6cm

Hi, Nigel,
Nice one! It's a rough night alright, snow ploughs up and down the village
but it's blowing back in after them.
Currently about 10cm I think, but it's blowing around a lot. One of my wind
vanes has parted company from the anemometer, could be headed your way!
Could be interesting first thing before the inevitable thaw at this time of
year.
Ken

Even in our relatively sheltered spot there is snow lying this morning.
Actually lying doesn't do it justice - plastered onto the side of every
north facing wall would be a more accurate description. Some sun and
blue skies now but temperature and wind chill make it painful outside.
It is warming slowly now up to 4.2C but the wind makes it feel worse..

Snow on the ground is patchy on fields but wind blown drifts in places.

I pity all the farmers with their new lambs in the fields in this!

Seems to have killed my electronic barometer too :(
