Am noticing similar.
Temp down to 1 deg here, from 3 deg most of the afternoon.
Barometer may still be dropping, but is now at 980 - was 1110 last night.
Showers of snow and sleet, and now hail passing over.
Wind F 2-3, with occasional gusts to F5.

Here she comes!
:cool:

Temp now 1c, little dusting of snow outside, just enough for one snow ball maybe lol, ominous looking out my window, wind gone very gusty, more snow coming shortly I'd say.

Ps: The missus has been looking through the window for the last few hours, if it get's any colder I'll let her in...

Some really large showers lurking around, showers tend to pass as quick as they appear though, is going to be hit and miss scenario if you ask me.
