Still quite blowy, but much abated since earlier wednesday night. The odd gust to 40mph now.

Iain's Report is from Walsall

Hi folks. Wednesday was a better day here than forecast: the forecast was for heavy blustery showers, but it wasn't too windy, just force 3 or 4, and it was dry and reasonably bright for much of the day, except for a heavy shower around 13:30. The snow thawed to a great extent although side streets remained quite icy or slushy. Only the remains of snowdrifts left now in the garden. The rain gauge thawed out at last, and I was both pleased and surprised to find that the total of melted snow matched exactly the total of my estimates since the 8th: 22.8 mm. The early afternoon shower produced a further 2.4 mm of rain.
After dark things became interesting: it started to rain again around 18:45 and by 19:30 had changed to snow, big wet flakes but heavy enough to settle again. We had a good covering, about 1.5 cm lying, before the snow stopped around 20:30. Skies then partly cleared and everything froze solid. By 23:00 it was very icy with frozen snow and slush. I was determined to go to the gym but thought I'd better take the car rather than slide there, but by the time I left, around 01:00, it was thawing again and quite easy to scrape the car! There was then some more rain to help the thaw so that the Wednesday evening snow has almost entirely disappeared again. Still only 1C on the car thermometer, though.
The Met Office did a superb job of forecasting the weather here on Wednesday night: it must be a nightmare for forecasters when there's precipitation and the temperature hovering near freezing, but they were spot on for us.

Stats at 04:00: dry bulb 3.5C: wind WSW force 2-3: cloud 5/8 Ac: pressure 990 mb, rising.
Maximum: 6.2C / 991 mb

Forecast pic: rain, storm warning
In the study: 18.8C / 38%
Rainfall 24 hours to 09:00 Wednesday: 0.8 mm (estimated 4 mm since)

Coffee in the pot for you again, CHRIS.

Still no postal delivery since Saturday: large amount of post expected later today. School back and turkeys being defrosted ready for Christmas dinner on Friday. DAVID and JENNY and STU Yes I am very ambivalent about the schools being closed, like you DAVID I went to school in short trousers through the most bitter weather (in the Pennines in my case), I can remember the sore legs, snow over the wellies, milk frozen etc. I think part of the problem now is the increased traffic congestion.

Have a good day all, Iain.

Good Morning from Honiton.
A very wet afternoon yesterday with a chilly feel and today goes on to see much the same.
Heavy, blustery showers falling as sleet sometimes or even snow on higher ground, winds staying on the high side making it a cold feel to the day.
Keep warm everyone and have a nice day.
Thanks again for the coffee IAIN, Just missed one another again!!!

Winds abating with gusts to 37mph. Another 5mm of rain overnight and radar shows more patchy rain coming from the west, looks like a raincoat on raincoat off sort of day ahead.

RickS's Report is from Egham

Very bright, clear morning. Just a crescent moon but you could see the 'unlit' part as well, if that makes sense..!

Everything seems to have levelled out down here today. Temp has stabled out at 4°, Baro at 994/5 and the wind has decided to settle in from the South West at a healthy 12mph.

I reckon that we should be able to squeeze another couple of degrees out of the day but it does look to be clouding up a bit later.

Have a good Thursday and on this day, in 1896, The Glasgow Underground Railway was opened.

Good morning all.I watched the BBC weather last night at the end of the 6pm news AND the weather forecast after the Scottish news.Snow showers forecast for the West coast ONLY. Frost was forming on my car by 19-00. Went to bed at 22-00. Got up at 06-45.During that time period Inverness has obviously changed its geographical position!!!!!! Yes,I have more snow.Sparkling like diamonds as it is so frosty.The estate road not looking good this morning.
25 starlings hoovering up all the bird food at the moment!

Good morning, it's mostly blue sky out there this morning, the snow that fell last evening was just a dusting really so not to bad this morning and we are on a bus route so the road is clear.
