Sloppy stuff here now

Sloppy stuff here now

And the snow?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Sleeting in BN9. 3degs

 

[JackB247]

Snowing in Burgess Hill but not settling

 

[Official Old Man]

Uckfield has just had a bit of sleet. No doubt our train line will stop soon.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

A bit of white drizzle, nothing more...which is good

 

[Arthur]

Typical. Radar now showing the streamer is running to the north of Uckfield. Crowborough looks to be getting a good period of snow, but nothing doing here.

Nah. White stuff was falling from the sky but I would have hardly called it snow.

Far too wet and warm for it to settle.

Did give the decking down the park a little dusting though.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

More snow moving off the North Sea

That's snow, whether it settles or not. What you see on that decking is what I rather coarsely described as "pellet" snow earlier, but is more accurately named graupel (now I've looked it up). Whether it settles or not is irrelevant - it's the structure of the precipitation that counts. The graupel where I am was accumulating on roof tops easily enough initially, but it didn't last long as graupel and once it shifted to the wet flake type snow it all melted away rapidly.

It was never going to settle today (not unless we got an absolute dumping). Air temp slightly too high, but more importantly the soaked ground from the recent rain. Until we get much colder air in that can cool the saturated ground, any snow we get will melt easily once it lands.

Sleet in BN14

Well there you go. Every day is a school day and all that.

Not sure I agree about it settling though. Yes granted I guess you can say it officially "snowed" but surely the whole point of it snowing is to make picture perfect scenes and give the kids a day off school to go sledging?!?

Still a dusting of "graupel" (I prefer pellet snow....more accurate description IMO) on roof tops and cars here in Crowborough.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Been snowing on and off all morning in Wadhurst.
Slight covering on the grass earlier but clear now

Suspect there may be some lying snow over in Kent before too long. Looks like there's a much larger / more widespread event on the way. Just had another flurry here in Uckfield (graupel then flakes), but stopped again. But that radar image @Papa Lazarou shared is shifting it's way south-westwards and should hit us all before too long.

Edit: do feel sorry for the guys we have here today doing some external build work. Not the best of weather to be putting together a bespoke lean-to sort-of-garage for a motorcycle.

 

[Weststander]

Still snowing here and settling nicely.

Who needs forecasts when we have @Audax and his streamers .

 

[sparkie]

I hate snow in Brighton, no one can feckin drive properly, keep a steady pace seems so hard for some folks, Elm Grove and our road which runs parallel are murder, the amount of times I have seen cars slide down those roads smashing and bouncing into other cars is mind blowing.

Train for me when the snow comes, either that or hit the coast road where the Salt from the sea helps with the road to work.

Agreed.

I hope it doesn't snow at all for the next 12 years. Then I retire, won't have to drive in it and can just look at it through the window.

 

[banjo]

Heavy sleet up on the downs.

 

[Mellotron]

Lightly snowing in Arundel. Doesn't look like settling.

 

[Oscar]

I see the Arsegas is doing the usual panic blog. Snowflakes for snowflakes.

Have they given this latest bit of weather a name yet? Terry the Tundra, Brian Blizzard?

 

[Insel affe]

Spitting in Lancing.....

That's just the women.

 

[casbom]

Had a couple of decent snow flurries (and graupel) but now very light.
