Default [WR] Early morning rain, sleet and snow - north Kent

Don't know how you managed to record 0.8C, I live just around the corner in
Warden Bay and the minimum I have is 3.0C and currently 3.8C. 3.1C in
Sheerness at present with a dew point at 7:58 of +2.0C. Not cold enough for
snow!

I was awoken around half four this morning by some heavy rain drumming on
the roof - there was the odd flake of sleet mixed in (at 2.9C). I couldn't
get back to sleep so instead watched the rain becoming increasingly sleety,
then the sleet turned increasingly to snow.

By 5:40AM it was snowing with the temperature at 1.3C. Just after six
o'clock it stopped, with the temperature by now at 0.8C. The temperature's
since recovered to 1.2C, but I'd imagine as that lot heads inland some
areas could well see an inch or more of snow!

WR refers to Leysdown, north Kent, 10m ASL.
