Hardly any snow left in Southampton but the southward facing slopes of
the Downs outside Winchester, which presumably got some sun this morning, still looked white from the distance as late as 1300 today. They're a bit higher but still generally under 500ft, so obviously it's quite significantly colder just inland. The fastest rate of melting seemed to be after dark yesterday evening. Nick |

I think there was just generally more snow there than in Southampton. It was noticable just the difference between the city centre and Chilworth (1-2" in the centre compared to 3" at Chilworth). There was 6-8" in Basingstoke... Jonathan Update on this: it appeared to still be there at 5.15pm which means three full days with snow cover in (parts of) south Hampshire, probably the first time since February 1996. Seems to be sleeting now so I'm guessing inland areas are going to get further snow tonight - suggesting a snow/rain/snow sequence for this system and hopefully survival of the inland cover till the weekend.

Nick Hi Nick, You're almost right with Feb '96 as far as we in Romsey are concerned (2 doses of 3 days each) but more recently, a fall of 2cm occurred on 28th December 2000, and sat around for 4 days. Currently we have a wintry mix of snow, ice pellets and rain (mostly the first 2 of those), in the moderate category, trying to settle. The precipitation began at 2100Z as light snow.

Nigel *(Romsey, Hampshire) Similar here (Southampton) - but has just become proper snow in Southampton (around 2240) Some settling on car roofs. Actually today was colder than expected: it was supposed to be the "mildest" day of the week but it definitely felt colder than yesterday, due I suspect to the wind going round to the east again.

It's remarkable how much snow amounts can change over a short distance. Here in Cranleigh, Surrey, we had about 7cm overnight Sunday/Monday. I had a report of 14cm in Bramley, 5 miles to the NW, and there was around 25cm in Guildford, another 4 miles or so further north. -- John Hall "It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information."
